Question: Can you talk about the challenges that Australian mums with kids aged 2-12 face in regularly providing a diet incorporating all healthy food groups?
Lola Berry: Our survey found that over three quarters of Aussie kids aged 2-12 years old are classified as 'picky" when it comes to eating healthy foods prepared by their parents, so no doubt parents have a very challenging time providing a diet incorporating all these healthy food groups for their kids. The challenges lie in the fact that parents struggle to find ways to prepare healthy foods that will appeal to their children, and therefore they fear their children are not getting the healthy nutrients they need. We've developed some exciting and creative recipes in line with the DVD release of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 that parents can make and their kids will want to eat, purely because the 'healthy" foods are hidden and disguised in amongst the other foods, and the general presentation of the food is really fun!
Question: Can you talk about what healthy foods you've found Australian children actually enjoy?
Lola Berry: The survey found that fruit and diary were the most loved food groups, so we know Aussie children really enjoy their fruits – apple was actually the most popular fruit, followed by bananas! On the diary side of things, we found children love all types of cheese and milk, with only a few having issues with yoghurt.
Question: Can you talk us through what is important to put in a lunchbox that can help fulfil the recommended dietary intakes for children?
Lola Berry: By adding colour to lunch boxes with different types of fruits and veggies you know you're getting a broad spectrum of nutrients because each coloured item contains a different plan chemical or "phytonutrient" so think real foods (unrefined in their most natural state and thing a broad variety, mix things up, sure they won't like everything but they will like some, I'm sure of it!
Question: What are the most disliked foods of kids aged 2-12?
Lola Berry: The four most disliked foods found in our survey were, in order of most disliked to least disliked: broccoli, cannellini beans, avocado and beef.
Question: Were you surprised that avocado, pumpkin and beef were in the most disliked foods list?
