Kids Who Watch Popeye Cartoons Eat More Vegetables 119

Posted by samzenpus from the I-yam-what-I-yam dept.
markmark57 writes "Popeye cartoons, tasting parties and junior cooking classes can help increase vegetable intake in kindergarten children, according to new research published in the journal Nutrition & Dietetics. Researchers at Mahidol University in Bangkok found the type and amount of vegetables children ate improved after they took part in a program using multimedia and role models to promote healthy food. Twenty six kindergarten children aged four to five participated in the eight-week study. The researchers recorded the kinds and amounts of fruit and vegetables eaten by the children before and after the program."

A book I warmly recommend reading is

Herding Cats: A Primer for Programmers Who Lead Programmers

(http://www.amazon.com/Herding-Cats-Primer-Programmers-Lead/dp/B001ULCL1Y)

IMHO the title says it all, it's funny and enlighten to read and gives a good introduction from the point of view of a programmer who slipt into PM. I especially enjoyed its categorization of programmers into different brands.
