CHICAGO—Adolescent's food perceptions and actual eating habits may not be as dire as many adults thought, according to a new survey from Mintel.
According to the survey two in five (42%) kids and teens reach for foods that give them more energy. Over a third (35%) purposefully eat foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients. Approximately a quarter tries to eat foods that are low in fat and 22% look for low-in-sugar foods.
