Abstract

The goal of this study was to explore attitudes and habits of Serbian preschool children to consumption of meat and fish. Altogether, 60 preschool children from 5 to 7 years old participated in this study. The results showed that 100% of preschool children eat meat and fish. Results showed that 75% of respondents consumed meat once a day. Data analysis of fish consumption frequency showed that participants consumed fish once a week (75%). The most frequently consumed meat was poultry. Preschool children preferred river fish in their diet over sea fish. Also, parental influence in this childhood period is significant.
