Easy enough to say, but hard when you're trying to get a 6-7 year old (what this article is about) to adopt that lifestyle - that's an age where they eat what they're being served. Given this is in the UK, part would be the school lunch - which is directed by things like cost and preparation time/effort (Jamie Oliver did a series about this) - and part is the parents that feed the kids.
