First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether Eatable Alphabet cards—a fun, child-friendly nutrition tool—can help kids ages 2 to 10 with overweight or obesity eat more fruits and vegetables. About 160 children in a weight management program will use the cards, and parents will report changes in their child's eating habits. The goal is to see if this simple tool can improve nutrition and support healthier weights.
