\u00a0Cauliflower is the most common food boycotted by fussy eaters below the age of four years.<\/p>\n
A total of 68 per cent refuse to eat the vegetable.<\/p>\n
Cabbage, sprouts, minced beef and onions also proved unpopular food with young children.<\/p>\n
According to a study by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, 42 per cent of parents said their children were fussy eaters.<\/p>\n
But, of these parents, just 34 per cent encouraged their child to eat the food they fussed about.<\/p>\n
This was mostly due to the temper tantrums thrown by the youngsters.<\/p>\n
\u201cInevitably, it seems that the results show that children are most likely to dislike the foods that are better for them; which can often be a problem\u201d, Says Mark Pearson, Chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith so much convenience food at our finger tips it can be very tempting to turn to fast food in order to avoid the tantrums, something I am sure that many parents have battled with in the past. However, I am sure that we are all aware of the health issues spreading across the UK that are a direct result of a poor diet, so hopefully this is enough to encourage parents to be a little more persistent with their children and what they eat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
