Summary
This study looks at whether adding potatoes to meals can help young adults aged 18 to 25 enjoy and eat more non-starchy vegetables like broccoli or carrots. Participants will eat five different lunch meals and rate how much they like the vegetables. The goal is to see if the amount and type of potato in a meal makes a difference in vegetable intake.
