School meals are also a very big problem. Children in the UK eat in the primary schools for 7 years the same diet week after week, year after year: burgers, chips, fish fingers, baguettes, sausages, pizzas terribly sweet desserts, ice-creams, etc. Most school dinners are UPF and full of sugar. How is this even possible? Packed lunch is not a good alternative. The school meals are not healthy at all and nobody would do anything about.
I wish sometimes that people leading the conversation would stop find excuses for the people who make unhealthy choices...you have the choice between boiling a carrot at home for the baby or buy a readymade pouch. You have the choice to cook a piece of meat at home simply by adding salt and pepper and throwing it in the oven or frying it OR buying something ready made...Parents are always told they are time poor, and everything is tempting and complicated, but let's tell them that it doesn't have to be complicated. Cook simple food and include whole foods...avoid foods that have lists of ingredients...comfort and laziness are also part of the problem...and I think it's important to tell people that instead of just blaming governments and corporations...and by making better choices as a customer, change might come....
May I suggest you interview a child psychologist as well as nutritionist. It’s been my observation that children mimic their parents. More time needs to be spent eating together and foods need to be introduced much earlier.
Absolutely not true. We eat a lot of veg (more than 30 per week). Kids got the same in their early years. The younger one carried on - at age 6 he ate a whole cucumber in one setting. The older one turned 2-2.5, and from one day to another: nothing. No matter what I try. I still cook fresh so at least there’s no UPF in my house. But for one example: I have to sieve the gravy so no veg remains are there. Tried blitzing/ hiding - nothing. He is autistic. A big problem for a lot of families. Child psychologist? Yes, for sure. But in the name of many families I refuse to take the blame.
@@anitaraab1561 no one is blaming you. Obviously autistic children are an exception. I was addressing the general population of young families that are so busy that they have forgotten the basics of a life. I applaud you for your efforts. My daughter and grand granddaughters work with autistic children so I’m quite familiar. bravo and keep trying.
Thank you. But when one hears it all the time it does hurt, believe me. Then again, it seems you know what I’m talking about. And yes, a good child psychologist involved would be a great idea. (Especially when your child goes into a meltdown upon seeing a leaf of lettuce - happened). Thank you…

Have you seen the price of salmon?! I run a toddler group and like to provide healthy snacks (crudités, watermelon, cheese) .. our weekly shop for snacks was £56! I hate to think how people on universal credit could achieve a diet like you’re suggesting 😢
@@sarahbanks9450 salmon is full of mercury. It’s not the best choice. How about getting children used to eating hummus? How about nuts and whole plant based. It is so easy to fix basic foods.
Just grab a non ultra processed flatbread and some smoked salmon and avocado! You can pack a delightful meal that your child won’t eat. Just choose to live out of a broken car instead of paying for housing. Honestly, this was so out of touch from what is feasible for actual working parents that don’t have trust funds/investments/wealthy spouses.
@@marie-claudeashley8463 Yes. I make a Moroccan carrot mash (roasted carrots, cumin, a bit of onion, garlic, olive oil, parsley, red wine vinegar, pinch of salt) that everyone including kids thinks is fabulous and is seriously cheap. Bean dips, especially made with a little peanut butter or other nut butter, are also delicious. Lentil koftas ditto.
@@sarahsnowe thank you so much! I can’t wait to make the carrot mash. I’m going to look up that lentil dish because I love North African and Middle Eastern seasoning. I hope other people see your inspiration.

My kids won’t eat chickpeas yet…but here’s what we have managed so far in case others find it helpful: 1) got a breadmaker and gradually increased the wholemeal flour content in the recipe until it’s now 50:50 2) UPF extruded crisps are ‘weekend crisps’, sliced potato ones are ‘weekday crisps’, 3) we have ‘Sunday sundae’ family treat together and buy ice-cream without emulsifiers 4) we make homemade versions of things they like eating out like burgers, pizzas, nuggets and 5) if they tell us they don’t like it, they have to add the word ‘yet’ to the end of the sentence. Our 11 year old watched the brilliant Chris Van Tulleken Royal Institute Lecture (1hr) and now makes better choices.
Little will change until advertisers and manufacturers are held to account. Mere fines won't cut it: custodial sentences, together with a lifetime ban from the food industry, for those who have proactively gone all out to ruin people's health for profit.
Budget 2024 - tax advertising - tax ultra-processed food Advertising cons us into buying crap we do not want. It is destroying our health, destroying the planet.
You are perfectly right, fines is just a cost of doing business they will be happy to pay. Big Pharma have paid billions in fines over many decades and than never enticed them to change their disgusting practices.
