Children Want to Eat Healthy

KidzEyes, a division of C&R Research in Chicago, conducted an online poll of 3,500 6-14 year-olds in August 2003 and a qualitative study of 400 more kids in October 2003. The results were presented at the Kid Power Conference in December. Some of the results of the research:
