Only one in six mothers cook from scratch on a daily basis, as they have no time and lack confidence in the kitchen, according to a survey.
Instead children are being fed a diet of chicken nuggets, pizza and sausages as parents say they are quick to put on the table - and they know their children will eat them.
Food campaigners believe today?s grandparents must shoulder some of the blame for failing to teach their own offspring how to cook back in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
The survey found only 16 per cent cooked a meal from scratch every day. More than half cooked from basic ingredients four times a week or less. A quarter only did so once a week or less frequently, commissioned by the Department of Health?s Change4Life Be Food Smart campaign.
