Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the food choices made by schoolchildren, depending on their body mass. In the study participated 75 girls and 49 boys aged 10–13, who were divided into groups characterized by various body mass index (BMI) in comparison with child growth standards. The children were asked about food products bought on their own. Among the most frequently bought foods were sweet products, but buying sweets was less commonly declared by those with proper body mass than by those with high and low BMI. High body mass children least commonly bought water, but simultaneously – most commonly chips, cold cuts and ready-to-cook meals. It was stated that food choices are associated with body mass. It was indicated that not only legal regulation of assortment of food products available in schools is needed, but education as well.
