Almost three-quarters of eight to 15-year-olds were not aware that a junk food-laden diet could potentially shorten their life, according to the British Heart Foundation.
Yoobot vs YooNot: Return of the Yoobot
Which is why the charity has unveiled a new online game that lets you create a mini digital version of yourself called a Yoobot.
The free game aims to help children think more about the food they are eating and take more responsibility for their own health.
Once you've created your own lookalike Yoobot, you need to set its diet and exercise regime and see how its health develops over time.
You can create a Yoobot at www.yoobot.co.uk - simply click on the link to hatch a Yoobot.
UPDATE - 29.09.09: The Yoobot website has had a complete makeover! Find out more about the new-look Yoobot - and then tell us what you think about the new-look website!
