Kids in Britain are eating badly. And no it’s not just some kids, it’s most kids.
Just look at the stats from The National Diet and Nutrition Survey. It surveyed 2,672 young people 4-18 and found that; 96% of children do not get enough fruit and vegetables, 92% consume more saturated fat than is recommended, 86% consume too much sugar and 72% consume too much salt.
Healthy eating is something we need to learn in order to thrive. But if children don’t learn properly that what you eat has a direct and immediate impact on you physically and mentally, then they can’t make informed choices about food when they get older.
What do you think? Should healthy eating be taught in schools?
