New Research Offers Hope for Parents of Picky Eaters
UCL/Weight Concern Press Release Embargo: 00.01 hours Eastern Standard Time/05.00 hours British Summer Time, Monday 30 September 2013 NEW RESEARCH OFFERS HOPE FOR PARENTS OF PICKY EATERS An intervention developed by UCL psychologists significantly increases consumption of fruit and vegetables commonly disliked among picky young children, new research has found. The research, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, showed that in a randomised controlled trial involving 450 young children, a new method of taste exposure significantly increased the proportion of children willing to try new foods and to continue eating them. In the trial of the method with over 200 families, toddlers showed a 61% increase in their liking of a specific vegetable, and the amount of the vegetable they were willing to eat trebled. A new pack called Tiny Tastes - based on this method - has been developed by UCL in partnership with Weight Concern, a charitable organisation set up by a group of academics and clinicians to combat the epidemic of obesity sweeping the UK by supporting and empowering people to live a healthy lifestyle. Mealtimes can frequently be a battle-ground for many parents, with up to 40 per cent of toddlers becoming picky eaters at some point during childhood, with more than a quarter refusing food every day. In additional, despite the importance of fruit and vegetables in a healthy diet, only 20 per cent of children actually eat the recommended five portions a day, according to the 2010 Health Survey for England. Vegetables are among children’s most disliked foods, and vegetable intake consistently falls short of dietary guidelines.

1 Philosophy at University College London
1 Philosophy at University College London: Part 1: From Jeremy Bentham to the Second World War Talk to Academic Staff Common Room Society, April 2006 Jonathan Wolff I’m quite often asked to give talks but I’m rarely asked to talk about the philosophy department. In fact I can only remember being asked to do this once before: to College Council very soon after Malcolm Grant was appointed as Provost. On that occasion I decided to tell a cautionary tale: painting a picture of the brilliance of the department in the late 1970s – second in the country only to the very much larger department at Oxford; how it was all ruined in the early 1980s by a wave of cost- cutting measures in which all the then internationally known members of the department left; and how it has taken twenty-five years to come close to recovery. This seemed to go down well on the day, but I can’t say that I won the longer term argument about the imprudence of cost-cutting. For this talk I was, at first, at a bit of a loss to know what to talk about. One possibility would be to try to describe the research that currently takes place in the department. But this idea didn’t appeal. Philosophers tend to work on their own, and so we don’t have research groups, as such, or collective projects. We have 15 members of the department, each engaged on their own research. Also, every time I try to summarize their work my colleagues tell me that I have misunderstood it.
