We Can't Go On Eating Like This

The Way Our Children Eat

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales ExtraLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales FM

Despite years of healthy eating messaging, Wales tops the table for childhood obesity in the UK. What has gone wrong with children’s relationship with food and why has the response of government at all levels been so ineffective? What would meaningful measures to address this look like. Sarah Dickins and Simon Wright visit a community primary school where the children are learning to cook and grow. They talk to parents, teachers and children about the challenges they face in accessing and affording healthy food. A ground-breaking project which is seeing cooking skills and food literacy brought into the classroom by cooks from independent hospitality is producing transformational results, but the quality of school lunches presents an ongoing challenge.
