Food neophobia and mealtime food consumption in 4–5 year old children

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
Abstract
These results support previous research that has suggested that neophobia impacts differentially on consumption of different food types. Specifically it appears that children who score highly on the CFNS eat less fruit, vegetables and protein foods than their less neophobic peers. Attempts to increase intake of fruit, vegetables and protein might usefully incorporate strategies known to reduce the neophobic response.
