Summary

The goal of this study is to test whether a longer meal duration could improve the diet quality of children. To answer this question we want to take an experimental approach by implementing a longer family meal duration to examine differences in children's eating behavior. The family dinner within a laboratory setting will be video taped and the main outcome is children's fruit and vegetables consumption.
