The results of a study into what 10,000 primary school children, that is, children five to eleven, ate in a day shocked the researchers. They believe it shows that children’s diets are getting worse and that this might cause health problems in the future. It shows that 49 per cent of the children had eaten chips, which had been cooked in oil. Less than half had eaten a vegetable or a piece of fruit in the last 24 hours and, most shockingly, only one in ten children had eaten fish. As Dr. G. Bennett, the author of the study, concluded (2006, p. 191) ‘Poor eating habits in early childhood can lead to health problems in later life. It is therefore essential to ensure that children eat properly.’
