A major research project was held in the Bronx, New York, in 2003. One hundred and twenty parents and children started the program. The children participated in a study program learning how to read a food label and eat in a balanced manner. They learned to cook healthy foods, taste-tested the Nature's Mighty Bites™ ice cream and taste-tested the recipes in the "Powerful Foods for Powerful Minds and Bodies" handbook. The children were very willing, some hesitated in the beginning, but in time became eager participants. The children were given the opportunity to become Nature's Mighty Bites™ club members. When some of the children found out they needed their parents' permission to become members, they forged their parents signatures because it was so important for them to be able to join. They wrote letters to the principal asking for healthy food every day. As can be seen from their blood values, they were in dire need of nutritional help.
This study, as the one in Dorchester, was stopped, not because the children did not want to participate, but rather the school administration felt that food was not a priority in a child's life.
