Abstract: The primary purposes of the study were: (a) to determine which vegetables from a selected group of raw and cooked vegetables twenty-four preschool children selected to eat; (b) to determine the apparent amount of vegetables selected and the apparent amount of vegetables consumed by twenty-four preschool children; and (c) to determine the relationship which existed between the order of presentation of the vegetables and the amount of vegetables selected or consumed by the children. Subjects for the study were the twenty-four three and four year old children enrolled in the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Nursery School during the 1966-67 school year. A comprehensive study of foods selected and consumed by nursery school children was conducted for twenty consecutive school days. The children entered die dining room in random order each day and selected their lunch from the foods that had been randomly arranged in groups of raw vegetables, cooked vegetables, meats and meat substitutes, and desserts.
