What will it take for people to understand the importance of diet?

Just watched ITV's Tonight on 3 teenagers who had a diet of fast food be totally transformed after 4 weeks of normal, well balanced diet.... yesterday it was Supersize me on C4 and today there was the report that more and more kids below 10 are obese... and my son's friend is already obese so are his mum and dad.... how terribly sad and yet I don't think his parents either get it or are keen to improve things. My son's friend was handing out breadsticks yesterday and this was his breakfast..... I am sure she sees nothing wromg with that....
Sorry had to rant...

Great thread. I agree junk food has alot to anwser for. I cut out allprocesed food and threw out all sweets biscuits you name it, went to an organic farm and bought eggs and 2 chickens with which I made avariets of dishes. I bought loadsof bottled water and milk and I felt better just for doing that. Dh did complain the freezer was empty...no pizza etc but I mademy own. I detest MD and all processed shit and you don't even have to be a genius in the kitchen to give kids a nutricious meal infact you don't even need to be able to cook. Raw carrot, bread, tune etc. Anyway just to say I am carrying on like this for ever....
