It has to be a balanced diet for our children.
There are days when my children will take, what will be seen as, an unhealthy packed lunch to school but on other days they have an extremely healthy one.
Take aways are ok but not all of the time...
I bake and cook a lot with the help of my children and they love it, I feel sorry for kids that are sat in front of the telly all of the time and fed junk.... it's not their fault it's down to the parents! they need telling what's what and this is what Jamie is trying to do...3 cheers for Jamie.
As for the mothers stuffing fish and chips through the school railings... take their children away from them and give them to someone who will love, care for and nurture them.

Jamie is right when he says primary school children should be encouraged to take an interest in food. That's when they are most receptive. By the time they are secondary age, it will be too late.

Both my sons (aged 6 and 9) are interested in food, they ask what I'm cooking and like to watch and help. I get a great big cuddle when I make their favourites - veggie soup, spag bol, matzoh ball soup and gefilte fish.

We go to the farm shop and look at the food growing in the fields. They select their own pumpkins and squash from the field, and pick the runner beans they grow in our garden. Simple things.

Thats fine for country folk, but some poor inner city kids don't ever see "proper food" and how it grows.
Well done you for how you have taught your children the difference between healthy and unhealthy food
