Former long jumper Greg Rutherford has backed a campaign to get kids to eat more fruit and veg - after it emerged just 23 per cent are getting their five-a-day
Olympic hero Greg Rutherford is championing a new drive to encourage youngsters to eat their greens after a study revealed that only 23 per cent of children are consuming the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
Attractions include a cycling blender, a rowing machine turned banana boat, and a basketball hoop that churns out fresh orange juice. "We need children to see fruit and veg as something positive so that they can grow up into big healthy adults, and 'crush it' in all walks of life - from the playground to the sports field."
"This is a unique opportunity for families to celebrate the fun of fruit and veg, by crushing their own smoothies in some really creative and imaginative ways." Nutritionist Lily Soutter, who has also teamed-up with innocent drinks, has warned kids who don't get their five-a-day are missing out on key nutrients.
