Health Update: Hi-tech children who cannot cook
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE AVERAGE child believes chips grow in bags, milk in bottles and sausages in packets, according to a survey of those aged seven to 15 reported in Health Visitor. The survey found that 93 per cent knew how to play computer games and 61 per cent how to programme a video- recorder, but only 28 per cent could bake a potato and barely half could boil an egg. Get Cooking] is a pack aimed at showing children how to make nutritious meals. Details from: National Food Alliance, 5-11 Worship Street, London EC2A 2BH.
