Recent research has shown that children in the UK are now considered as fat as those in America. The reasons are fairly obvious considering what kids love to consume and all with their parents’ consent and participation.

Why is healthy food more expensive?

Did you know that parents who are ex-hausted by their active new-borns who do not fall asleep when their parents need them to, are now consciously feeding their babies spoonsful of butter? They claim that their baby sleeps through the night after eating it. But doctors have warned that parents are not doing their babies any favours in the long run. Butter is good, in moderation, and most doctors recom-mend that the amount of butter an adult should consume is about a spoonful or less. This is for grown adults who weigh 20 or more times the baby. Imagine a baby being fed an adult dose of a highly fatty thick oil.

It is a very likely that the butter is putting the baby to sleep, much like turkey does to adults at Christmas, but it’s very irresponsible to feed a baby such a fatty substance, setting him up for obesity in later life.
