82% of UK kids do not see chips (crisps) as a treat

Children's diets are now so poor that more than two-thirds of them do not think fast food is a treat, British Heart Foundation research suggests.

A poll of 500 youngsters also found that 82% do not think of crisps as anything special. More than half do not consider sweets a treat.

The charity wants the government to ban the marketing of what it describes as junk food to children.
