Limit treats (just don’t call them that): Children don’t need a pudding after every lunch and dinner, so if you’re in this habit, try to break it and give them plain yoghurt with fruit instead, with ice-cream being a twice a week treat. “And don’t call them ‘treats’,” says Roberts, “otherwise they’ll see their main meal as something to endure, in order to get to the sugary ‘treat’.”

They did at least say plain yogurt, rather than the pre-sweetened fruit flavored stuff that has a teensy tiny bit of fruit and lots of sugar to make the sour yogurt more palatable.
I definitely agree about the potatoes and pasta though - but then those are considered to be ultimate healthy foods - veggies (oh yes, potatoes are considered to be a vegetable these days!) and grains, with little to no fat! As far as protein is concerned, they're not really concerned about that - there's no longer any percentage of RDA for protein provided on nutrition stat labels.
