Kids don’t want to eat their broccoli? Try

 adding a cool superhero moniker to the 

mix, says study 

Kids are less likely to not eat their veggies if they come with cool names, like “X-ray Vision 

Carrots” and “Power Punch Broccoli". When grammar school cafeterias introduced the fun

monikers, the students ate twice as many vegetables as they did when veggies were simply

labeled, “Food of the Day,” according to research published in the journal Preventive 

Medicine. “It makes it more accessible,” study researcher David Just, of Cornell University,

told the Daily News. “It’s as simple as finding

names that are attractive to them.”
