On average, primary school children in England have at least
three sugary snacks a day, Public Health England (PHE) found. This means that
the sugar they consume is three times more than the recommended maximum.
Children between the ages of 4 and 10 consume 51.2% of sugar
from unhealthy snacks. PHE has launched a campaign, Change4Life, to encourage
parents to look for healthier snacks of no more than 100 calories, and to limit
them to two a day. The campaign advises parents to give their children a
maximum of two snacks a day, with each containing no more than 100 calories.
The campaign will also offer parents special suggestions on a range of
healthier snacks—ones with 100 calories or fewer—at selected supermarkets, PHE
said.
PHE said it had also improved its app so that it could mark
the content of sugar, salt and fat in food and drinks. Dr Alison Tedstone told
the BBC she hoped the campaign would help parents to choose healthier snacks
for their children. “If you wander through a supermarket, you can see much more
goods being sold as snacks than ever before,” she said, “It's a common
phenomenon that kids' lunchboxes are full of snacks, leading to a lot of
calories for lunch. Our research shows that parents usually appreciate a rule
of thumb (经验法则).
However, they are surprised to know how much sugar their children are consuming
in snacks now.”
Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet, said, “The intake (摄入量) of sugar that kids are getting from
snacks and sugary drinks alone is pretty astonishing, and it can often be
difficult to distinguish which snacks are healthy and which are not. The rule
of thumb from Change4Life can help parents make their decision correctly and
wisely. ”
