I heard that animals and young humans will naturally choose a good diet. I
think it was Douglas Rushkoff who told me about a study in which a
young child was given unlimited candy, chocolate, sugar based foods,
vegetables, fruit etc. etc.
Naturally the kid choose the candy, the biscuits, the junk and sugary
foods - immediate gratification. But apparently the baby got tired of
eating too much crap and then spent a whole day gorgeing on broccoli and
cabbage and less immediatly satisfying food. Accordingly he got a balanced
diet naturally.
I do not know which study which he was refering too, does anyone have any
idea? Or is it an urban myth?
