Spartacus I disagree. Children are told from a young age in schools what's healthy and what isn't. I remember learning about that in school. Things have changed a lot since then. It's probably a higher priority on the curriculum than when I was younger. 100% of smokers on this island know that smoking is bad. People still start. I'd bet that the same thing applies to unhealthy food and drink. I agree that Parents should take more responsibility for their children's diets. Again though this isn't something that always lies with the parents. I know of people who are severely obese, their siblings however are a normal weight. The children in these cases were brought up exactly the same way. Once children start getting pocket money they can buy unhealthy snacks. This is part of the problem. Ed, the fact that they sell fizzy drinks in Sixth Form is ridiculous. The same thing goes for the College of Further Education. They also sell coffee from a vending machine. One of my friends couldn't function properly until he had his strong morning coffee full of sugar. It's more difficult to give these things up once you're addicted. When you're addicted to sugar/caffeine, you need it just to feel normal. It's more serious and more difficult to give up than people might think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21423499
