A study of female consumers given identical cookies found they preferred the taste of ones marketed with healthful images and messaging. The study found that "restrained" eaters who watch their intake consumed more of the cookies presented as healthful, perhaps on the mistaken belief they were lower in calories. The findings were published in Food Quality and Preference. FoodNavigator (1/28)       | Dietary Health |  | | |  | - Dietitians: Menu planning, small changes are key to healthier eating
Planning a menu and shopping list and making informed choices can lead to healthy dietary changes, says Erin Corrigan, nutrition manager at Miami Children's Hospital.

The study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, found that late-lunchers ate less for breakfast, were more likely to skip breakfast and had a lower insulin sensitivity.

U.S. researchers who used a culturally modified DASH diet in a study of blacks in two communities found it led to significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption and made participants more confident about eating healthier.

Lawmakers in Colorado are considering legislation that would require schools where at least 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches to serve breakfast after the school day has begun. A sponsor of the bill, Rep. Tony Exum, D-Colorado Springs, said a goal is to give students more time to eat and said schools can choose how and where to serve breakfast. Some possibilities include a grab-and-go style meal and serving breakfast in the classroom. Daily Camera (Boulder, Colo.)/The Associated Press (1/25) - Cheesy baked spaghetti squash
