Curious To Know About Food Choices Made By Children Without Adult Supervision. Any Articles?

is there a study or article I can find that has been done on the choices children make in ther foods. when not guided by adults. I have been aware at an early age, if children are a bit flat or coming down with something. they choose foods that will benefit them nutritionally. I guess the example of pregnant women and there cravings can show what this is I mean. but as children are not aware of nutritional value, im looking for something that may indicate that. But then also some pregnant women are also unaware . but there life style choices are already in place. unconcious Mind and body connection???

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different articles that look at the food choices that are made by children under different circumstances.
Some of these are: (1) Children eating attitude and behaviour by Rachel Brown
(2) Children food consumption during tv viewing by Donna Matheson
(3) Restricting access to palatable foods affects children behavioural response to food selection by JO Fisher- this article actually found that restriction actually increases the child's desire to use the restricted food.

Google scholarly articles lists a number of other articles that you may wish to explore regarding this topic

I hope this helps
