We call on the government to make the teaching of nutrition and wellbeing a compulsory component of the national curriculum taught in primary and secondary schools.
More details
If the NHS is to be sustainable for future generations, it is essential our children learn about a healthy diet and lifestyle options. More than 60 percent of diseases treated by the NHS are the result of eating a poor diet of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs); chronic health problems such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and some cancers are the direct result of a poor lifestyle, which includes a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and stress.
