It's not just lack of play/exercise it's poor diet - am sure most of you saw Jamie Oliver's School Dinners recently.


He proved that a change in diet at school has a real affect on childrens energy levels, concentration and weight.


It's so easy to blame lack of time and money for providing children with convenience foods but i'm a single mum and have worked full time and i actually found it cheaper and easier to give tasha fresh food and proper cooked meals with fish and chips once a week as a treat.


It's very hard when your faced with a child that will only eat nuggets n chips or burger n chips etc... cos you worry that something is better than nothing but children need to be re-educated at home as well as school about what's good for them in the long run.


I mean seeing 6month old in a supermarket covered in chocolate isn't a pleasant site and if they start on sweets etc... at such an early age is it any wander that they crave sugar loaded things later on or a 1yr old eatinga mcdonalds because it was easier to get one on the way home than to make something when you got in.


Everything  these days is about convenience - but if it risks out children is convenience worth it????
