Kelloggs
In 2005 Jane DeVille-Almond was on the panel for the Kelloggs 'family health study' titled 'Breaking Down Barriers: Examining health promoting behaviour in the family'[3].
The study included specific objectives:
- To explore current attitudes towards the health benefits of food & healthy eating
- To identify the triggers and barriers to healthy eating
- To explore knowledge and understanding of the benefits of consuming breakfast
- To explore attitudes and behaviours towards breakfast and cereal.
A large part of the study focused on what influences children and where they learn their eating habits (for example through parents school TV etc). The report states that ‘In all children, those not having cereal for breakfast are significantly more likely to snack mid-morning’ which the report then indicates as being more likely to lead to obesity.
