"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent nearly $1.5 million studying how infants think about food.The project, "Infants' and Children's Reasoning About Foods," is being conducted by the University of Chicago and so far has determined that young children would rather not eat food that someone has licked or sneezed on.
...The premise for the study is that there is a dearth of research about how babies think about eating.
...The researchers characterize infants as having "limited knowledge in the food domain."
Children aged three to six years old are "more knowledgeable than infants and toddlers about foods" but are "notoriously picky eaters."
