ffs i get they might not get enough calories if they eat 5 adult portions of f&v but i give dc small portios of a variety of foods healthy and non healthy.
next they will tell us they sleep too much !!!!

I think it's quite a simple message really - children are different to adults so what's healthy for us isn't for them. They are growing - and growing faster as babies and toddlers than at any other stage of life.

Food Standards Agency guidelines for healthy eating

Agree with Edam.

It's not new anyway. Young children need a diet higher in fat etc than adults and that advice hasn't changed in years (although agree if some nurseries aren't heeding this then it needs higlighting)
