Let them eat Jaffa cakes
Article Abstract:
Children should eat salad, fruit and fresh vegetables, but these foods do not contribute to their growth and energy, according to Dr Dee Dawson, medical director of Rhodes Farm Clinic for anorexic children in London, England. She feels that children should be allowed to eat foods widely regarded as unhealthy, such as crisps, and that children should be allowed to eat between meals if they are hungry. Children should be taught that fat is a vital part of a healthy diet and that some fats are good for you.

Children caught in a vicious circle
Article Abstract:
Children of anorexic mothers are 10 times more likely to have stunted growth or glandular problems. Some anorexic mothers are unable to feed their children and others overfeed their children. The Maudsley Hospital, London, England, deals with this problem. Psychiatrist Dr Treasure, who treats anorexic and bulimic mothers, finds that bulimia is increasingly replacing depression. Anorexic mothers offer tiny helpings of healthy food to their children, and cannot see they are underweight.

Can the vicious circle of dependency be broken?
Article Abstract:
The World Bank has put forward plans for a $11 billion trust fund to help cut the external debts of poor countries in a rather defensive way, emphasising that it will not write off its loans if this will endanger its AAA credit rating. The scheme would cover 40 of the world's neediest nations, which now owe $160 billion in total. They owe more than the size of their economies, and have very high debt servicing costs.