I had the self efficacy 20 years ago not feeding my children with junk food. Just bought unprocessed ingredients, baked my own bread, still do it. I think the key to children eating a varied diet is role modelling. Always Eat together, never cooked separately just for the children, role modelled enjoying food and the alternative option was also whole food / fruit. Never had any fuss about eating and they all turned out to be great health focused cooks cooking from scratch. Always had school dinners thanks to Jamie Oliver’s attempt to modernise school dinners. If pieces of sandwiches and fruit the only option when hungry it is normal to reach for that when they were hungry. Never bought biscuits or chips or cereals or ready meals, made our on pizza, pancakes, muffins that are super quick to make and even the children learned to do it,
I thought this was one of the least helpful Zoe episodes I've listened to. I don't need advice from a nutritionist. I follow Zoe already, I'm well informed about what a good diet looks like. I need advice from a child psychologist on how actually get my child to eat the stuff I make. My little girl is 2, last night I made a healthy beef and vegetable stew with sourdough rye bread. My little girl said "I don't want this, yucky! I want cottage pie" (as in the Heinz ready meal that her grandma gives her), and she just got up and left without even tasting it. This morning I made an omelette for breakfast with some left over veggies and cheese. Again, she didn't even taste it saying "I don't want this". Every single meal this happens, unless the thing in front of her is pizza, chips, fish fingers, beans or chicken nuggets (at least she will eat fruit). It's frustrating and exhausting. I've ended up buying the least worst option of the things she doesn't like (e.g. products with more whole ingredients and without emulsifiers or modified starches etc) and sometimes I just give her those but I want her to eat better and I try and make her healthier options most days. It's not because I'm ignorant or don't have the time, it's that I have no idea how to tackle this from a behavioural perspective. I keep trying to give her better things, I've tried getting her to help with shopping and cooking, and my wife and I role model healthy eating and talk positively about it. I don't know what else to do, it feels futile.
Sounds like you e made a big effort. Well done. Have you tried buying those not so bad options and adding some bits on top? I used to add red peppers and tiny chopped up mushrooms on a pizza. And said they could only have it if they had a salad with it. It was a way ‘in’ to normalise the fresh stuff. Just an idea. You may have tried it.
Age 2 is notoriously difficult believe me and it does pass. Maybe try being more playful and creative with food with her? I used to make my sons veggie hedgehogs shaped from a scoop of mashed potato, tiny carrot sticks for spines and peas for eyes which they loved. Eggy bread could be made using slices of bread cut with a shape cutter into stars or hearts? You could also partly blend your own nutritious stew ( some textures can be off-putting for some little ones ) then top it with mash to make it look similar to what she gets at Nan’s. You could also make your own chicken nuggets minus the additives for her and also try to get Nan on board with backing you up with healthier meals? It’s great that you’re trying to tackle healthier eating while she’s so small and it will pay off I assure you.
This will sound harsh, but it worked for me. I'd put a variety of healthy foods on a plate and if my daughter didn't want any of it, I'd say "too bad because that's what there is." Very few children will deliberately starve themselves. When she was hungry enough to try some of the things, she found she liked them. Job done. When she was old enough to assess her earlier behaviour, she said she was being silly. (I've travelled in some poor countries and never saw any child refuse any food offered.)
Excellent podcast, but missing one crucial point: personal example. The whole household, parents included, must be following the same health food habits they want their children to adopt. Kids will never accept these habits/rules otherwise, and they are really quick in realizing they are being tricked if Mom and Dad try eating junk and sweets behind the kids' backs.
I agree, but also there’s grandparents, other family members, school friends and parents, school events, etc. They all influence children greatly. I can give my kid real food, but if everyone else is eating junk food….
I find the inappropriateness of some of the adverts on health podcasts quite amusing. I was shown some dodgy stick you shove in your ear to remove ear wax a couple of minutes ago. Would love to know what Tim Spector would make of that 😂
How to stop feeding your child junk food? Just stop. If you don't know how to shop and cook, learn. If you think you don't have time to do that, spend less time scrolling through social media. If your kid whines for rubbish, say no. If school meals are crap, prepare a healthy packed lunch. You're welcome.
I don’t know if moving in with grandma is the solution. My grandmother would have thought I was scandalous for breastfeeding my toddlers, and she raised my dad on tv dinners. My parents’ generation wasn’t far ahead. My mom (a boomer) was instructed to give us baby cereal at 4 weeks of age. If you’re looking for a trusted source, your national pediatric society is a good place to start. The Canadian pediatric society published feeding advice on their Caring for Kids website.
I really enjoy your videos usually, but so many assumptions going on here. The main one being that everyone has a freezer - there are families who don't. The whole video came across as very "middle class" with no acknowledgment that the choices suggested, although cheaper, are still more expensive than some can afford. Processed food is often very very cheap and easy to prepare. Most parents have no idea of the harm it's doing and have very poor relationship with food themselves, so assuming they can make the necessary changes is so off the mark. Until we have some sort of public information campaign, nothing will change. Sadly, the people who watch Zoe are not those you need to be educating.
I agree with this - I’m hoping more and more pressure on governments will help support these changes. I think we could have discussed canned items more too actually as they are great options
I agree that some of the people who need the advice the most won’t be watching Zoe but don’t know why that’s a reason not to discuss it. The guest speaker made a very good point about people that are educated about nutrition still not being able to eat the way they want because they are time poor and this probably impacts the “middle class” more. Less of this class nonsense. Cost is often a lazy excuse too, you can eat very healthy on a tight budget. Education is key and discussions like these really help.
@@dunphyc3 the presenters were both very good, but I don’t know what other description to us than ‘middle class’. It wasn’t lazy and no I thought a lot before using that term. But an example - “if you go to the park and your children usually have an ice cream out, tell them that what you make at home is better and wait till you get home” (paraphrased). Assumes someone lives near a park, has time to take their children there, can afford to buy ice cream, have the time to make ice cream and have a freezer. Big assumptions for someone living in the middle of an inner city housing estate on minimum wage or UC. A recent study confirmed that there is an equality issue with regard to obesity and life expectancy so it clearly is a wealth issue if not a class issue. If you can think of a better way to describe the lack of thought given by the presenter to examples and assumptions like the ones here, I’m happy to change my definition.
