I have battled with weight all my life. I live on my own and do not cook for myself. I eat in a carvery, buy a pizza or fast food or have a sandwich. There are families who are on the move 24 hours a day and seven days a week. How do we tell them they must cook and be health aware? Everyone is busy now, no matter what he or she does. I agree that families must be convinced of the need to eat healthily, but some parents simply do not get it. How do we make that happen?
