An entire generation of children is "eating themselves sick" with a diet of fat and salt-saturated junk food that will lead to obesity and serious health problems in adulthood, nutritionists warned yesterday.
A forum of health and education professionals was told that urgent action was needed to correct the diets of the young or the nation risked creating a generation that was less healthy than those brought up during post-war rationing.
Research has found more than two-thirds of pre-school children eat an unhealthy diet heavily reliant on white bread, chips, crisps and sweets, according to research by the Institute of Child Health.
In older children, from five to 18 years, 55 per cent admit to not eating any leafy green vegetables – but one girl in every six from the same age bracket is on a diet.
