Welsh not eating fruit and vegetables

Many primary school children in Wales still prefer not to eat fruit and vegetables despite better availability in school lunches, a report by the Food Standards Agency Wales has found. It said the number of primary schools in Wales offering three or more types of vegetables rose to 18 per cent of schools in 2002 compared to only 8 per cent in 2001. Steve Wearne, director of FSA Wales, said the study 'underlines the need for continued action to help children choose a healthy diet'.
