South Africa's obsession with Banting is about to hit the playground. Two rival children's recipe books - both hailing the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet for children - are due to hit South African book stores over the next few months.First out is Real Food for Healthy, Happy Children, which has raised eyebrows at its similarities to Tim Noakes's 2013 bestseller The Real Meal Revolution.Paediatric dietician Kath Megaw along with food writers Phillippa Cheifitz, Jane-Anne Hobbs and Daisy Jones authored the book, due for release in August.Meanwhile, Noakes and his The Real Meal Revolution co-author Jonno Proudfoot have parted ways with Quivertree, and will be publishing their new recipe book, Raising Superheroes, in September.

I don't even want to link this book with Banting. It's not Banting at all."It's a very rational form of Banting if you want to call it that."I don't think we should bant our kids. We should feed them good fats and low-carb unprocessed foods," said Megaw...
