The UK has one of the lowest fruit and vegetable intakes in Europe. As a consequence, Britain now has one of the worst heart disease records in the world, and other diet-related health problems such as obesity are also on the increase. Children, in particular, are reluctant to eat fruit and vegetables and it is the aim of the present Government to increase children’s consumption of these foods.

The Food Dude Programme, developed by psychologists at Bangor University, is an initiative to encourage and maintain healthy eating habits in children.

This site is designed to provide information about the Food Dude Programme, and other research conducted by the Bangor Food and Activity Research Unit (BFARU) at the School of Psychology, Bangor University, UK.
