Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine how consumption of a snack food at a first course affects the hedonic ratings of that snack food compared to other foods, and how it affects intake of a second course. The results will have implications for guidance about the provision of snacks for preschool children and may help in identifying strategies for the prevention of obesity in children.
