Recommended Posts

<<... but either don't think they're "that bad" or that it "isn't a problem".>>

I don't see why not. It's been on the tellie enough over the years .... and these folks clearlt veg' out in front of the box rather a lot.

..... Give little Johnny a note to take home and he'll probably eat it....

W.T.F... So who's stupid enough to need a letter to tell that their kid is fat?

Nanny State, or what?



On the one hand I agree with it - schools are there to educate, and telling parents their kid is eating too much and exercising too little is no different than telling them their kid sucks at chemistry.

On the other hand the schools determine their meal menus based on cheapness, not on quality, so school meals are complete shit in most schools.
Plus many schools no longer have any playing fields for outdoor sports because they've all been sold to property developers to raise a quick buck for the local councils.

So whilst there are many incredibly stupid parents out there who really do need to be educated in their childrens health, the root of the problem is penny pinching over the years by the local governments IMO.

I always get a kick out of the false teeth provided by NHS, they really go all out, recreating that wide gap, mutiple rows of teeth, and slight brown hue.




:D:D:D:D:D

Depends how it's worded.



Exactly. You have to be careful how you present such deilcate information.

So if they get a letter saying that their little darling already weighs more than most members of the England Rugby squad, has the body fat percentage of a pork scratching, is in severe danger of not making it past his mid forties without both a heart bypass and gastric surgery, and will never see his own dick without the aid of several strategically plavced mirrors and they might start to take notice.



:D:D:D:D:D

That's perfect. They should send that.
