Make nutrition a compulsory subject taught in primary and secondary schools
We call on the government to make the teaching of nutrition and wellbeing a compulsory component of the national curriculum taught in primary and secondary schools.
If the NHS is to be sustainable for future generations, it is essential our children learn about a healthy diet and lifestyle options. More than 60 percent of diseases treated by the NHS are the result of eating a poor diet of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs); chronic health problems such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and some cancers are the direct result of a poor lifestyle, which includes a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and stress.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
In England, nutrition and food education is already included in the National Curriculum for primary and secondary schools.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
