Social-environmental influences on children's diets: results from focus groups with African-, Euro- and Mexican-American children and their parents.

Children's fruits, juices, vegetables (FJV) and fat intake do not meet the recommended guidelines. Social and environmental influences are a problem with African, European and Mexican American students and parents of 4-6 years, as personal factors account for only a small part of the fluctuation of children's FJV consumption It is explored through focus group discussion. The problem includes the impact of social impact, availability, ease of access to children's FJV, and selection of low-fat foods. I did not notice the racial difference. There are various low-fat foods and fresh FJV (non-cut) at home, and older children are expected to prepare themselves by themselves. FJV that eats out twice a week or more is not a general restaurant choice. The students reported a model of parents (more mothers) and friends (usually at lunch). According to the report, there was a negative reaction to vegetables. Parents are reporting several ways of concern about children eating too much junk food and FJV deficiency, recognizing the external influences of children's foods and encouraging their children to eat FJV.
