Children who eat with their families rather than alone in front of the television are more likely to enjoy a healthy diet and be well adjusted, according to new research. This comes at a time when momentum is growing for healthier foods, with reports this week of a dramatic slump in fast-food sales amid growing concerns about obesity, now said to affect one in seven children.. Jean-Christophe Novelli, the acclaimed Michelin-starred chef, has become the latest high-profile figure publicly to back The Independent on Sunday’s Sunday Lunch Campaign. An ardent fan of the traditional family meal, Mr Novelli, 45, described the Sunday lunch as “sacred” and said it was a travesty that fewer and fewer Britons were bothering with the centuries-old tradition.. The celebrated female racing driver Fay Taylour hoarded a cache of pictures of Adolf Hitler during a three-year prison spell in the Second World War, British Security Service files have revealed. The sportswoman was interned by British authorities in June 1940 because of her pro-Nazi beliefs.

A few months earlier, in a letter to a friend, the Irish-born driver said: “I love Nazi Germany and the German people and their leader and this war seems terribly unfair.”. They form Britain’s least wanted list: an online database of men that womankind has declared are to be avoided at all costs. Cads, lotharios and bedhopping chancers all take their place on a new website set up by cheated partners intent on sending out a warning to women around the world.
And just four months after dontdatehimgirl was launched, more than 20,000 Britons have joined up, either to post details of the bad behaviour of an ex-boyfriend or to check up on the past of a current one.For thousands of men that has meant an unenviable starring role on the internet. Underneath their pictures is a series of scathing complaints, allegations and tirades.The site, which is inspired by the FBI’s “most wanted” list, contains an ever-expanding database of adulterers and heartbreakers, in the hope of stopping them duping any more unsuspecting female victims.On the list is Mark from London. Apparently, he is not the sensitive single man he says he is.

In fact, the 31-year-old has managed to cheat on his girlfriend of seven years with no less than 30 different women – including her best friend, the site claims.”This guy is very good- looking and can be charming but is essentially the most selfish man in the world,” says the report from one of his many spurned lovers. “To say he doesn’t grasp the concept of faithfulness is an understatement. He is an awful man who lacks any respect for women and wantonly hurts them.”Begun in the United States, the site has already snared dozens of untrustworthy British lotharios. One young British woman who felt aggrieved enough to post a former lover on Dontdatehimgirl was Alex Butterworth, 24, from Bradford.Last year Ms Butterworth, a police officer, began seeing a man who seemed perfect. He was tall, handsome and told her he was a professional rugby league player, on the books of Leeds Rhinos.”I thought it was going really well, but obviously it wasn’t – because he had a girlfriend,” she said “He was just telling more and more lies. Another time he said he couldn’t see me because he was going out with his mate, but then I went out and bumped into that mate.
