FIGURE 1.

Number of preschool children who selected (▪) or did not select (□) some pieces of vegetables or fruit at snack time. On different occasions, the children were offered 3 single types of vegetables and a variety of all 3 types; similar offerings of fruit were made. Children were more likely to choose some pieces when a variety of types was offered than when a single type was offered (P < 0.0001, repeated-measures logistic regression). Because of occasional absences, the number of children at a given snack time was less than the total of 61 children in the study. Veg., vegetable.
