Abstract
A debate about British schoolchildren's diets since the turn of the century is briefly reviewed. This provides the context to consideration of a preliminary DHSS/OPCS report The Diets of British Schoolchildren that present the results of a dietary survey of 10/11 and 14/15 year olds in Scotland, Wales and England. Limitations in the way the survey data are analysed and interpreted are identified. These limitations leave unanswered questions as to whether school children are/are not adequately nourished. 1 This article examines the following report by R.W. Wenlock, M. M. Disselduff and R. K. Skinner (Nutrition Unit, DHSS) and I. Knight (Social Survey Division, OPCS) The Diets of British Schoolchildren: preliminary report of a nutritional analysis of a nationwide dietary survey of British Schoolchildren, April 1986, £.4.50, ISBN 0‐948064.
