To be honest when I consider the complaints I used to hear and read back in the 80s about middle class parents feeding their smaller off spring with skimmed milk,low fat spreads and high fibre diets which was completely wrong for developing tots, I'm not surprised either.

But then they didn't know lots of things like not to give aspirin to children under the age of 14 because of the possibility of Reye's Syndrome.Indeed I bet there are still parents today who know nothing of it.

Education must be the key and teaching children as well as parents about nutrition should be part of the school curriculum.Unfortunately it's been some while since 'cooking' was part of the school timetable.I'm beginning to think they should reconsider childcare as part of the curriculum as well.
