    Cooking a cheap healthy meal is doable every night. I don’t see how we can blame working parents? I think as the new generations have come in less people are able too cook a proper meal. It’s become too easy to feed them and us with unhealthy ready meals, snacks and take aways but a good cheap meal might only take 30mins to cook! Quicker than getting a take away delivered.

    So nothing to do with junk food being so cheap compared to healthy food. Also nothing to do with less and less safe places for kids to go and play, coupled with the ease of access to games consoles/TVs and no real reason to “go out and play” due to aforementioned safe play places and alternatives.

    I’ve not read the (scientific) paper but this is poor reporting from The Times, sensationalist in fact, which surprises me.
