Accymel....I think that I mentioned the activity issue in an earlier post......and we have had a subject like this before and I mentioned the role of cookery classes in schools.....teaching children to cook and letting them try out different ways of cooking and serving nourishing healthy food. I also think that when children have cooked something themselves they are much more likely to eat it. I also think that food labelling is a minefield......you choose something because it is low fat and find that the sugar content is astronomical......or you choose something that is low sugar and then read that the sweetener used in the food is reported to cause cancer. I have come to the conclusion that parents cannot win.
