Research Finds Children Are Bending The Rules To Avoid Healthy School Food And That They Are 'drowning' In Fast Food Outlets

Who could have seen this coming?

FitnessWatch readers. That's who.

"A study from experts at City University London has found that children in Tower Hamlets are regularly ignoring school healthy eating initiatives to binge on fast food on the way to and from school - some even choose to skip lunch to eat fast food at the end of the day. The research also examined the prevalence of fast food outlets in the borough and found that 97% of households lie within a ten-minute walk from a convenience food seller and that in some areas there are more fast food outlets than shops."

Which is why, for years, we have advocated for Gram Shop Acts, "student-sized" meals, etc.

Help the kids.
