ds(27mths) is veggie, eats lots fruit, veg, some dairy. He has always had "toddler bowel" ie never had a hard poo, just 1 or 2 v soft ones a day. I have been giving him white bread as i thought he'd had enough roughage to deal with, but have recently heard that white bread is really bad for us and that there was a programme on tv recently showing this. Can anyone give me some advice?

The Food Standards Agency official definition of 'low fat' is something that contains 3 per cent or less fat. So the Tescos and Hovis loaves are officially low fat. (Manufacturers get around this 3 per cent rule by calling products 'lite' or 'lower in fat' which have no legal definition).
Would imagine the reason the Warburtons loaf is higher in fat is that it contains added omega 3 oils ? these are 'good fats' that we are supposed to eat in preference to 'bad fats' (saturated fats such as animal fat and hydrogenated vegetable oil).
Most British people eat a lot of omega-six and not enough omega-three. Omega three is important for your heart and brain; that's why dieticians bang on about oily fish.
