(Our) Senior team were very enthused with the rich source of data provided within the reports (and thought that the analyses including within the appendices section of the main reports were really interesting).

Food: Now and Then - Young People's Food Choices
750,000 young people, between the ages of 10 and 15 tell us about healthy eating and weight control. This report has data from the latest snapshot from SHEU's Health-Related Behaviour Questionnaire (HRBQ) with some fascinating trend information, some going back to 1983 a generation ago. So, some of our original subjects in the 1980s have probably had children who have contributed to the findings in 2010. Topics cover breakfast, lunch, attitudes to weight, food preferences, drinking water, snacking and considering healthy food options.
For example:
Not having schoolday lunch - Do male or female 14-15 yr olds consistently report, since 1986, no lunch?
Data from 1986 show an upward trend with a consistently high percentage from 14-15 year old females who report not having schoolday lunch.
