do we really need to serve "X-ray carrots?"

Well, there are some intriguing studies that fun food  names for kids (and fancy names for adults) helps kids choose "healthy" options. So, when you call them "X-ray carrots" kids tend to choose them more often– when you call something "Salmon au beurre blanc" instead of "salmon with sauce," adults diners chose them more often.I don't know, it all feels so tiresome and manipulative somehow. The goal being, "how do we get kids to eat more carrots." If they tasted good and all the psychological overlay were gone, the kids would be more likely to  just eat the bleeping carrots. (See post on working too hard to create kid-friendly food...)M's school menu said, "Whole grain and chicken corn dogs" for today, and reminded me of a story a school-meal official told about corndogs. When they were labeled as "turkey" corndogs, vs just "corndogs" the kids left them sitting there, even though they were the SAME corn dogs.It's exhausting. We are obsessed with "nutrition" and label the foods that way, and kids don't chose it, or we have to spruce up the name to get kids to chose them. I haven't done much of any of that in my home. It's just food, and M seems to eat a great variety.Case in point, we were at our favorite Chines buffet, and M chose noodles, rice, green beans, broccoli, and her new discovery that she told her little friend about, "It's good, it's the brown chicken with the slime and sesame seeds!" Yummo! What's in a name!?What do you think?
