Smit and University of KwaZulu-Natal nutritionist Suna Kassier analysed questionnaires completed by 476 primary school mothers from Cape Town’s northern suburbs‚ and conducted focus groups with 37 of them.
Reporting their findings in the South African Journal of Child Health‚ they said another barrier to healthy food choices was the school tuck shop.
“Almost all of the mothers agreed that tuck shops and informal vendors sell predominantly unhealthy food‚” they said.
Supermarkets could do more by displaying healthy food more prominently‚ they said‚ and food advertising was a big factor influencing unhealthy choices.