@LynnGT1 I agree with everything you are saying, my point is just that it's not a reason to criticise them for not discussing it and making assumptions. Ultimately what people keep forgetting is that Zoe is a private commercial enterprise and their customer base is going to be almost exclusively middle class if that's the term we want to use and their podcast audience is almost entirely going to be middle class also. They are designing a podcast for that audience. It would be a waste of time to start thinking of the tiny handful of people listening that might not have a freezer. I still think saying its too expensive to eat very well on a budget is a lazy one though (not calling you lazy, just talking about the general argument thats put out there). Yes processed food can be extremely cheap but so is a lot of real food. You can eat very very well on a budget. It's almost entirely an education issue imo.
So disappointing to see ads from beginning to end. I have have been a Zoe member for 20 months and am gaining real success with the program. They are a commercial enterprise and I accept taking about their own products. But we were promised no adds, what's gone wrong?
Excellent chat - thank you. I need more ideas of what to feed my 10 year old. She loves snacks and ice cream and is really tall already...it's like I can never feed her enough to keep up with her hunger. Lunch box ideas would be great; where do I go to find that?
My son was not allowed UPF and only allowed cakes and biscuits in my house if someone made them! (So we didn't have many!). Crisps were sold to him as empty calories, so he had cheese chunks and fruit chunks , vegetable sticks and dried fruit instead. He noticed early on that a lot of his friends were over weight and that was due to crisp intake!! He never complained about it, only complained that he had tuna salad in his lunch box too often! Lunch boxes were tricky , but he ate salad and rice or pasta can be added (I didn't allow sandwiches either ! ) And nowadays you can get flasks to put how food in, so stews can be sent into school. Yes you need to be prepared, and prep the night before, or get up at 5am like I used to!! (And many communities do this (Indian and African ) as they value cooking fresh food.
I’m from Canada and just returned yesterday from a visit to the UK. I was very excited to find Daily 30 at Waitrose and Partners. Looking forward to trying it! Zoe, please come to Canada soon!❤
Must admit tried Zoe and didn’t find it gave any real benefit and was very expensive for what it offered. Lots of free information out there if you want to save money
Time is a nutrition issue. Working may not let people to cook at home and eat real food. I remember my granddaughter telling that she come from school and prepare herself a MacaroniCheez.
It's a matter of priorities. Some people think watching Netflix and scrolling through rubbish is more important than shopping for nutritious food and cooking it. If you know what you're doing, you can prepare a wholesome meal in less than half an hour. You can also batch cook and freeze meals, and any kid over the age of about five can (and should) help instead of watching nonsense or spending hours on their phones. My four-year-old granddaughter can already wash and chop veg and fruit, crack and beat eggs, stir things on the stove, and wash dishes. That's because she's been taught. And she loves it.
Move in with Grandma?! Lol my Boomer parents/in-laws and my grandmother have been some of the largest resistance to me feeding my children healthy. They think processed sugar=love 🤦 School is also a big challenge.
I looked at cereals in M&S. They were all full of crap, Even their expensive top of the range muesli. But there is quality muesli out there... - H&B 12 plant muesli - Suma muesli - Infinity Foods muesli The H&B muesli has been discontinued, though not all shops are aware of this. I've not checked recently to see what if anything has replaced it. Check out zero waste wholefood shops, ask where they source their muesli from. Often it will be Infinity Foods or Suma Add organic milk grass grazed cows or raw milk. Top up with walnuts, and when in season strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
I think it’s so much rubbish that it is difficult to feed children healthy food. Start, how you mean to go on if possible. Unfortunately, many of todays parents were raised by lazy parents themselves , so don’t know how to cook. There have always been health food stores and healthy food available, as well as common sense. Parents are constantly being excused for their bad behaviour. I’m 70, to date, my family has not gone down the prepackaged food route. 3 generations of mothers worked after baby time. Our strategy has always been to prepare food for the whole family, and rarely anything different for the children. Between self and neighbours, we had a collection of 30 minute meal recipes. One strategy could be to plan 7 healthy meals seasonally, and assign one to each day of the week. Lots of great advice here.
I really resent the description of grandparents feeding their grandchildren ultra-processed and unhealthy food. I feed my grandchild every day after school and everthing is prepared from scratch, great quality, most of it organic. At the beginning of your talk, you praised grandparents for cooking wholesome food, based on traditions etc. Maybe it's where I live now but there's great emphasis on good quality food, schools have their own kitchens so no need for lunch boxes. Where bad unltra-processed food is served is unfortunately at council or church run sports and holiday clubs.
@@Rhitrition Since it been confirmed that micro plastics/chemicals are transferred through plastic bottles, tin linings, tea bags, coffee cups/ lids, and plastic packaging, image what happens when people/kids ingest sucking, and chewing, on the plastic nibs. Those pouches are the worst idea ever!!!! The "plasticfication" of food packaging is a huge problem. Most glass, paper and foil packaging are gone. Personally, I noticed coffee lids added a plastic taste as you sipped the hot drink when first introduced. Rarely buy a take out coffee, and never drink it with the lip on. Heat and plastics are a bad mix. And imagine the amount of chemicals giving off when heat sealing food packaging. Tiny amounts of chemicals being absorbed into the food, which then we ingested. Are supermarkets quitely polluting us?
