Two versions of a food education curriculum to promote fruits, vegetables, and breads, cereals, rice, and pasta were planned, implemented, and evaluated using a pre- and posttest for effect on third grade students' knowledge and behavioral intent. The versions differed by using either real food or two-dimensional representations of food. Students (n=225) were categorized by intervention type: food, nonfood, and control. Food intervention students had significantly higher knowledge and behavioral intent scores than non-food intervention and control students. Results were consistent with Piaget's theory of cognitive development and support using real food in nutrition education curricula
