Interviewer: Our parents want to know how to encourage and attract children to healthy nutritious diet from the junk food trap?
Nutritionist: Well, children’s love for junk food is not children’s fault, parents are responsible for it! They fail to instill in their children the value and taste for healthy diet. When they allow their children to eat junk food, they compromise with their health. They should not allow then to eat junk food in the first place.

A healthy diet is a diet that has all the required amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, etc. in it.
