It is promising for the IQs of the children in NCU kindergarten
since they have strong awareness of unhealthy foods.
On 23th of February,a piece of news in Taipei Times suggested
that too many unhealthy foods lower a child's IQ. In order to find
out whether unhealthy foods play a threatening role in children's
daily lives, I visited NCU kindergarten on 5th of March.

The content of the interview:
There are 18 children, who are 5 or 6
years old, joining this interview. 10 of
them often go out eating with their
parents. A boy mentioned his parents
took him to eat KFC and porridge;
another boy mentioned French fries
and hamburgers; a girl and a boy
mentioned ordinary meals. When I
asked," Do you guys like McDonald's?", 2
of them said," Yes!" and the rest said, "
NO!" Even more surprisingly, the children
in "NO" group said that McDonald's is junk
food. And then all the children said that
they seldom eat McDonald's. Later, I asked
them ," What do you usually eat for snacks?" Most of them mentioned fruits such as tomatoes, strawberries and pears.In the end, I asked them," Will you still want to eat unhealthy foods if I tell you that these foods make you stupid?" They all answered "NO!"

It is accepted that children cannot fully be avoided unhealthy foods in their daily lives. However, we still can make sure that the children in NCU kindergarten does not have to face mental crisis resulted from eating too many unhealthy foods. Because their parents realize seriousness of the crisis,and most importantly, so do these children!
