The problem is that restaurants have assumed that kids don't want to eat anything other than chicken nuggets or fast-food burgers, but they do. They want to eat things that taste good.

I won't cook in deep fat. Years ago, I met a fireman who said most kitchen fires were caused by deep fat, and I don't think that's changed. Oven chips are good enough for my grandchildren, and they're chuffed with that.

I was convinced you were not able to tell a consumer you can have a healthy fried chip or a good-tasting baked chip.

I can't see potato chips being popular where there's not land to grow potatoes in or where frying in lots of oil isn't easy or convenient.

I knew I shouldn't be eating fried chips, but I'm just not a fan of baked chips, as much as I tried them.

I like children - fried.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

Kids see cooking as a creative outlet now, like soccer and ballet. It gives me hope that things like fast food, childhood obesity and the horrible state of school lunches can be addressed by kids and their parents.

I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.

A food is not necessarily essential just because your child hates it.
