Answer To Your Fitness Questions" />Men Eat More Beef, Women Eat More Fruits And Vegetables
April 2, 2008
Men consumed more frozen pizzas, frozen hamburgers, and frozen Mexican dinners, but were much more likely to eat asparagus, Brussels, sprouts, peas and peanuts. They also seemed to prefer undercooked steaks and hamburgers, and runny eggs–foods that many health experts say carry a higher chance of contamination that will make you sick.
Women are more likely to eat raw alfalfa sprouts, which have been associated with food poisoning in the past 15 years.
Odd findings such as why Men eat more asparagus than women could not be explained by the researchers performing the study, but the survey may be helpful to health educators better target public health messages about healthy eating.

Got something to say?
Deni,
There is no doubt that a critical underpinning of a healthy diet is significant consumption of vegetables and fruit. Unfortunately, many adults (particularly men) do not like these fine foods - so we must make sure kids don’t develop these attitudes. Parents and teachers interested in getting kids to develop friendly feelings towards fruits and vegetables should take a look at a new book called “The ABC’s of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond.” Out only a few months and already being bought in quantity for class use. Suited for kids of all ages as it is two books in one – children first learn their alphabet through produce poems and then go on to more mature activities. It is coauthored by best-selling food writer David Goldbeck (me) and Jim Henson writer Steve Charney. You can learn more at HealthyHighways.com
David,
What a great idea for a book. Your absolutely right! We must create healthy lifestyles within our children while they are young towards which types of foods they should eat, especially their fruits and vegetables.
