Whats in your childs lunchbox?

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

The school lunch crisis was first brought to the public eye when Jamie Oliver revealed the shocking state of children's diets in his 2005 television series. A year on and Jamie is back in the classroom with the problem seeming to be no better as shocking new research reveals the high level of sugar in our nations children.

The research, conducted by the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of Young People, shows that the average British boy eats the equivalent of 21 teaspoons of sugar a day, while girls consume an amount equal to 17 teaspoons of sugar. On average two thirds of all the sugars in our childrens diets comes from sweets, cakes, fruit juices etc.

There is no question that the nations childrens diets drastically need to be improved and quickly. However the question is how? How easy is it to introduce healthy food into your childs diet? A very simple step such as having an apple a day as an alternative to other sugary foods provides your child with important nutrients that can assist with well-being and helping to prevent illness.
