Question:

Why do kids love spaghetti, burgers and ice cream?


Answers:
Carbs and sugar and salt. It's addicitve :)

Beacause they appear in most cartoons and are strongly advertised during kids show hours!

They are FUN FOODS.
Burgers are fun & easy to eat, Spaghetti is fun to eat & mild enough tasting & Ice Cream is just good tasting.

the messier it is ,the more kids like it

its the sugar believe it or not there is sugar in spaghetti sauce that you buy in the store and burgers its the grease...fortuanately my son doesn't like hamburgers or ketchup which has sugar too by the way....the food industries make foods appealing to kids so they can sell their products

Its like appetizer to kids. Kids normally have this lose of appetite problem.

Because easy to eat, taystee. Looks good.

not just kids, i love all these foods too and you forgot one really big one all or all kids I've encountered anyway, PIZZA - but i couldn't tell you for sure why they love them cuz I don't know. Possibly becuz they see alot of advertising for these foods on tv - just a guess tho :)

I love them as a kid and now I still love them as an adult. It's good fast food.

Taste buds change and food preferences change too according to age. You don't often see kids craving lobster, that is mostly an adult thing. When a kid loves lobster everyone is surprised. I think these foods satisfy the taste development at kids ages.

When I was a kid I was a problem eater and I liked foods that didn't feel funny in my mouth and didn't make noise when I chewed. Spaghetti fit the bill.

These used to be called comfort foods. When you eat foods that are high in carbohydrates, you get a full euphoric feeling that many people equate with satisfaction. This is especially true with children who eat too quickly and don't feel full in time to stop eating. For children who have to feed themselves, or get fed by someone for whom a meal is more of a distraction than a commitment, this is as good as it gets. Many processed foods substitute fat, sugar, and salt for genuine flavor and most American children simply do not know the difference.

salty and sugary! a kids best friend

Im not a kid and I still LOVE it... :)
