I was doing my supermarket shopping today and saw this woman in the ASDA café when I was having my coffee, her son was eating the most massive plate of fish and chips that I have ever seen.
Honestly, does she want him to end up obese or something?!

An ASDA cafe that serves a massive plate of fish and chips?

Not likely.

Biscuit ooh it's been a long time since I gave one of those out!

Got sweet FA to do with you, could be a million reasons why, maybe the portion size took them by surprise, maybe he was just hungry Hmm

I hope this is meant as some sort of joke thread!

On the basis of someone you don't know doing something you have no idea is a regular occurrence you are making this assumption?

Have my first Biscuit.

I think we need to know whether the son was in a high chair and BLW, or 19 and in muddy rugby kit.

And now I want fish and chips.

That is the only unreasonable thing about what you posted.

You're going to get beaten by those who haven't read the other thread, though.

Maybe the child wanted fish rather than burgers, sausages or nuggets that usually make up the childrens' meals. Just because there was a large plateful it doesn't mean the child will eat it all. FWIW I often buy dd an adult sized meal because she prefers the choices offered she eats as much as she wants and leaves the rest. No big deal in my book.

My DC had two Subway cheese toasties for late breakfast then a Starbuck hot chocolate.

Are they being unreasonable because they told me I couldn't have a VegeDelite?

(I think so) Hmm
