OMG!!! Don't wait until your children start school before they learn about nutrition. Kids as young as three years old already have food preferences related to "junk" and can actually name products. See
If your kids are fussy eaters, keep trying with whatever strategies you can to engage them in healthy eating. I know they can scream the house down when they don't get their Happy Meal but seek help from a dietician, or a book like "More Peas, Please" by Kate Di Prima and Julie Cichero. See
The habits that form in these early years are the ones that lead to childhood obesity and all its inherent problems such as diabetes and hypertension. As a parent, you'd probably give your life for your child's (e.g. stop a bullet aimed at them).
