sums it up really. the level of education there is staggering. there is so much wrong with yer one and that article its unreal. so much incrrect things there taken as fact. 3 fillets for âŹ7.50? me fucking hoop.
adults can choose to eat shit and crap, kids cant. its up to parents to give them the best healthy options and they will eat it. my own little one loves raw carrot and she goes through heaps of sultanas and raisins. I know of someone who was telling me recently they bring their 2 year old to mcdonalds at least once a week, and they dont live in a town where it might be a walk away from them or anywthing. They drive a good bit to get there just to get her Mcdonalds.[/quote]
There isnât even a reply section :mad:
If You go into any butchers now and you can get ten chicken fillets for 10notes. The market here in Limerick, which isnt exactly cheap tbf, has fresh fish stalls where you can get a bag of hake/plaice for 5notes (4 pieces) You can also pick up enough fruit and veg to last a family of 4 the week for 10euro. I usually get 6 apples, bunch of bananas, head of broccoli and strawberries for 5/6 notes. If I left out the srawberries youâd easily get in a bunch of carrots, cauliflower and cabbage for the same price.
The options for healthy food are there alright.
Its some battle alright and takes buckets of patience.
Our lady went through that picky period for about 6 months. For that period she lived on Blueberries, Goats milk & Scrambled eggs.
Now she is mad for Salmon and Lamb and is demanding toast all dayâŚFucking white bread, the greatest cunt of a drug that ever entered the human diet.
Fresh food at itâs best.
Kids should be encouraged to eat more garlic and less salt.
Iâd love to grow my own- Garlic that is⌠Have you a link to any literature giving advice on this matter?
thereâs salt in fuckin everythingâŚsugar tooâŚeven if you try to make your own pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes you have to add a few spoons of sugar to offset the acidity of tomatoesâŚ
Another big issue is portion sizes - most people have no idea how big a portion size should be and less again for a child and end up with portion sizes that are two or three times bigger than they should be.
They must be some lethal acidic tomatoes youâre using, I wouldnât add sugar to anything.
Growing your own food as a hobby is a great way to instill good eating habits into kids. If you grow your own food, you appreciate it more and it also forces you to become more creative in how you use it, as you tend to get a lot of it coming ripe at the same time. Iâve had a great year with tomatoes, chilis, beans, onions and lettuce this year with the fine weather. Thanks to some over zealous pruning last autumn my plum tree failed to produce anything, but should be back to form next year. However the best harvest yet from my apple trees has more than made up for this.
If you any kind of room at all in a garden, an apple tree or a plum tree is a great way to get kids to appreciate fruit.
I actually add lemon juice to pasta sauce rather than sugar.
Thereâs a thread on it. The original âFAO ofâ thread.
Former poster the runt was the expert on garlic growing.
are you being serious??..you never heard of pure tomato sauce needing a few spoons of sugar to balance the acidity ??..google it
Iâve heard of it, but I completely disagree with it. Tomatoes will vary so this may need to be done to taste, adding it as standard is very wrong. I donât add sugar to anything though, if I added sugar to a tomato sauce it would be practically all I could taste and I would find it disgusting.
@Mark Renton
Itâs actually the ideal time of year to be thinking about planting garlic.
Try to have it set out before the frost arrives.
I import garlic wholesale but customs duties are savage so I declare it as onions. Revenue are unlikely to care.
Iâve come to the conclusion that you have the constitution of a mountain goat

Correct. Actually cheaper to eat more healthily if you have time. Youâd make a massive pot of vegetable soup for. Couple of euro that would do you for lunch all week. Bag of porridge is few euro breakfast for family for week etc.
Local womenâs group at home that mother is in started giving âpracticalâ cookery classes. Mother said it is unreal amount of younger people wouldnât have first clue how to make soup, shepards pie etc. should be required to be taught in school
Loads of people send their teen student kids to the classes pre college.
