EAST LANSING, Mich., May 31 (UPI) -- Lower-income children had healthier diets when their moms led by example and persuaded but did not "yell at them" to eat their vegetables, U.S. researchers say.
Sharon Hoerr, a professor of food science and human nutrition at Michigan State University, and colleagues said overtly restricting certain foods from a child when others are eating them at mealtimes can lead to unhealthy eating.
