Goodnight Amanda - with the number of food banks popping up everywhere you could be right. If families can't afford basic food, they are unlikely to be buying fruit and other nutritious things for their children. :-0 |

Can understand your mother being concerned about your weight Persia, but some children are just naturally thin. My daughter had painfully thin legs when she was little, and was reluctant to walk anywhere. I was convinced there was something wrong with her. |

My mother was very concerned about my weight, When I was 3, I weighed 2st 6lbs and when I was 4, I weighed 2st 11lbs and at 5, I was 3st 1lb (that 1lb was very important).. so I was constantly monitored and marched off to the local pharmacy to be weighed... |

I don't think my younger brother and sister had these cod liver oil and orange juice so I think that by the 60's it was no longer in common use. |

I remember the orange juice concentrate Sue - it was issued free through child clinics here. |

I used to have a spoonful of cod liver oil and a spoonful of some kind of orange juice concentrate. Apparently I liked the oil but not the juice :-S |

I used to have a spoonful of Virol, a malt extract, that I expect was the same as your Maltexo. Also cod liver oil every day at school, with vitamin tablets. |

Persie, you grew up the same way I did. We had Glucose D as children (cant remember having it by the spoonful), and a spoonful of Maltexo (with cod liver oil) each day, dad called that 'stinking fish'. Loved it. I still have a small amount of glucose d in a jar, have had it for ages, decided to buy more, but no luck. I might try the health food shop, but suspect it has been abandoned. I think it was the Glaxo company. Do they still exist? Must do some googling. |

Hmmm... just googled and saw where it is an Indian product.. maybe they have it in the spice and lentil shops in Sandringham Village. |

It is absolute ages since I have purchased glucose D... I used to get told off when I was young for eating great spoonfuls of the stuff. |
