Concerning rise in body weight among Polish children – latest findings from the UNICEF report

Parents often try to shift responsibility to schools, especially school stores, where instead of fresh fruit juices, whole-grain sandwiches and oatmeal cookies dominate soft drinks, chips and sweets. On the other hand, parents are not left without guilt often in a hurry instead of preparing a good breakfast for their child and packing a tasty, healthy snack in their backpack, serving them a glass of high-fat milk with breakfast cereals and giving them a small pocket for their second breakfast.

Unfortunately, although a lean boy or girl won't have a problem with following all the instructions of the teachers, overweight children are doing much worse than their peers. WF students also often show a complete lack of understanding. They have the same demands on lean and fat children, who are exposed to bullying and being bullied by peer pressure.

"Which mothers have such children?" is the slogan of a social campaign run by the BOŚ foundation to raise awareness among Poles whether we want or not parents' eating habits have a direct impact on their children's food habits.
