The study investigated why children avoid fruits and evaluate whether to make more accessible fruits would have an impact on consumption. The researchers included several schools in the study, which divided them into 2 groups: Some received a commercial machine for cutting fruit and then place them into glasses and serve in the cafeteria. The other control group received the machine and continued to serve the same whole fruit in the cafeteria. The results were surprising.
