The long and the short of it is, children trust their parents choices.

Adults know that sugar piles on the lbs but many do it regardless, right up to the point of becoming 'sugar sick'. Its no different to a smoking addiction; it doesn't matter how much a smoker hears about the perils of smoking, they will carry on regardless until they get a smoking related illness or they themselves decide to quit.

I don't think adults are aware of the hidden sugars in labelling, and packaging is very misleading, take ribena most think that's ok because it's tageted to toddlers and it's all cute with little blackcurrants having fun on the bottle... it's rammed with sugar!
