to wonder why there are blackberries going bad whilst people complain that they don't have enough money to feed their family healthy food.

[froken]

We went blackberry picking today, I was expecting a couple of manky blackberries to be left because I hear so often in the media and on mumsnet people saying how they struggle to feed their dc healthy food and sometimes people saying they have a hard time finding enough money to feed their dc at all.

There was a huge amount of blackberries, we were a 20 min walk outside a major city so an easily accessible place for 1000s of families.

We picked 9 pounds of blackberries.

Aibu to think that it would be a good idea for those struggling to feed their family a healthy diet (and those struggling to feed their family at all) should be out picking the free fruit that grows all over England's public spaces?

ooh i wouldn't mind a JOtwizzler.

better still we could EAT the poor people! double bonus! a) free nutritious food, b) saving the economy from the feckless vampire like suckling upon us poor hard working folk.

i reckon so long as you only preyed upon the long term unemployed they wouldn't even think of sending you to prison.

Vault - there was a Viz years ago, which featured a plane crashing in the Andes and Jamie Oliver happened to be on board. Apparently, his tongue was enough to feed everyone.

"I don't think people should eat blackberries for breakfast lunch and dinner but they are a lovely snack and they are free.

I took my 10 year old little sister and my baby in a sling, my Grandma and mum also came, it was a really nice day out.

I grew up in poverty, we picked blackberries, it was tge only timevwe ever had pudding."

You have, presumably, quantum jumped from the pages of a Catherine Cookson novel?

three generation rested meat with malingerer mash

indeed curlew - she had a dinner of herbs!

The point is Op, if everyone on benefits followed you're 'advice' and went out to pick all this free fruit, they'd get about one whole blackberry each.

Yum yum, that would keep them going for at least, erm, 2 seconds.

Let them eat dust I say. Much more accessible- it's free in your house, so the lazy fuckers shouldn't have to even get for the fecking sofa.

Problem solved.

ahh valpolicella that's the prettiest way i've ever seen that said

Three generation rested meat is possibly my favourite so far.

Val.

What makes you think people don't do that when they have the opportunity op? I used to hang round the supermarket skips waiting for staff to dump the food, and plenty of people I know did the same (until the supermarkets started crushing it, bastards). And nettle soup was a staple part of our diets. But its not really enough. I was hungry most of the time in those days.

Lol at the Jamie tongue and at Val!

Is that copy and pastable?

9lbs equals 1700 calories apparently excuse - i doubt dust would come in at much less.

and i'm pretty sure there are far more calories in jamieburgers.

smug bastard burgers with fucking fat twat fries.

Ta SaF

I could ahve spent LONG time tying out a well thought out argument. But recki the rest of the thread has it covered and a PassAgg pictirial would cover it off for all of us
