Most Ghanaians find it hard to access healthy foods and the major causes are convenience, inaccessibility, ignorance, cost, time and reluctance to eat. Per our research we found out that unhealthy eating lifestyle mostly starts at a young age and then develops afterwards. Now, the solution to this based on the major causes mentioned is to address the eating lifestyle of a child by making healthy foods appealing to the five senses of children which are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Our proposed solution is to redefine how furits are presented to kids and to change how children eat.
