Over the past 20 to 30 Years, freshly prepared, home cooking has gradually been replaced by commercial, ready-made alternatives. So much so that many children today are eating a diet that consists almost entirely of foods that have been prepared outside the home, from breakfast cereals, snacks to evening meals.

Most of these ready-made foods are made from poor quality ingredients, are low in nutrients, high in saturated fats, salt and sugar, bulked out with cheap fillers, colored, full of preservatives and flavored to mask the poor taste.
A survey was done on over 400 “child Friendly” foods and evidence was found that they contained on average 5 to 16 additives, some of which are known to cause Temper Tantrums, Lack of Concentration, Excessive Fidgeting, Interrupting, Hyperactivity and some children were found to be unable to sleep and also bed wetting in young children.
