Abstract
As a school nursing sister working in an inner city area of high deprivation I was initially concerned with childhood obesity and with what the children are eating. Social class has often been considered as a factor in causing obesity, in so far as families in the lower income groups are more likely to eat a less well balanced diet with a high proportion of the cheaper carbohydrate foods.
