Healthy Eating Habits

While we all want a healthy diet for our children, how confident are you that you're doing a good job shaping your child’s eating habits?

Very confident. I read and understand all the labels and always buy and prepare fresh food.

Quite confident. Food labels are tricky but I have a good understanding and mainly buy and prepare fresh food.

Moderately confident. I do my best with food labels. We buy some takeaway meals but try to make healthy choices.

Less than confident. Life is busy and I tend to rely on packaged meals and takeaways supplemented by fresh fruit and vegetables.

Not at all confident. We have plenty of freezer meals, packets, tins and takeaways.
