v anglickém jazyce This bachelor thesis deals with the consumption of fruit and vegetables in children who attend elementary school in Milovice, specifically a group of pupils from 3rd to 5th grade was observed. As a class teacher, I have been watching the attitude of pupils toward fruit and vegetable consumption, as well as their eating habits, and I have noticed the low popularity of these foods, poor eating habits and an alarming number of children struggling with obesity. Although the school system is striving to educate pupils on healthy eating and healthy lifestyle, it is important to also educate parents of these children, who provide most food and manage children's leisure time. In the theoretical part of my thesis, I focus on fruits and vegetables as the basis of a healthy diet, substances present in these foods and risks resulting from insufficient amounts of these substances in the body. The practical part examines the popularity of fruit and vegetables among pupils, their preferences and the share of these foods in their diet. Keywords: Fruit and vegetables consumption, healthy diet, diet, vitamins, calcium, younger school age.
