Children need good food diet
It is alarming that young mothers seem unable to cook these days and provide their children with a proper balanced diet. Either the children are painfully thin, or they are obese.
Either the children are painfully thin, and on what appears to be a starvation diet, or they are obese, having had too much sweet and fatty food, with no exercise.
All children, not only those needing to put on a little weight, need good home-made palatable soups, stews, unprocessed protein, stir fries, etc, a variety of vegetables and fruit, and mouth-watering puddings and cookies, and milk.
There is a mountain of cookery books out there on the market, as well as advice from reputable sources.
It's not a good idea to plaster your child's food with butter and jam and give him large quantities of chocolate and fried food: it will only make him sick.
And the mind boggles when you consider what might be minced up and put in some fish fingers and other weird processed dishes. Also, manufactured cakes and biscuits need checking to see if they contain hydrogenated fats, which have been proved to be not at all healthy for any of us.
It's a question of common sense!
