Although many parents opt to cut up raw vegetables into bite size chunks, such as carrot sticks, in a bid to make them appear less daunting, a study found it often results in them eating less.
Scientists at Deakin University found an efficient way to increase children's daily vegetable consumption was actually to serve them whole.
Researchers discovered that children would eat more carrot when they were handed it whole as opposed to when it's diced.

Consumer expert Martin Lewis has confirmed that you are still entitled to your £6 a week tax break for working from home even if you spend some of the week in the office .
With workers increasingly heading back to the office part time , frequently for just a day or two a week , the news means you can still keep claiming the cash as if you were at home full time .
`` It 's confirmed this applies even if you 're only required to work from home part of the week , '' Martin Tweeted .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place to cover the increase in your bills that results from spending all your time at home , '' Martin wrote in his blog on MoneysavingExpert.com .
`` If your employer requires you to work at home , you can – and have always been able to – claim for increased costs due to working from home , eg , heating and electricity . ''
And the good news is you do n't need to work out exactly how much more it 's costing you .
`` Apportioning these costs is tough .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ terms , claim a rate of £6 a week .
You can claim more if your costs are higher , but it becomes a much more labour intensive process , '' Martin wrote .
To get it , there are two main ways .
`` If you normally do a self-assessment form , you can claim on it , '' Martin wrote .
`` Yet for most people , this will simply require filling in a P87 form . ''
Martin said you can do this online with a P87 form using your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a postal P87 form .
`` You 'll be asked for your employer 's name and PAYE reference ( which you can find on your payslip or P60 ) , and your job title , '' Martin said .
`` For postal P87s , you 'll also need your national insurance number . ''
He said the key part was the `` Using your home as an office '' section .
For the online form , Martin said it 's easiest to put £6 for each week spent at home in the `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ £0 in the `` amount paid to you by your employer '' section if they have n't boosted your wages .
If you 're claiming through the postal form , you need to add a `` Using your home as an office '' expense in the `` Other expenses '' section manually .
`` Once you 've submitted the claim , if you do it online you may hear back within a couple of weeks .
However , obviously if HMRC is under pressure it may take longer , '' Martin said .

You get the same weekly tax break for working from home whether you're doing it for one day a week or full time Martin Lewis has confirmed - and you can claim it without your boss needing to sign anything too

Coronavirus tests are to be 'prioritised ' as Matt Hancock admitted testing chaos would go on for weeks .

In one baffling anecdote , Twickenham MP Munira Wilson said her constituents could n't get a test when using their own postcode , but if they put in an Aberdeen postcode they could .
Mr Hancock did not explain the reason for the error - but urged the public not to `` game the system . ''
While he admitted there were `` operational challenges '' which the government was `` working hard to fix '' - he continued to blame the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : `` We 've seen a sharp rise in people coming forward for a test , including those who are not eligible .

`` The top priority is and always has been acute clinical care .

`` We 'll set out in full an updated prioritisation and I do not rule out further steps to make sure our tests are used according to those priorities . ''

Mr Hancock replied : `` We will be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of weeks . ''
A No10 spokesman could only promise more capacity “ in the coming weeks ” when a new lab opens in Leicestershire , processing 50,000 tests a day .
Asked if it would be this month or next month , he replied : “ As I say , it ’ s in the coming weeks ” .
Asked if there was any hope at all that the situation will improve before that lab opens , he replied : “ We ’ ll continue to target our capacity where we need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open new labs , we ’ ve increased the number of testing sites to 500 , we ’ ve announced £500m to pilot new tests to further boost capacity .
“ We will continue to work to new capacity and continue to make capacity available to those who need them.

Mr Hancock did not explain the reason for the error - but urged the public not to "game the system."

thedailymirror--2020-09-15--Britain hotter than Antigua at 31C with 12 days of sun in 'second summer'

Temperatures in Britain are hotter than in Antigua with a 'second summer ' starting now to bring 12 days of sunshine .
Tuesday nudged the hottest September 15 for almost 200 years , with 30.6C recorded - the record since Met Office records began in 1841 .
Even the northern parts of the country saw 25C as Hurricane Paulette pumps tropical air north .

The weather is the warmest it 's been for a month , since early August , after cool washouts spoilt the end of school holidays .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ daily for the rest of the week and into next week , with plenty of sunshine and dry skies for most .
Hurricane Paulette , churning into the mid-Atlantic , will suck up hot air towards Britain and strengthen a dry high pressure zone over the UK , BBC Weather said .
A 1,500 mile-wide 'Saharan spurt ' of hot air is making temperatures up to 11C hotter than the 20C average .
The Met Office forecast a warmer-than-normal three months through autumn , from September to November .
A Met Office forecaster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sunshine this week and dry weather with sunny spells is likely to continue through next week .
“ Above-average temperatures are likely for many and it could be very warm in the South.
” Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna added : “ Decent spells of fine weather are expected in the rest of September.
” The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said : “ Warm and sunny weather ahead will feel like a second summer after wet and windy conditions dogged the second half of school holidays.
” Ex-BBC and Met Office forecaster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We 'll inevitably hear the phrase ‘ Indian Summer . '
” BBC Weather said : “ Strong high pressure ahead is partly due to warm air from Paulette.
” But the heat is delaying trains - as some train speeds were halved as rails risk buckling .
Network Rail tweeted : “ Due to hot weather , a speed restriction is in place at Northampton .
Trains may be delayed.

UK weather: 31C Britain hotter than Antigua with 12 days of sun in 'second summer'
Temperatures in Britain are hotter than in Antigua with a 'second summer' starting now to bring 12 days of sunshine.
Tuesday nudged the hottest September 15 for almost 200 years, with 30.6C recorded - the record since Met Office records began in 1841.
Even the northern parts of the country saw 25C as Hurricane Paulette pumps tropical air north.
Meanwhile temperatures in Antigua were at a 29C.
The weather is the warmest it's been for a month, since early August, after cool washouts spoilt the end of school holidays.
The Met Office forecast 28C today then 24-25C daily for the rest of the week and into next week, with plenty of sunshine and dry skies for most.

Hurricane Paulette, churning into the mid-Atlantic, will suck up hot air towards Britain and strengthen a dry high pressure zone over the UK, BBC Weather said.
A 1,500 mile-wide 'Saharan spurt' of hot air is making temperatures up to 11C hotter than the 20C average.
The Met Office forecast a warmer-than-normal three months through autumn, from September to November.

A Met Office forecaster said: “There is plenty of sunshine this week and dry weather with sunny spells is likely to continue through next week.
“Above-average temperatures are likely for many and it could be very warm in the South.”
Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna added: “Decent spells of fine weather are expected in the rest of September.”

The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “Warm and sunny weather ahead will feel like a second summer after wet and windy conditions dogged the second half of school holidays.”
Ex-BBC and Met Office forecaster John Hammond of weathertrending said: “We'll inevitably hear the phrase ‘Indian Summer.'”
BBC Weather said: “Strong high pressure ahead is partly due to warm air from Paulette.”
But the heat is delaying trains - as some train speeds were halved as rails risk buckling.
