AbstractCooking is a lifetime skill, just like many other important aspects of education, but one that is sadly undervalued. Many of today's 20 and 30 year-olds have grown up with convenience foods, eating out and microwaved meals being the norm. Working parents have less time and expertise to pass on cooking skills to their offspring, and because of modern lifestyles, fewer families are sitting down together to a home-cooked meal. Communal meals provide an occasion for conversation and the opportunity to teach manners and social skills to children; however, solitary meals are often lower in nutritional value than those traditionally eaten together, such as the Sunday roast, and children are growing up in complete ignorance of healthy meal planning and food preparation.
Now that the nation's bad eating habits have been acknowledged, attempts are being made to address the problem. Since September 2006, junk food such as crisps, sweets and fizzy drinks have been banned from school vending machines (although this could result in children simply buying more of the same on their journeys to and from school) and school lunches must include at least two portions of fruit and vegetables. Guidelines stipulating vitamin, mineral and nutrient content will be introduced in primary schools by 2008 and secondary schools by 2009, and pupils aged 11 to 16 will have more opportunity to learn practical cookery skills.
These moves come in the wake of media attention surrounding the 2005 Channel 4 series Jamie's School Dinners, in which celebrity chef Jamie Oliver took over catering in a secondary school and famously poured scorn on the Turkey Twizzler. As more parents turned to making packed lunches for their children, the Government responded to Jamie Oliver's calls for improved standards by pledging to invest more than £200m over 3 years to help schools and local education authorities (LEAs) hire better-trained cooks and elevate school meal standards. However, taking unhealthy fast food off school menus has not proved popular with many children, with fewer children now eating school dinners.
There is no shortage of food in the UK and its supply is no longer seasonal in a global industry. Consumers have come to expect cheap food and, in many cases, are unwilling to pay more for quality or local produce rather than that produced by intensive modern industrial agriculture that is exhausting the land and jeopardising health.
Eating is a risky business, with history marked by food scares and by fashionable beliefs about diet. With governmental and media interest in the link between diet and health high, the food industry is under intense pressure to reduce the amount of levels of sugar, salt and fat in its products. The impending ban on advertising junk food to children before a 9pm watershed and the appointment of the Minister for Fitness to educate the public may prove sufficient to arrest the obesity epidemic and its associated health problems, but it might be that more government intervention will be put in place during 2007. Some people will inevitably resent what they perceive to be dictatorial interference as to what they should or should not eat. Nevertheless, a Health Select Committee report, published in May 2004, concluded that while the individual has ultimate responsibility for his or her own health, the Government must resist inaction caused by political anxiety over accusations of `nanny statism'.
This Market Assessment examines how lifestyles, economic restraints, awareness of diet, but, frequently, lack of cookery skills and physiological, psychological, religious, ethical and cultural issues all affect cooking and eating habits.
