Closed petition Make nutrition, health and wellbeing part of the national curriculum.

Closed on 1 March 2021

Obesity related poor health has never been higher. It is essential we teach children from pre school upwards the importance of healthy eating, nutrition & healthy living. Poor diet not only affects weight, physical health but also mental health. Both need urgent attention & education.

Health, nutrition & wellbeing need to be part of the school curriculum from pre school upwards. This needs to be a key subject and taught across every school. Change will never happen unless we educate children & the next generation. The only way to change the ever growing obesity issue (leading to a whole host of health issues from diabetes to heart disease) is change & education. Education being the key. If not this will continue to grow & the issues will continue to escalate.
