In the Netherlands they weigh kids once or twice a year in school. If theyâre fat little cunts the school sends a letter home to the parents advising them of their height, weight, bmi, the correct weight for a child of that age/height, the amount and type of exercise the child should be doing and the amount and type of food a child should be eating, with additional dietary and cooking advice.
Good system.
The Brits are going apeshit about âbody shamingâ at the moment -fat cunts.
You get cunts coming into the house handing out chocolate bars, fizzy drinks, crisps and the like to the kids then to try and curry a bit of favour with them. Fuck off you prick and spend a bit of time engaging with them and they might interact with you, you donât need to coax them with sugar.

I shudder when i see my auld fellaâs diet. Wheetabix in the morning, a fag and a cup of coffee. More coffee, fags and biscuits to bring him up to dinner time. All he wants then is bacon and cabbage. Spuds are essential no matter what. The mother got into making Spaghetti Bolognese a few years ago. Heâll only eat it if she cooks a few spuds as well, then he switches spuds for the spaghetti part and eats spuds and mince. Same with a pasta dish, heâll switch spuds for the pasta. Two mugs of milk with the dinner. Coffee and fags and biscuits up to supper time. All he knows and has ever known for his supper is something involving two slices of bread. A sandwich with whatever meat is in the fridge. A few pints. Bed. Repeat.
These fellas like my father ye all know them they are all out there, itâs just bad education regarding food and the habits of 60+ yrs of bad eating. He wonât eat fruit as he makes out it gives him âindigestionâ.[/QUOTE]
Thereâs loads of people out there with far worse diets than that.
I donât see how eating reasonably healthily should be that difficult to do.
Eat brown bread instead of white. Donât eat box cereals. Cut down on fizzy drinks. Stop eating processed shit out of a box. Grill meat instead of frying it. Every Spar or Centra has a deli counter where you can get a healthy roll. Theyâre all easy changes.

Fucking cunts.
Safety/mollycoddling - kids donât play outside anymore (kids who have to wear helmets are less likely to ride bikes - a fall off a bike is statistically less likely to kill you than obesity)
Availability of sweets/treats - in my day there were crisps/sweets bought but a limited amount and they were for the week so you rationed them out and when they were gone they were gone - learned delay gratification too
Portion sizes - adults portion sizes are too big and often kids are given portion sizes way too big
Making different dinners for kids - if you come in after a days work you donât have resolve to negotiate food with a child so kids meals are often treat meals all the time - chips, nuggets, pizza etc

This one is a bit of a challenge and takes planning. A few hours prep on a Saturday doing some bulk dishes and freezing them works well.

What a father 
You cunts arenât listening at all⌠Immediate diet has an effect but foetal development and eating habits learned in the womb are as important if not more⌠Also, as spelled out, the genes you pass on are not set in stone, you could feed the cunts the best grub in the world but pass on a terrible sequence of DNA due to your own lifestyle and they could be prone to weight⌠Typical Paddy reaction here trying the counter the damage when it has been already done.
I gave my 8 month old chocolate at the weekend
Typical negative Limerick mindset. Donât try and enforce your depraved, downtrodden attitude on us pal

[QUOTE=âTess Tickle, post: 1135518, member: 2269â]Would kids lining up in Spar and these places at lunch-time for a bit of grub, some sausage rolls or chicken rolls be a bit of peer pressure for want of a better phrase? Or a better phrase might be a sheep mentality? When i was going to secondary school everyone bar book nerds really went into the town at lunch-time and bought something and hung around outside shops, up against walls and the like eating stuff. I never saw anyone saunter into town with a lunch box full of mammies sandwiches.
Also @HBV* made an excellent point earlier about vending machines and tuck shops in school. These should be banned from schools and furthermore the work place, the ones filled only with junk such as chocolate bars and crisps should be banned by any well meaning boss or principal. Again going back to my day in school there was a tuck shop and weâd line up at 11am break to buy cream eggs, stinger bars, mars bars, maltesers etc. We had a canteen too but all they sold were hot dogs, sausage rolls, pizza and chips etc. It was naive stuff but those were the times and that is not long ago. I hope that isnât still going on still in schools but suspect it is?[/QUOTE]
Two problems here. Loads of school canteens sell chips, sausage rolls and chicken fillet rolls and nothing else.
Many kids get given cash instead of lunch.
Also, iâm pretty sure it was in the papers recently that schopls will continue with vending machines full of shit.

Same goes for restaurants with Kids menuâs with all that crap on them. Restaurants should just have child portions of each of the meals on a menu.

I have to say when I was growing up I dont ever remember a vending machine in a school I was in? When did this happen and are they in every school?
my 2 year old isnât near fat bit iâd be worried about her appetiteâŚyesterday evening in space of 3 hours she ate 2 apples, then a full red pepper, then came back for some yellow pepper, a few gherkins and then had her tea - a plain one egg and parsley omelette before hitting the hayâŚsheâs a great eater but iâd worry about her appetitie âŚthe missus says she needs all that while growing but iâd have reservationsâŚ
I wouldnât be worried Scumpot, thatâs all healthy food.
:rolleyes:
I miss you, mate.
They came around the time o was leaving in 96.
Yes, every school has them.
I know it is pal but the paw is always out⌠:mad:
iâd worry that even though its healthy itâs still a lotâŚ
