We have found the same trend in Europe, and especially in the UK. We have made changes at school level in meals provided at lunch time, but the saddest thing is that this is often without the parents encouragement or support. This means that school children believe that eating good food in school is an unnatural act, and some parents have been taking orders for fast food at the school gates. It is only with continual education and encouragement of children to exercise regularly and enjoy it, will fitness become the norm rather than the exception.
