To be disappointed/peed off with CBeebies?

[ButterfliesAreWeird]

Today I bought my son the monthly CBeebies magazine and this was smack bang in the middle of it. It was supposed to be about doctors but this is just promoting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, ect. I'm no vegan but I know when I'm sitting there eating a cheese and egg sandwich that it's not good for me, yet this is stating it's vital to have 2 unhealthy groups of food each day to be healthy. This gos against the NHS, the WHO, and just science in general. I would have expected this 10 years ago but it's 2017 and we know better.

meat and dairy are majorly unhealthy

they shouldnt be promoted as "healthy" foods

Which are the 2 unhealthy food groups?

A cheese and egg sandwich is all kinds of wrong.

Not in the way that you think op.

But it's wrong all same

I don't we the issue with the picture!

Cheese and egg in a sandwich together?

Well thats shocking, I'm not exaggerating. In the past few years they have proved meat, eggs, and dairy cause heat disease, diabetes, and cancers. Also just a side, leafy greens a the best source of calcium

So we should all be vegan? And that’s what CBeebies should be promoting?

Your mix of sandwich fillers is the bit that jumps out to me. Cheese and egg? Together? Sounds grim.

They've 'proved' nothing of fhe sort

Never mind the cheese..just go for the egg because as we all know one egg is 'an oeuf'!!!

Eh? I’m a veggie who is almost vegan apart from cheese (because basically my body hates me and I can eat bugger all) and I could really do with more calcium and even I know kids need to eat a balanced diet from the different food groups.

Proved, OP? So, there is consistent, irrefutable proof that these specific foods cause those diseases across all tested subjects?

Would toddlers be better to just eat lettuce?

You say you’re not vegan, op, so what foods do you eat that don’t include meat, dairy and eggs?

Egg mayo with some grated cheese and some tiny chunks of red onion is a filler of gods, plenty of black pepper and maybe some crispy bacon....

Who 'proved' that? Vegans?

Well in that case I'm going to stop giving my Tod any milk and she can have a rocket and kale side salad before bed.

Looking at that picture, it’s not at all suggesting a heavy meat/dairy diet at all. Aren’t you more concerned about that extremely heavy carb/gluten group?

Meh. OP sounds like one of these kale-enemas-and-mindfulness types who'se more likely to raise DC with food issues than someone who feeds them a mix of different things and doesn't fuss about it.

it's been 'proved' has it - do please link

a balanced diet is fine - too much of anything is not good

YABU

Young children need a balanced diet including all food groups.

I could understand your objection more if you were actually vegan, but you’re just coming across as a fruit loop

Meat, eggs and dairy do not cause cancer, diabetes and heart disease. 'They' have proved no such thing.

In the past few years they have proved meat, eggs, and dairy cause heat disease, diabetes, and cancers

Bollocks have they

I'm shocked at all the eggs and cheese combo comments ... Cheese omelette anyone? Mmmmmmmmm

Please get a grip... upset with a magazine over something so pointless.. I ask you!