I feel like the Zoe team needs to be more diverse in order to start creating content that appeals to all. One doctor sharing small changes we could make was powerful, now you’re moving into a cycle of content where a group of people who appear to all share the same culture, have a tone of preaching that they know best. While only a limited number of people can afford the programme, everyone can gain insights from the Zoe learning elements. If you really care about everyone having better health, create content that makes the health opportunities feel accessible to people on lower incomes (small fridge freezers), people with diverse cultural backgrounds (rather than assume a particular diet) and use content creators that reflect your wider audience.
why is broccoli always so maligned? Both of my children really love broccoli and always did, even the younger who was incredibly picky. I've been thinking about it, and I think it's because they were weaned on a mash of potatoes, broccoli and butter. Just an idea. You can use olive oil instead of butter. We always had frozen peas, edamame beans and carrot and cucumber sticks before dinner, sometimes with hummus, sometimes with yogurt. Surprisingly, the Arab tinned hummus often has less additives than the supermarket versions. In our country, we have a tradition of whole grain rye bread, so that is normal, have it with crunchy (no additives) peanut butter and apple slices, it's really sweet and delicious and healthy. I don't even remember this, but my youngest said we always had a bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter, rather than the snack drawer her friends knew. And it was popular! Who knew? Like Federica, I often made thermos pasta lunches for my youngest, and they were so popular, I had to make them for her friends, too. Another easy thing is little hand spanakopita pastries with herbs and spinach.. Obviously filo dough is not really healthy, but it has to be seen in context. Like the pasta, spanakopita lunch boxes were wildly popular, and since the kids would come home to dinners with lots of vegs and among them legumes, those 50 grammes of filo aren't going to rock any boat. We had Friday pizza and sweets, but not every day, and only 100 grammes of sweets pr. person.
When i was at school, admittedly a very long time ago, was not aware of anyone having their teeth extracted. And if they had, it would have been all around the school. I've asked around. Without exception, no one was aware of anyone having their teeth extracted when they were at school Therefore, this must be a very recent phenomenon.
I just watched something say try and have a savoury breakfast so I switched from (no added sugar) Alpen to creame cheese on (Jason's) sourdough. But I have no idea if that was a good idea. So much conflicting advice!
9:26 I would like to hear more about emulsifiers. I'll use them for making almond or hazelnut milk (just almond, Soja Lecithin and water). can't believe that the emulsifiers are that bad, maybe only in combination?
I think it’s sad that cereal is accepted as the food all children should have for breakfast. It has been shown that eggs are most beneficial for brain development in children, and they can be cooked very quickly, or hard boiled for a quick choice. The best nutrition.
I’m gutted that there are frequent ads in this podcast - first time. Is this going to be a regular feature? If yes, I’m going to unsubscribe. Very disappointed, have been lauding the Zoe podcasts to family and friends, will be stopping this if the ads continue.
I've never seen ads, other than ads for Zoe and Zoe Daily30+. What determines the ads? TH-cam is free, therefore I assume TH-cam sticks in the ads, not the content creator.
We are bombarded with marketing for ultra-processed food. For children it is even worse, colourful packaging, freebie plastic toys (do they still give away freebie plastic toys?). This is not for our health and well being. Ultra-processed food cheap to manufacture, highly profitable.
Teach your kids as early as possible to regard these "foods" as harmful and their pushers as immoral. Unfortunately this requires inculcating a degree of skepticism approaching cynicism, but there we are.
I do think we do need to bring a bit of parental responsibility. Parents need to be responsible for the development of children. I will disagree and say there is plenty of research and knowledge. As a parent it is your responsibility to be bothered to become educated and to educate. It is normal to make mistakes but normal to be lazy.
An overall great message but "whizzing up a flatbread batter, bit of smoked salmon and avocado" is perhaps the most middle class / overheard in Waitrose thing you could say!
Such a shame the Podcast is no longer advert free! Appreciate that Zoe needs to make money but not even a mention of the change in policy and the rationale. Love the ambition of Zoe and trust the information but dumbing down the quality (by having adverts) is really sad and may lead to a drop in audiences and potential new clients.
Redhill Farm shop from where I buy excellent ham, would be upset if I described as ultra-processed food. They take great pride in the quality of their food
So disappointed about all the ads! I actually had an ad within an ad - whist Jonathan was peddling his daily 30 up pops an eBay ad. It’s distracting and seems less genuine. It makes me question how trustworthy Zoe is now. Are you really here to educate the nation on better food choices or are you here to make more money?
This ,as a 72 year old granny was my first reaction. The women being interviewed didn't seem to have been educated by their moms or grandmothers. My babies got what we all ate but mashed or blended when it couldn't be digested any other way. I would offer put whatever food I was eating from my mouth into my babies I knew if it was edible then. It's not rocket science. Put your phones away.
I’m beginning to get suspicious of Zoe. I’ve followed right from the beginning when it really was just about research. Now it seems it’s become a vehicle to launch diet products and books from. Tim Spector started out saying all food was good, no dietary preferences excluded, but now seems to be pushing plant-based all the time. Whose grandmas are you referring to? Mine ate seasonal British meat and 2 veg. This time of year I got carrots, parsnips and tinned peas every day (I wouldn’t eat sprouts). We only had tinned fruit (in syrup) because fresh was expensive. We wouldn’t have got anywhere near 30 plant goods. We didn’t even have coffee. My grandma’s favourite tea was pork dripping (fat) on white bread with salt sprinkled on it, or chitlings (pigs stomach). She lived to the age of 94 with Old Age on the death certificate. Each week I come in the hope of learning something new, but it’s the same old paradigm being spewed out.
