Middle-class wankers

Posted on July 18, 2015 by KG

There’s a lot of ’em.
‘What a healthy and an unhealthy lunch box looks like’
What a pile of steaming horsecrap. Most kids are very active and will burn whatever fuel they’re given. The lunchbox shown as “unhealthy” would be perfectly adequate in sufficient quantities.
And how many working parents with several children would have the time to make the recommended lunch? Not many.
I am so bloody sick of these purse-lipped, lecturing, hectoring self-righteous assholes telling the rest of us how we should live, and ignoring the successful record of our forbears when it comes to raising kids.

    Articles like this make me want to reach for my revolver. I wish we could sterilise dead-headed people and let the rest of us just get on with normal lives. Of course we could just ignore this crap. I did and have a gorgeous, firebreathing 23 year old who will carry on Mum’s ideas. Of course 23 year olds are ignorant by old peoples’ standards(mine) but at least she has a head start.

      She’s lucky, Mara. I pity the kids whose mothers buy into this hysterical, patronising garbage.

    What a load of food nazi crap!

    The ‘unhealthy’ lunch is what my kids get every day, minus the juice. One of the schools has passed comment that he gets ‘ beautiful lunches’ . That aside, he wouldn’t eat the other shit.
    They don’t like carrot sticks, hummus, plain yogurt or wholemeal bread.

    The frickin busybody food fascist should confine her whinging to so- called parents that don’t feed their offspring!

    What Os said, exactly.

    Let’s review the “healthy” lunch option, shall we (and leave aside for a moment the fact that more than half of it would come home uneaten, because it ain’t what kids want to eat).

    The wholegrain wrap with leftover chicken could potentially result in food poisoning. The chicken has presumably been in the fridge overnight, removed, wrapped in lettuce (which kids won’t eat) and a wholemeal wrap (which kids won’t eat), then placed into the child’s lunchbox at, say, 7am. If lunch is at 12:30, that means the chicken has been sitting in a warmer-than-room-temperature environment for more than 5 hours. Result: child spends the following week in hospital with a tube down their throat.

    So, they shouldn’t eat the wrap, even if they were inclined. Which they’re not.

    If you’re lucky enough to have a kid who will eat anything, then maybe – maybe – the crackers and hummus will disappear. More likely because the choice will be either eat the crackers and hummus, or starve.

    The yoghurt, as with the chicken, will have spent more than 5 hours in a warmer-than-room-temperature environment which means, unless it was frozen when it was inserted into the lunchbox, it will be warm and disgusting come lunch time.

    The strawberries will be warm, slushy and inedible by lunch time, and if you can get a kid to eat raw capsicum, I’ll give you a medal.

    Effing nanny-state half-wits, trying to starve my child!

        There are plenty of North Koreans who live on a fraction of that! And look at them. Zero percent body fat! Why, if those sanctions were dropped then they’d be flooding the catwalks of Milan!

        What’s more, you don’t hear them complaining, do you?

      I detest the stench of garlic, it really sends me up the wall. I can imagine a school classroom after a lunch of hummus, there’d be clouds of gas and an overwhelming odour of garlic. These kids will grow up to be bearded (girls too)wearing fair-isle jumpers and beads. Kids can eat practically anything provided they race about in fresh air wearing it off.

        “Kids can eat practically anything provided they race about in fresh air wearing it off.”
        YES!

    I had a friend who was a working mum, and she taught her two boys to make their own lunches.
    After a very short time, they were making perfectly healthy lunches, choosing their own ingredients. Both have grown into big, strong healthy men.
    Funny, that…..http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    Well, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised, if a bunch of kids get together and beat the tar out of those teachers who are trying to implement this nonsense. Maybe then they’ll see reason.

    They’ve banned corporal punishement on kids, so what is to stop them taking advantage of their privileges.
