Happy family eating.

摘要

With the current high levels of obesity and evidence which indicates that simply supplying healthy eating information can not facilitate significant behaviour change,1 new methods of changing eating patterns need to be explored. It is considered particularly important to engage with parents of young children, since they have responsibility for establishing the eating habits of the next generation.There are many influences on families that lead to unhealthy lifestyles4 and so, in order to make positive changes to eating behaviours, the interventions must fit easily and enjoyably into everyday family life and avoid being onerous in terms of time and content.
