Half of British parents have ‘given up’ trying to get their kids to eat their ‘five-a-day’

Half of British mums and dads have ‘given up’ trying to get their kids to eat their ‘five-a-day’, according to new research.

A poll of 2,000 parents with children up to age 10 also found 41 per cent ditched trying to get greens into their kids’ diets all together and were more concerned about ensuring they at all.

Twenty-nine per cent have lost patience trying to get their youngsters to eat a healthy diet, with one in five saying they had given up because they were tired or in a rush.