@@keithpp1 Those parents should be deemed irresponsible and ordered by a judge to accept outside council and supervision for the care of their children.
Several years ago, a girlfriend dragged me into McDonald's. She was very pleased with herself. I did not stay long, i left and waited outside. The stench was making me want to throw up. Whilst i was there i noticed several things. Parents picked their kids up from school. Took them home via McDonald's, too lazy to prepare a meal. The kids were so fat, they were as wide ss they were tall. The kids were so fat, they waddled, did not walk. Contrast with Queens Market in the East End of London. Parents took their kids to school via the market for the kids to find something fresh to eat. Via the market on their way home from school, to pick up fresh ingredients to prepare a meal when they get home.
Another podcast that begins by finding excuses for the parents....to buy or not to buy a pouch its a choice....Time it's not the problem, the right mindset and will power are more important...
I'm making yoghurt while I listen to this as it's almost impossible to get it without sugar and completely impossible to get free of any additives such as stabilisers.

My kids won’t eat chickpeas yet…but here’s what we have managed so far in case others find it helpful: 1) got a breadmaker and gradually increased the wholemeal flour content in the recipe until it’s now 50:50 2) UPF extruded crisps are ‘weekend crisps’, sliced potato ones are ‘weekday crisps’, 3) we have ‘Sunday sundae’ family treat together and buy ice-cream without emulsifiers 4) we make homemade versions of things they like eating out like burgers, pizzas, nuggets and 5) if they tell us they don’t like it, they have to add the word ‘yet’ to the end of the sentence. Our 11 year old watched the brilliant Chris Van Tulleken Royal Institute Lecture (1hr) and now makes better choices.
Little will change until advertisers and manufacturers are held to account. Mere fines won't cut it: custodial sentences, together with a lifetime ban from the food industry, for those who have proactively gone all out to ruin people's health for profit.

What a shame Zoe has gone down the route of allowing adverts. I thought the espoused value was the fact the podcasts would always be advert free 😔🤷♀️

I had the self efficacy 20 years ago not feeding my children with junk food. Just bought unprocessed ingredients, baked my own bread, still do it.
I think the key to children eating a varied diet is role modelling. Always Eat together, never cooked separately just for the children, role modelled enjoying food and the alternative option was also whole food / fruit. Never had any fuss about eating and they all turned out to be great health focused cooks cooking from scratch. Always had school dinners thanks to Jamie Oliver’s attempt to modernise school dinners.
If pieces of sandwiches and fruit the only option when hungry it is normal to reach for that when they were hungry. Never bought biscuits or chips or cereals or ready meals, made our on pizza, pancakes, muffins that are super quick to make and even the children learned to do it,
I thought this was one of the least helpful Zoe episodes I've listened to. I don't need advice from a nutritionist. I follow Zoe already, I'm well informed about what a good diet looks like. I need advice from a child psychologist on how actually get my child to eat the stuff I make. My little girl is 2, last night I made a healthy beef and vegetable stew with sourdough rye bread. My little girl said "I don't want this, yucky! I want cottage pie" (as in the Heinz ready meal that her grandma gives her), and she just got up and left without even tasting it. This morning I made an omelette for breakfast with some left over veggies and cheese. Again, she didn't even taste it saying "I don't want this". Every single meal this happens, unless the thing in front of her is pizza, chips, fish fingers, beans or chicken nuggets (at least she will eat fruit). It's frustrating and exhausting. I've ended up buying the least worst option of the things she doesn't like (e.g. products with more whole ingredients and without emulsifiers or modified starches etc) and sometimes I just give her those but I want her to eat better and I try and make her healthier options most days. It's not because I'm ignorant or don't have the time, it's that I have no idea how to tackle this from a behavioural perspective. I keep trying to give her better things, I've tried getting her to help with shopping and cooking, and my wife and I role model healthy eating and talk positively about it. I don't know what else to do, it feels futile.
Sounds like you e made a big effort. Well done. Have you tried buying those not so bad options and adding some bits on top? I used to add red peppers and tiny chopped up mushrooms on a pizza. And said they could only have it if they had a salad with it. It was a way ‘in’ to normalise the fresh stuff. Just an idea. You may have tried it.
Age 2 is notoriously difficult believe me and it does pass. Maybe try being more playful and creative with food with her? I used to make my sons veggie hedgehogs shaped from a scoop of mashed potato, tiny carrot sticks for spines and peas for eyes which they loved. Eggy bread could be made using slices of bread cut with a shape cutter into stars or hearts? You could also partly blend your own nutritious stew ( some textures can be off-putting for some little ones ) then top it with mash to make it look similar to what she gets at Nan’s. You could also make your own chicken nuggets minus the additives for her and also try to get Nan on board with backing you up with healthier meals? It’s great that you’re trying to tackle healthier eating while she’s so small and it will pay off I assure you.
This will sound harsh, but it worked for me. I'd put a variety of healthy foods on a plate and if my daughter didn't want any of it, I'd say "too bad because that's what there is." Very few children will deliberately starve themselves. When she was hungry enough to try some of the things, she found she liked them. Job done. When she was old enough to assess her earlier behaviour, she said she was being silly. (I've travelled in some poor countries and never saw any child refuse any food offered.)
Excellent podcast, but missing one crucial point: personal example. The whole household, parents included, must be following the same health food habits they want their children to adopt. Kids will never accept these habits/rules otherwise, and they are really quick in realizing they are being tricked if Mom and Dad try eating junk and sweets behind the kids' backs.
