Having children who will eat almost anything is an amazing thing! Well done!

Today the guardian has an article on the importance of lots of fibre in the diet written by Jo Greening of the British Dietetic Association to help ensure your children grow up with much lower risks of heart disease and bowel cancer. theguardian.com/lifeandstyl...

Such things may not seem high on the agenda for your children but research on postmortems of children killed in car accidents show that by the age of 16 most of them already had the early signs of atherosclerosis. As with cancer, turning atherosclerosis into heart attacks, strokes, dementia will may take many years, but it is food habits we grow up with that are the primary contributors.
