In recent years there has been an increasing focus on improving childrens diet as part of an overall health strategy. According to the National Nutrition & Dietary Survey of young people aged 4 to 18 years, published in 2000, there is evidence that young people in the UK are consuming far too much saturated fat, salt, sugar, & far too few fruits & vegetables. The National Heart Forum (NHF) has consistently identified food marketing to children as a fundamental issue contributing to the problems of poor diet among the children. The NHF states, that a particular worrying phenomenon could be described as the normalisationof snack & occasional foods into the mainstream diet of children. Sales data analysis, by investment analysts JP Morgan, shows that snack consumption has risen by 240% in the past 20 years. Young children have different needs & require the right kinds of tasty, nutritious foods to encourage healthy growth as their bodies are developing faster than at any other time in their lives.
