To HATE change for life

[nogwells]

I was in Somerfield supermarket and what pipes up on the store radio some awful crap from 'change for life' lets play the smart swap or something SEETHE I could write a big series of swears here I really could! Lets change white bread to brown bread (brown.....brown spits ??) and lets change sugary drinks to fruit juice... ( which is a very naturally sugary drink FFS) ARRRRRRRRRRGH honestly I could feel my face smirking with disdain... sickening crud. My partner filled in his sons details on their website once while it was all new, he was 11 then DSS, oh dear he really should get up and be more active... hmmm.... funny that... he is a sports mad hyperactive, oh but for ten minutes of him sitting down when he isn't eating... but NO! Up he must get and run about... the fat lazy little bug. [hmmm] The questions seemed to make everyone look like they needed the advice and that to me doesn't seem a healthy practice at all! So ner! (rant over)

Didn't even fill it in for the girls, both 3.

Didn't buy brown bread, do they still make it?....Wholemeal isn't it?? (Grandad eats brown bread.. aw..he calls it that..he must be down with the kids) bought a basket load of absolute crap tho. Ha! change for life! (I didn't really altho did get pom bear)

Perhaps change for life has helped some people out but it just irks me. Irks me until I say FFFFFFs

I think you need a hobby.

I know... I'm usually a sane and collected normal type of person... just ranting.... yes.. :)

Hahaa

I find it a particularly irritating and dumbed down campaign, but its possibly not trying to target people like me

I think there are some good things about it - I liked the ad which was basically saying dont give your kids the same sized portions you have and then make them eat it - they need a "me" sized plate, etc. Of all the mistakes parents make, its often having a skewed idea of how much kids should be eating in terms of portions and what the "correct" portions of things are for an adult let alone a child.

I think the primary colored figurines and cartoon shite and silly veg stickers and northern accents are all a bit cack, basically.
