| Britain should be a "nanny state" about food to ensure children are healthy, according to Jamie Oliver.
The celebrity chef said the nation has come a long way, but diet-related diseases are still a major concern and healthy eating, especially for youngsters, is a public health issue.
Speaking on his annual Food Revolution Day, he made a fresh call for a 20 per cent tax on sugary drinks and warned that parents should find it uncomfortable that the UK is the unhealthiest country in Europe, with children likely to live a shorter life than their mothers and fathers.
As part of Food Revolution Day, Oliver is leading a campaign for all G20 nations - which include the UK - to make practical food education a compulsory part of the school curriculum.
