Great article, Nancy and I am with you all the way. My cousins grandchildren grew up on a farm in the Channel Islands.

Until they went to school they had never tasted junk food. The smell of chips (crisps) with their artificial flavours, nauseated them.

They're now teenagers so I don't know if they have moved over to ll of this, peer pressure being what it is, but they have had at least five years of not eating that stuff, and I know the food they have a home is still very, very healthy

The future for these kids is bleak to say the least.

At my last school one of the students used to say to me, well look at me, Mrs R, I only eat junk foor and I am skinny.

I talked to her abut reaching my age. would she still be skinny?

Would she still be healthy?

When she was 16 she went into hospital for day surgery on her wisdom teeth.

Three weeks later she left hospital, having overcome sepsis, but having come perilously close to death.

And that's the thing about healthy food. It enables us to fight infection, sepsis being one of them. Great article Nancy.
