AIBU to think that Heston Blumenwhatsit is having a terrible influence on the kids!!

[SallyBeth]

I'm just watching Heston on channel 4, where he is designing a sweet shop. As part of this, he went into a school, and had a big conversation with the kids about how lovely sweets and chocolate are, and then got them to design their perfect sweet. AIBU to think that this was a terrible idea? If my DC were in that class, and came home talking all about how great sweets were, and how they wanted chocolate and sweets, I would be fuming! Surely this is a pretty irresponsible thing to bring into the classroom?!

3 month old thread

Pootlebug - the voice of reason! Hurrah for some sugar sense

O noes refined sugar!

fluffyraggies this thread was revived because the OP had a very long thread about turning up for work drunk, which was all a 'joke' apparently.

It was odd that she felt rolling up to work pissed was ok, but was having a hissy fit over HBs sweets!

I love HB btw. As do my children.

He's great brings out the inner kid

yabu it was sweeties not crack sweets are nice children like sweets and im sure if those children had never had sweets they would have looked at him blankly and not responded, as I said sweeties are not crack

nods.

Encouraging kids to eat sweets is like encouraging a dog to sniff other dog's bollocks.
