^But children do get used to having food with lots of sauces, more sugar, more salt, more additives, etc- and yes, become used to them- and even to some extent 'addicted^ ‘
FGS could you add the word “some” occasionally?
Some children , some home-cooked food is bland “compared with a takeaway “ and so on, but no, lofty condemnation is a much easier resort.
Of course- research looks at averages and general trends, not individual cases.
And I did state 'By comparison, and for some people who are not keen or good at cooking. Not talking about you, or me for that matter.'.
So Medics and Government should never do research or try and influence factors which have huge influence on public health and costs. Smoking? No worries? Vaping, no concern. Obesity and diabetes, no worries. Nonsense.
Take-away is fun, fine, no worries- if occasional. If regular, it becomes an issue, for individuals and for all. Especially for children, who often do not have a decent balanced meal at school either.
No pearls, no looking down- just common sense.
