Most children's diets are "sub-optimal" in nutritional terms - providing an excess of sugar and artificial additives and an unhealthy balance of fats, and lacking in dietary fibre and essential brain nutrients.
What is still largely ignored is the fact that this matters not just for their physical health but also for their mental health and wellbeing.
