Sweet tooth may be satisfied with fruits

Interesting. Short version: If you like sweets, you probably like fruit more than vegetables.

From Yahoo:
"The study published in the journal Appetite found people who eat candy, cakes and other sweet snacks eat more fruit than people who prefer salty snacks like nuts and chips."

Wansink said parents and public health officials could use this information to encourage the phase-in of more fruits among kids and other people with a sweet tooth."


Now if I could only figure out why the study was done by a marketing professor (Cornell's Brian Wansin).....
