Young Londoners on healthy eating
'We can make London a better place by having less fatty foods and fast foods like burgers, chips, pizzas and much more. They can cause obesity in young children, which causes a lot of problems like heart attack or diabetes.'

Hattia, age 10
'I would like someone to suggest to dinner ladies the healthy food they can serve us.'
Afua, age 7
'The school should get healthy food and if the children get healthy food when they grow up they will be strong and really healthy.'
Akshay
'I think that you should make healthy food for children. also I think you should give children a bigger choice, by ordering it a day before, and on Mondays you should order it on Friday. Lastly you should tell shop managers to put food prices further down. so you have less hungry and homeless people here.'
Craig
'Our school is a healthy school because we try different food from other countries that we don't think we would like but we liked the healthier food.'
