I was one of six children with a mum who worked full time but none of us suffered from any attention disorders because we ate fresh food that mum made.

I think this is the point. Your mom cared about her family and took the time to make sure that they ate properly. However, some moms will spend their day in front of the TV smoking, drinking, eating chips ... oops that should be "crisps" .... and not giving a flying f**k about what her kids do. And no amount of education or legislation will change this. I agree that govts. probably should legislate that food marketers should list the ingredients, levels of trans fats, cholesterol etc. on food, but this is the limit. Once the consumer is informed it is her choice what she does with the information.
