As a sugar ban puts the school bake sale in jeopardy, cookery author Sue Quinn argues why we should let kids bake their cake...and eat it

THE school bake sale has long been a tradition, like the nativity play and sports day – but now it is under threat after a group of dentists urged a total sugar ban for pupils.

If they don’t know how to nourish themselves there’s good evidence they’ll head for a diet of takeaways and highly processed foods when they’re older.Cookery author Sue Quinn believes a sugar ban is wrong and says that baking is actually good for children's' healthAnd this is the stuff that really causes chronic health problems — not the occasional slice of cake.

Children simply love to bake. Like adults, they’re fascinated by the alchemy that transforms a sticky batter into a delicious sponge or a batch of cookies.Sue says it's important that children learn to cook and to do this they need to cook the food they want to eatOf course, they love to eat the results of their endeavours, too, but in the process they’re learning. As well as encouraging children to love to cook, baking teaches them important lessons.

Fine. Bake wholewheat bread and cheese scones and quiches and the good stuff.

Who are these authoritarian little pencil pushers we seem to be filling politics.. the civil service and public services with? Must be some unexpected flaw of the upper echelons of Maslow's pyramid.. because the born to middle class clones we're raising are absolute morons
