:08:24. > :08:31.I did not meet anyone who admitted sending their child into school with
:08:32. > :08:35.their deal takeaway. There are government guidelines which outline
:08:36. > :08:39.all the food groups which should go into a packed lunch. Some of these
:08:40. > :08:44.could seem a bit daunting to do every day. The headteacher of
:08:45. > :08:48.another school I visited Saint, ideally, all the children would
:08:49. > :08:51.provide the hot news that the school provides, so that they would know
:08:52. > :08:59.they were getting the nutrition they required. It is a balancing act
:09:00. > :09:05.providing healthy food alongside food which your child will
:09:06. > :09:08.definitely eat. But the headteacher at the school believes the skills
:09:09. > :09:17.have been tipped for too far in the wrong direction. When the old happy
:09:18. > :09:24.meal, crisp sandwiches accompanied by a packet of crisps. Very few

:09:32. > :09:36.trying to educate people to avoid. He then said they were happy to be
:09:37. > :09:41.given advice and did try to pack healthy lunches. I think is
:09:42. > :09:49.important to do it as best as you can. How easy is it? It is not
:09:50. > :09:55.actually very easy. We ppm eight nutritional packed lunch for our
:09:56. > :10:01.children. We follow the same guidelines. Two years ago, sugary
:10:02. > :10:07.drinks were banned at the school. Headteacher is looking to improve
:10:08. > :10:14.the food, but says it is a sensitive area. There is a lot of peer
:10:15. > :10:20.pressure. You can imagine the pressure on parents to buy poor
:10:21. > :10:25.children perceive as being acceptable and cool with in the
:10:26. > :10:30.school context. There is a lot of issues at play. You want to bring
:10:31. > :10:38.your appearance alongside you to the school when you make these sort of
:10:39. > :10:43.changes. The message seems to get past the children. I like
:10:44. > :10:53.gymnastics, saw I try and eat healthily. I have here that if you
:10:54. > :11:00.eat a lot of broccoli, you have the huge beard when you grow up. The
:11:01. > :11:02.Commons health committee published a recent report saying the government