I agree, but also there’s grandparents, other family members, school friends and parents, school events, etc. They all influence children greatly. I can give my kid real food, but if everyone else is eating junk food….
Very difficult to listen to as the adverts are so very disturbing. Real shame about this. 😢
I find the inappropriateness of some of the adverts on health podcasts quite amusing. I was shown some dodgy stick you shove in your ear to remove ear wax a couple of minutes ago. Would love to know what Tim Spector would make of that 😂
That is TH-cam choosing the adverts for you, not Zoe
How to stop feeding your child junk food? Just stop. If you don't know how to shop and cook, learn. If you think you don't have time to do that, spend less time scrolling through social media. If your kid whines for rubbish, say no. If school meals are crap, prepare a healthy packed lunch. You're welcome.
I don’t know if moving in with grandma is the solution. My grandmother would have thought I was scandalous for breastfeeding my toddlers, and she raised my dad on tv dinners. My parents’ generation wasn’t far ahead. My mom (a boomer) was instructed to give us baby cereal at 4 weeks of age. If you’re looking for a trusted source, your national pediatric society is a good place to start. The Canadian pediatric society published feeding advice on their Caring for Kids website.
apologies if it's already been metioned but what is the book about good belly bugs?
A Zoe programme aimed at children would help parents
Yes! Please do this. It would be amazing!
Get operation ouch to do a mini youtube video on it! ❤
I really enjoy your videos usually, but so many assumptions going on here. The main one being that everyone has a freezer - there are families who don't. The whole video came across as very "middle class" with no acknowledgment that the choices suggested, although cheaper, are still more expensive than some can afford. Processed food is often very very cheap and easy to prepare. Most parents have no idea of the harm it's doing and have very poor relationship with food themselves, so assuming they can make the necessary changes is so off the mark. Until we have some sort of public information campaign, nothing will change. Sadly, the people who watch Zoe are not those you need to be educating.
I agree with this - I’m hoping more and more pressure on governments will help support these changes. I think we could have discussed canned items more too actually as they are great options
I agree that some of the people who need the advice the most won’t be watching Zoe but don’t know why that’s a reason not to discuss it. The guest speaker made a very good point about people that are educated about nutrition still not being able to eat the way they want because they are time poor and this probably impacts the “middle class” more. Less of this class nonsense. Cost is often a lazy excuse too, you can eat very healthy on a tight budget. Education is key and discussions like these really help.
Let us all gather round and marvel at the superior moral sensitivity of @LynnGT1
@@dunphyc3 the presenters were both very good, but I don’t know what other description to us than ‘middle class’. It wasn’t lazy and no I thought a lot before using that term. But an example - “if you go to the park and your children usually have an ice cream out, tell them that what you make at home is better and wait till you get home” (paraphrased). Assumes someone lives near a park, has time to take their children there, can afford to buy ice cream, have the time to make ice cream and have a freezer. Big assumptions for someone living in the middle of an inner city housing estate on minimum wage or UC. A recent study confirmed that there is an equality issue with regard to obesity and life expectancy so it clearly is a wealth issue if not a class issue. If you can think of a better way to describe the lack of thought given by the presenter to examples and assumptions like the ones here, I’m happy to change my definition.
@LynnGT1 I agree with everything you are saying, my point is just that it's not a reason to criticise them for not discussing it and making assumptions. Ultimately what people keep forgetting is that Zoe is a private commercial enterprise and their customer base is going to be almost exclusively middle class if that's the term we want to use and their podcast audience is almost entirely going to be middle class also. They are designing a podcast for that audience. It would be a waste of time to start thinking of the tiny handful of people listening that might not have a freezer.
I still think saying its too expensive to eat very well on a budget is a lazy one though (not calling you lazy, just talking about the general argument thats put out there). Yes processed food can be extremely cheap but so is a lot of real food. You can eat very very well on a budget. It's almost entirely an education issue imo.
Great video podcast is a good start. Sent to my family abroad so they can benefit from advice. Much appreciated.
So disappointing to see ads from beginning to end. I have have been a Zoe member for 20 months and am gaining real success with the program. They are a commercial enterprise and I accept taking about their own products. But we were promised no adds, what's gone wrong?
Excellent chat - thank you. I need more ideas of what to feed my 10 year old. She loves snacks and ice cream and is really tall already...it's like I can never feed her enough to keep up with her hunger. Lunch box ideas would be great; where do I go to find that?
100 Days of Real Food Website has some great healthy snack ideas and recipes for the whole family
My son was not allowed UPF and only allowed cakes and biscuits in my house if someone made them! (So we didn't have many!). Crisps were sold to him as empty calories, so he had cheese chunks and fruit chunks , vegetable sticks and dried fruit instead. He noticed early on that a lot of his friends were over weight and that was due to crisp intake!! He never complained about it, only complained that he had tuna salad in his lunch box too often! Lunch boxes were tricky , but he ate salad and rice or pasta can be added (I didn't allow sandwiches either ! ) And nowadays you can get flasks to put how food in, so stews can be sent into school. Yes you need to be prepared, and prep the night before, or get up at 5am like I used to!! (And many communities do this (Indian and African ) as they value cooking fresh food.
Wonderful advice and crucial perspective for parents
I’m from Canada and just returned yesterday from a visit to the UK. I was very excited to find Daily 30 at Waitrose and Partners. Looking forward to trying it! Zoe, please come to Canada soon!❤

Time is a nutrition issue. Working may not let people to cook at home and eat real food. I remember my granddaughter telling that she come from school and prepare herself a MacaroniCheez.
