It is quite possibly true. Note it is about malnutrition and not starvation. So people eating possibly not enough but certainly the wrong things. The right things being too expensive.

Also to note: One of the problems identified is rickets which is caused by a vitamin D deficiency. The free source of vitamin D is sunshine and this may point to people isolating themselves (Covid effect??) and staying indoors as much as possible.

All they need to do is add vitamins C and D to crisps. Problem solved.

That treatment for malnutrition is against the forum rules?🤣

Just walk down any U.K. High St and the diet problem is apparent. Too much junk food and it is not an affordability issue. Plus too many kids stuck indoors in front of screens rather than outside playing cricket

Plus too many kids stuck indoors in front of screens rather than outside playing cricket Don't be so certain of that. By the time you have added in the cost of powering an oven or hob, let alone the purchase cost, some of the cheaper high street fast food is actually not as expensive as you might imagine. Of course nutritionally the food is crap but it is tasty courtesy of the salt, sugar and fats.

As it's at least 30 or 40 years since schools stopped teaching kids how to cook, is it surprising that several generations have come to rely on ready-meals and take-aways? They're not cheap and they're a nutritional disaster.

I was never taught to cook at school but apart from an occasional Chinese or even more occasional fish and chips (mainly because there was none near where we lived) I have manage to avoid life in the "made for you" lane.

What is not taught at school (correct me if I'm wrong) is parenting in which cooking should be in that curriculum. Why is this?

Not everyone becomes a parent? But everyone needs to eat.
