This is connected with the extent of their cultivation of fruits and vegetables. It also appeared that this fact is strongly related to the age and to the extent of busyness of the garden plot users.

Dietary habits of younger school children
CHRTOVÁ, Libuše
The bachelor thesis is concerning dietary habits in young school-age children. There was set one major goal of the thesis, to find out more about dietary habits in young school-age children including basic recommended principles of healthy lifestyle - regular food intake, sufficient and balanced water intake, sufficient fruit and vegetables consumption, and regarding the fact that the subjects were school-age children, also sufficient intake of dairy products. Theoretical section explains terms, describes recommended dietary intake of nutrients in each stage of children´s development and contains food guide pyramid with all food groups and follows their satisfaction in children´s diet. There are also discussed topics as 1-day food intake pattern, visiting fast-food kiosks, and also quality and quantity of water intake. In the thesis are also listed preventive programs targeted on healthy eating in children taking place at basic schools under the sponsorship of Health, Agriculture, and School Ministries, and also of private organizations. To carry out practical section, there was chosen qualitative research method, method of low level interview, specifically semi-structured interview. Semi-structured interview was used in children at basic schools in Ceske Budejovice and at Lisov. The experimental group consisted of 6 participants, three boys and three girls from 7 to 11 years old. Each child was asked 10 basic questions and where necessary, I asked additional questions, to get more detailed information. Results showed that children of young school age have regular food intake with sometimes omitted breakfasts. Unfortunately, the compositions of daily meals do not meet the criteria of healthy eating. The half of respondents does not regularly eat for lunch two-course meal, i.e. soup and a main dish, and they also do not eat available fruit and vegetables with their lunch. The investigation also showed that most of the children do not have in snacks fruit or dairy products, but rather only pastries. From the participants´ answers is evident that half of respondents have sufficient intake of fluids qualitatively and quantitatively. Unfortunately, the other half of respondents do not drink enough fluids and also the composition is not adequate because of drinking only sweetened beverages. The positive finding was that no one of the experimental group indicated drinking some kind of stimulant beverages as for instance coffee, energy drinks, and cola drinks. Only one child out of all participants consumed recommended number of five pieces of fruit and vegetables. The intake of fruit was sufficient - at least two pieces a day, but it was also prevalent over vegetables intake, while recommendations suggest opposite ratio. No one of the participants has not eaten daily recommended amount of vegetables. The answers to the questions about milk and dairy products consumption demonstrated that most of respondents drink milk at least ones a day. No one´s intake met recommended daily amount of dairy products for children of this age, but the question is if the children really disliked dairy products or if that came of wrong dietary habits at home, or if I was inexperienced to interview children of this age. I also included two more questions that were not part of major investigative questions but seemed to me be important to have complete overview about dietary habits of each child. First question was about meat preference and the results showed that they all preferred chicken meat. No one was vegetarian and no one preferred fish meat. The second question was asking about visiting very popular fast foods. Results demonstrated that participants do not prefer this type of food. When I reviewed and compared results from my study with other studies concerning similar topic which was dietary habits in young school-age children we found similar results.
