Fussy Eaters, BMI Myths & The School Dessert Debate

How can you boost nutrition for fussy children without changing the foods they already love? How reliable is BMI as a measure of health, particularly for women or people recovering from disordered eating? And should desserts really be served every day in primary schools?

This week we answer your questions on hidden nutrients for picky eaters, navigating BMI without damaging your relationship with food, and the debate around sugary desserts in school meals. We also talk about spotting misleading health claims online and share lots of practical tips to help make everyday wellness feel simpler.
