“…While multiple factors influence eating behaviors and food choices among youth, one potent force that affects eating behavior is food cue exposure (Boswell and Kober, 2016, Boyland et al, 2016, Folkvord et al, 2016a). Multiple studies have shown that food cue exposure leads to actual eating by activating a series of physiologic responses (Stice et al, 2009a, Stice et al, 2009b, Nederkoorn and Jansen, 2002, Castellanos et al, 2009) and psychological (Folkvord et al, 2016a, Castellanos et al, 2009, Gearhardt et al, 2014, Yokum et al, 2014, Saunders and Robinson, 2013) responses.…”

Food cues of palatable food are omnipresent, thereby simulating the intake of unhealthy snack food among children. As a consequence, this might lead to a higher intake of energy-dense snacks and less fruit and vegetables, a habit that increases the risk of developing chronic diseases. The aim of this experimental study is to examine whether playing a memory game with fruit affects fruit intake among young children. We used a randomized between-subject design with 127 children (age: 7–12 y) who played a memory-game, containing either fruit (n = 64) or non-food products (n = 63). While playing the memory-game in a separate room in school during school hours, free intake of fruit (mandarins, apples, bananas, and grapes) was measured. Afterwards, the children completed self-report measures, and length and weight were assessed. The main finding is that playing a memory-game containing fruit increases overall fruit intake (P = 0.016). Children who played the fruit version of the memory-game ate more bananas (P = 0.015) and mandarins (P = 0.036) than children who played the non-food memory-game; no effects were found for apples (P > 0.05) and grapes (P > 0.05). The findings suggest that playing a memory-game with fruit stimulates fruit intake among young children. This is an important finding because children eat insufficient fruit, according to international standards, and more traditional health interventions have limited success. Healthy eating habits of children maintain when they become adults, making it important to stimulate fruit intake among children in an enjoyable way.Trial registration: Nederlands Trial Register TC = 5687

Abstract:The period of adolescence is a period of rapid biological, physical and social changes. Diet of adolescents is based on eating large amounts of fast food. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between high school students in several cities of the Republic of Srpska (Banja Luka, Gradiška, Srbac, Teslić and Čelinac) and their attitude towards food and the consumption of fast food, as well as food products that are commonly found in their menu.In this paper, a survey among high school students of both sexes, aged between 15 and 19 was conducted. The survey included 12 questions that can be classifi ed into three groups: general information about the students, the data on physical activities of adolescents who consume "fast food" in their diet and information about their knowledge about the impact of the diet on their overall health.A great number of students (89.90%) do not think that fast food belongs to the group of "healthy" food, and they think (82.70%) that it has impact on their overall health. More than half of the students (52.90%) are satisfi ed with their body weight. There is about the same number of students who think that they are overweight (23.90%) or underweight (23.20%). The vast majority of students (92.80%) have not still had acute health problems due to the consumption of fast food. 58.60% of the students are partially satisfi ed with their diet, 31.10% are satisfi ed with their diet, and 61.3% of them would like change their diet.
