Giggles
N’ Hugs (GIGL) Driving Children toward a Better Understanding of Nutrition
Recent
news has highlighted how obesity in children has doubled in the last three
decades. Children are being fed the wrong foods largely because they tend to
choose foods based upon taste and appearance rather than nutrition. In recent
weeks, a number of studies have come out highlighting the impact of our modern
world on children’s relationship with food.
A
recent article at Parent Herald (http://nnw.fm/U8fVw) entitled, “Children
Nutrition: Food Commercials Influence Children’s Choice of Food,” covers the
impact that mass media has on children and their eating habits. Dr. Amanda
Bruce and researchers from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the
University of Kansas Medical Center shine a light on the fact that children
choose for taste rather than nutrition. In association with this, according to
Dr. Bruce’s research, commercials have a significant and negative influence on
food choices children make.
But
how can we make children’s nutrition more important to them? News Medical
(http://nnw.fm/5hACN) recently announced the release of an innovative board
game that helps improve nutrition and health in young people. The game has been
developed by Focus Games Ltd. and Foodtalk CIC (pediatric dietitians) in order
to educate children aged 1 to 5 about health and nutrition. They aren’t the
only people fighting a growing battle for the health of children, however;
others are going toward a movement where nutrition and taste and fun and education
are unified.
Giggles
N’ Hugs (OTCQB: GIGL) came to light when Dorsa Parsi, co-founder of Giggles N’
Hugs restaurants, couldn’t find an eating establishment that catered to
children and adults equally. At most restaurants, aside from the lack of
children-sized utensils and chairs, children’s menus were often greasy and
unhealthy. She said: “I also hated the fact that all the ‘kid friendly’ foods
were made with artificial cheese or potatoes. Having a very picky eater, I came
up with very creative ways to have her get her veggies. I always pureed
cauliflower in her fettuccine alfredo and squash in her mac n’ cheese. I always
made homemade pizza with pureed spinach in her pizza sauce. She never knew she
ate her veggies every day, but going out to dinner meant NO veggies!”
Parsi
started Giggles N’ Hugs with the aim of providing a healthy restaurant that was
both child and adult friendly. The menu includes not only child-friendly meals
packed with goodness, teaching children how good taste and health are not
mutually exclusive, but also the opportunity for children to connect it all
with a fun place to play. Giggles N’ Hugs now has two locations with a
strategic expansion plan in place to expand to Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin
America, and the Middle East.
