Associate Professor in Nutritian and Dietics at the University of Newcastle, Clare Collins, is also an accredited practitioner and she agrees severe child obesity is a major issue in Australia and it is something that desperately needs to be addressed. The fact is that while the child is young the parents are the ones giving them the majority of the meals they chose the food thats in the cabords, thats eaten at breakfeast, lunch and dinner. A happy meal cost the same amount as a loaf of bread, and the bread lasts longer and is healthy, doesnt take a geneous to figure out which one to buy. The government needs to invest in real education for parents (and even people without chidlren who are not overweight) so that they know how to practice good nutrition at home and do not have problems saying ‘no’ to their children when they want the wrong foods.