It's a matter of priorities. Some people think watching Netflix and scrolling through rubbish is more important than shopping for nutritious food and cooking it. If you know what you're doing, you can prepare a wholesome meal in less than half an hour. You can also batch cook and freeze meals, and any kid over the age of about five can (and should) help instead of watching nonsense or spending hours on their phones. My four-year-old granddaughter can already wash and chop veg and fruit, crack and beat eggs, stir things on the stove, and wash dishes. That's because she's been taught. And she loves it.
@@sarahsnowe Yes you are right, you know what it means food. Many people, or the majority don't know or care until they are already Sick.
Move in with Grandma?! Lol my Boomer parents/in-laws and my grandmother have been some of the largest resistance to me feeding my children healthy. They think processed sugar=love 🤦
School is also a big challenge.
I looked at cereals in M&S. They were all full of crap, Even their expensive top of the range muesli.
But there is quality muesli out there...
- H&B 12 plant muesli
- Suma muesli
- Infinity Foods muesli
The H&B muesli has been discontinued, though not all shops are aware of this. I've not checked recently to see what if anything has replaced it.
Check out zero waste wholefood shops, ask where they source their muesli from. Often it will be Infinity Foods or Suma
Add organic milk grass grazed cows or raw milk. Top up with walnuts, and when in season strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Make your own muesli. Easy--kids can help or even make it by themselves--and cheaper than store-bought.
I think it’s so much rubbish that it is difficult to feed children healthy food. Start, how you mean to go on if possible. Unfortunately, many of todays parents were raised by lazy parents themselves , so don’t know how to cook. There have always been health food stores and healthy food available, as well as common sense. Parents are constantly being excused for their bad behaviour. I’m 70, to date, my family has not gone down the prepackaged food route. 3 generations of mothers worked after baby time. Our strategy has always been to prepare food for the whole family, and rarely anything different for the children. Between self and neighbours, we had a collection of 30 minute meal recipes. One strategy could be to plan 7 healthy meals seasonally, and assign one to each day of the week. Lots of great advice here.
I really resent the description of grandparents feeding their grandchildren ultra-processed and unhealthy food. I feed my grandchild every day after school and everthing is prepared from scratch, great quality, most of it organic. At the beginning of your talk, you praised grandparents for cooking wholesome food, based on traditions etc. Maybe it's where I live now but there's great emphasis on good quality food, schools have their own kitchens so no need for lunch boxes. Where bad unltra-processed food is served is unfortunately at council or church run sports and holiday clubs.
What about all the plastic packaging? Especially those sacks which kids suck on.
looking into research on this atm, baby bottles are also potentially a concern to with plastic now - lots to look into
@@Rhitrition Since it been confirmed that micro plastics/chemicals are transferred through plastic bottles, tin linings, tea bags, coffee cups/ lids, and plastic packaging, image what happens when people/kids ingest sucking, and chewing, on the plastic nibs. Those pouches are the worst idea ever!!!! The "plasticfication" of food packaging is a huge problem. Most glass, paper and foil packaging are gone. Personally, I noticed coffee lids added a plastic taste as you sipped the hot drink when first introduced. Rarely buy a take out coffee, and never drink it with the lip on. Heat and plastics are a bad mix. And imagine the amount of chemicals giving off when heat sealing food packaging. Tiny amounts of chemicals being absorbed into the food, which then we ingested. Are supermarkets quitely polluting us?
I find there is so much info on what we shouldn't eat . It's so difficult to find anything we should..
Real food: fruit, veg, whole grains, nuts, some dairy, and a little meat and fish.
@@sarahsnowe agreed. It’s very simple.
Cannot believe you are advertising your own processed supplement.
I feel like the Zoe team needs to be more diverse in order to start creating content that appeals to all. One doctor sharing small changes we could make was powerful, now you’re moving into a cycle of content where a group of people who appear to all share the same culture, have a tone of preaching that they know best.
While only a limited number of people can afford the programme, everyone can gain insights from the Zoe learning elements. If you really care about everyone having better health, create content that makes the health opportunities feel accessible to people on lower incomes (small fridge freezers), people with diverse cultural backgrounds (rather than assume a particular diet) and use content creators that reflect your wider audience.
Zoe videos are amazing. Very informative.
Indeed, it's a bit, well, middle class .
How is a protein bar healthier than bean to bar dark craft chocolate?😊
why is broccoli always so maligned? Both of my children really love broccoli and always did, even the younger who was incredibly picky. I've been thinking about it, and I think it's because they were weaned on a mash of potatoes, broccoli and butter. Just an idea. You can use olive oil instead of butter. We always had frozen peas, edamame beans and carrot and cucumber sticks before dinner, sometimes with hummus, sometimes with yogurt. Surprisingly, the Arab tinned hummus often has less additives than the supermarket versions.
In our country, we have a tradition of whole grain rye bread, so that is normal, have it with crunchy (no additives) peanut butter and apple slices, it's really sweet and delicious and healthy.
I don't even remember this, but my youngest said we always had a bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter, rather than the snack drawer her friends knew. And it was popular! Who knew?
