Youth consume well below the recommended minimum of five fruit and vegetable (FV)servings per day (Baranowski). With nearly 3m children overweight in the UK and 1.5m ofthese obese (National Child Measurement Programme), finding ways to help youth consumemore FV will help decrease their risk of developing adult obesity and diabetes. 92% ofchildren consume more saturated fat than recommended, 86% too much sugar, 72% too muchsalt and 96% do not get enough FV (National Diet and Nutrition). Food related ill health isresponsible for ~10% of morbidity and mortality in the UK, 10% lost DALYS and costs theNHS about £6 bn annually. Children and adolescent begin to gain autonomy over choosingthe food they eat, yet may not have adequate information to make informed choices. Seriousvideo games offer new opportunities for promoting health related diet change among children.Food Dudes will develop an active video game (AVG) to deliver behaviour change in diet inan engaging and accessible format.

年轻人每天摄入的水果和蔬菜（FV）远远低于建议的最低摄入量5份（Baranowski）。英国有近300万儿童超重，其中150万儿童肥胖（国家儿童测量计划），找到帮助青少年消费更多FV的方法将有助于降低他们患成人肥胖和糖尿病的风险。92%的儿童摄入的饱和脂肪超过推荐量，86%的儿童摄入过多的糖，72%的儿童摄入过多的盐，96%的儿童摄入的FV不足（国家饮食和营养）。在英国，与食物相关的疾病造成了约10%的发病率和死亡率，10%的DALYS损失，每年花费nhs约60亿英镑。儿童和青少年开始在选择食物方面获得自主权，但可能没有足够的信息来做出明智的选择。严肃的电子游戏为促进儿童健康饮食改变提供了新的机会。Food Dudes将开发一款活跃的视频游戏（AVG），以一种吸引人且易于理解的形式来改变饮食行为。
