A Food Standards Agency study shows teenage girls eat more unhealthily than any other
group in the population – a government research revealed this week. The study wanted to
discover what the nation is eating. The results reveal that despite million-pound government
initiatives to encourage us all to eat more healthily, obesity levels in the UK are broadly
5 unchanged from a decade ago.
The research was commissioned by the government’s food watchdog, the Food Standards
Agency (FSA), which said it was worried about girls between 11 and 18 failing to eat enough
foods essential for growth and good health.
When they did eat, they consumed food and drink high in sugar and fat such as processed
10 foods, sweets, chocolate and fizzy drinks, the FSA said, and failed to eat enough with important
nutrients such as iron and calcium – found in leafy green vegetables and dairy products –
which are essential for strong bones and to prevent anaemia. The survey found that among
those of secondary school age, 46% were failing to get the minimum recommended amount of
iron or magnesium, and fewer than one in 10 (7%) were eating the minimum recommended
15 five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
Dr Alison Tedstone, the FSA’s head of nutritional science, said the issue was “an area of
concern” and added: “Broadly, teenage girls particularly don’t eat enough. Overall they are a
group of the population
whose diets are poor.
20 Young children’s diets
are generally OK, adults
generally are a similar
picture, adolescents
generally are poor. That’s
25 been the picture for a
number of years.” The
government reacted
yesterday and said that it
will ban all fast food,
30 chocolates and fizzy
drinks in British schools.
