Abstract

Healthy diets are critical for the healthy growth and development of children.1 That said, the dietary behaviors of preschool children are generally poor. Only 50% of children aged 3–4 years eat vegetables daily, and approximately two-thirds eat fruit daily.2 In addition, almost 60% of the energy consumed by preschoolers in the US comes from ultraprocessed foods.