Like Federica, I often made thermos pasta lunches for my youngest, and they were so popular, I had to make them for her friends, too. Another easy thing is little hand spanakopita pastries with herbs and spinach.. Obviously filo dough is not really healthy, but it has to be seen in context. Like the pasta, spanakopita lunch boxes were wildly popular, and since the kids would come home to dinners with lots of vegs and among them legumes, those 50 grammes of filo aren't going to rock any boat.
We had Friday pizza and sweets, but not every day, and only 100 grammes of sweets pr. person.
When i was at school, admittedly a very long time ago, was not aware of anyone having their teeth extracted. And if they had, it would have been all around the school.
I've asked around. Without exception, no one was aware of anyone having their teeth extracted when they were at school
Therefore, this must be a very recent phenomenon.
Did I miss them give an actual definition for UPF?
I just watched something say try and have a savoury breakfast so I switched from (no added sugar) Alpen to creame cheese on (Jason's) sourdough.
But I have no idea if that was a good idea. So much conflicting advice!

9:26 I would like to hear more about emulsifiers. I'll use them for making almond or hazelnut milk (just almond, Soja Lecithin and water). can't believe that the emulsifiers are that bad, maybe only in combination?
I think it’s sad that cereal is accepted as the food all children should have for breakfast. It has been shown that eggs are most beneficial for brain development in children, and they can be cooked very quickly, or hard boiled for a quick choice. The best nutrition.
I’m gutted that there are frequent ads in this podcast - first time. Is this going to be a regular feature? If yes, I’m going to unsubscribe. Very disappointed, have been lauding the Zoe podcasts to family and friends, will be stopping this if the ads continue.
I've never seen ads, other than ads for Zoe and Zoe Daily30+.
What determines the ads? TH-cam is free, therefore I assume TH-cam sticks in the ads, not the content creator.
Time, busy people don't have the time to cook eggs, maybe the weekend, and not everyone can eat eggs.
We are bombarded with marketing for ultra-processed food. For children it is even worse, colourful packaging, freebie plastic toys (do they still give away freebie plastic toys?). This is not for our health and well being. Ultra-processed food cheap to manufacture, highly profitable.
Teach your kids as early as possible to regard these "foods" as harmful and their pushers as immoral. Unfortunately this requires inculcating a degree of skepticism approaching cynicism, but there we are.
I do think we do need to bring a bit of parental responsibility. Parents need to be responsible for the development of children. I will disagree and say there is plenty of research and knowledge. As a parent it is your responsibility to be bothered to become educated and to educate. It is normal to make mistakes but normal to be lazy.
An overall great message but "whizzing up a flatbread batter, bit of smoked salmon and avocado" is perhaps the most middle class / overheard in Waitrose thing you could say!
Such a shame the Podcast is no longer advert free! Appreciate that Zoe needs to make money but not even a mention of the change in policy and the rationale. Love the ambition of Zoe and trust the information but dumbing down the quality (by having adverts) is really sad and may lead to a drop in audiences and potential new clients.
Redhill Farm shop from where I buy excellent ham, would be upset if I described as ultra-processed food. They take great pride in the quality of their food
So disappointed about all the ads! I actually had an ad within an ad - whist Jonathan was peddling his daily 30 up pops an eBay ad. It’s distracting and seems less genuine. It makes me question how trustworthy Zoe is now. Are you really here to educate the nation on better food choices or are you here to make more money?
Pop up ads irritating. Why is this happening?

How about asking Grandmothers for advice?
They will advise to provide plenty of cookies, chocolate, lots of fruits, plenty of bread and cereals for breakfast 😂
This ,as a 72 year old granny was my first reaction. The women being interviewed didn't seem to have been educated by their moms or grandmothers. My babies got what we all ate but mashed or blended when it couldn't be digested any other way. I would offer put whatever food I was eating from my mouth into my babies I knew if it was edible then. It's not rocket science. Put your phones away.
I don’t have time to listen to all this rambling but I want the hard information and facts that Zoe
can provide.
Children are more used to opening a packet of crisps than unpeeling a banana. -- Federica Amati
I’m beginning to get suspicious of Zoe. I’ve followed right from the beginning when it really was just about research. Now it seems it’s become a vehicle to launch diet products and books from. Tim Spector started out saying all food was good, no dietary preferences excluded, but now seems to be pushing plant-based all the time.
Whose grandmas are you referring to? Mine ate seasonal British meat and 2 veg. This time of year I got carrots, parsnips and tinned peas every day (I wouldn’t eat sprouts). We only had tinned fruit (in syrup) because fresh was expensive. We wouldn’t have got anywhere near 30 plant goods. We didn’t even have coffee. My grandma’s favourite tea was pork dripping (fat) on white bread with salt sprinkled on it, or chitlings (pigs stomach). She lived to the age of 94 with Old Age on the death certificate.
Each week I come in the hope of learning something new, but it’s the same old paradigm being spewed out.

Several years ago, a girlfriend dragged me into McDonald's. She was very pleased with herself.
I did not stay long, i left and waited outside. The stench was making me want to throw up.
Whilst i was there i noticed several things.
Parents picked their kids up from school. Took them home via McDonald's, too lazy to prepare a meal.
The kids were so fat, they were as wide ss they were tall. The kids were so fat, they waddled, did not walk.
Contrast with Queens Market in the East End of London. Parents took their kids to school via the market for the kids to find something fresh to eat. Via the market on their way home from school, to pick up fresh ingredients to prepare a meal when they get home.
I love the enthusiasm, but try not to talk over each other. That's fine in a social setting, but chaotic and hard to follow for an audience.
