I wonder how big a role culture plays. For example, here in Greece, most kids eat a lot of junk, whether their parents work or not. OTOH, in Denmark, people tend to be more concerned about what kind of food kids eat.
Like this stat:
"The study showed 37 percent of children overall primarily ate crisps or sweets and 41 percent primarily drank sweetened beverages between meals."
Being a Dane I am left wondering how, whether you work or not, you even get the idea of providing sweetened beverages and chips to preschoolers? Also, surely there must be a class element here.
