[cod]

but I do draw the line at Maya tucking into low-quality confectionery

[cod]

hahahahaha
forst time mum

[cod]

no one?

[FrayedKnot]

FGS give her a packet of Haribo and shut up!

[LIZS]

pmsl. "low-quality confectionery " ! we lived in the land of Lindt and Sprungli - ds first school was near the fatory , ah the smell... - and still hankered after Dairy Milk and galaxy!

[cod]

ONE sweet a WEEK!?
what planet is she on

[zippitrippitoes]

snorts sceptically..how old is this maya, eating sugar in food is far from the worst thing that can happen imo

[cod]

I’d like to think, though, that Maya will enjoy so many other foods and feel a food reward is just as valid if it’s a bowl of raspberries or some Medjool dates.

[cod]

ponce

pmal at FrayedKnot, reminds me of the Peter Kay sketch about Pensioners moaning, 'shut the f* up and have a Solero!'

[cod]

OH PMSL cod. Beautiful. I suspect this mother doesn't have enough to worry about. I PMLS at sugar "is suspected of having a bearing on low IQ". Ha ha I will tell dh the sweet king that tonight. IN unexpected places such as medicines!! How mcuh medicine does she give her child? Better sugar than aspartame!

[cod]

i always giev em calpol woht sugar in
least you knwo whats what
a nd fgs suigar makes you feel better than sweetener ( ther wa rresearch into sugar as a pain killer i read!!)

i LOVE hte times at the moemnt
they need a ponce alarm

[lummox]

If I got shaky and felt shattered after eating sweets I would go to the doctor.

Mind you, plenty of fun to be had for Maya as she grows up spiking her mother's food with crushed up Smarties

[cod]

lol
( oh mums off on one again)

[Angeliz]

DP bought me some fruit juice yesterday as i'm always thirsty. It had aspartame in!

[MrsBadger]

Having a nutritionist for a mum can't be much fun - I have a feeling she named the poor child after the Green&Blacks chocolate...

[colditz]

Someone needs to take some money off this lady, to give her something to really sink her worrying teeth into!

[zippitrippitoes]

there seems to be a whole world of journalists who have kids in order to write about them...a sort of media version of desinger baby as accessory..

[Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads]

what was she using to sweeten mayas food? carrots? ROFL.

[Angeliz]

I'm off to have a jam donut.

[foxinsocks]

I loved reading this this morning

hhmmm Medjool dates vs chocolate buttons...that's a hard one for a 3 yr old

I think she missed the point somewhat. It's not the sweets we really need to worry about - at least we know what they are! It's all the hidden sugars/sweeteners in things like cornflakes/other cereals/ready meals that are quite astounding.

[Angeliz]

'No Darling you can't have that delicious caramel bar but here, have a carrot as it's full of beta carotine and will keep you regular'

[oliveoil]

I won't have a bad word said about this woman cod, she is fabulous

I do remember once though, many moons ago, when she did an article whereby she had a danish pastry at a friend's house and 'instead of eating half, I had the whole one and had to lie down in the afternoon' .

Ahem, but I do think she is fab.

cod, stop reading the Times
It is doing your fishy brain in.
