Set a good example, parents urged
Parents who take their young children out shopping for food have been urged to teach them the importance of eating healthily by purchasing nutritious items themselves.
This follows the publication of research by the Dartmouth Medical School in the US, which found that even two-year-olds mimicked their parents' choices when it came to food.
Scientists made up a mock supermarket and allowed children to choose their own items. Those whose parents usually opted for sugary drinks and salty snacks mostly chose the same things themselves.
Dr Lisa Sutherland, head of the research team, said setting a good example early in the child's life could help them to keep up healthy eating for the rest of their lives.
"Children begin to assimilate and mimic their parents' food choices at a very young age, even before they are able to fully appreciate the implications of these choices," she pointed out.
