Re: Rickets making a comeback.

Having seen some of the Jamie Oliver shows lately, though I'm not sure if they paint a true picture or not but it is shocking that the level of ignorance when it comes to diet. Kids eating kebabs, left over take aways for breakfast, won't eat fresh food because it doesn't look like a chicken nugget it is quite shocking.

As for looking in other people's shopping trolleys as mentioned, I do have a bit of a habit of checking them out and Maggy is right on it, the lack of fresh food and veg compared to the frozen ready meals, packets of quick and easy meals seems to be the main. I actually feel like the odd man out sometimes when I put our fresh veg and ingredients on the checkout and again seeing the junk piled in front and behind by other people I'm forever raising my eyebrows.

I'm not sure if parents don't have the time to cook, or the know how, or the money for fresh food (yet they don't skimp on buying the junk), so my opinion is that parents just can't be bothered, or it's just anything for an easier life but it is sad.

I see that the 'Sun' paper is blaming 'game addicts' which is half right, but still comical.
