I always type crisps as crips too, how spooky.
I was thinking about this this morning - well, not the contents of Boy Blu's lunchbox/carrier bag, I'm not psychic.
Someone said on one of the judging threads (or maybe one of the anti-judging threads, I lose track) that you can't tell when someone is walking out of a shop, sausage roll in hand, whether that's indicative of a poor diet in general (tantamount to neglect, child abuse and quick call the Sausage Roll Abuse Subdivision of Social Services) or if they had organic oatmeal and fruit out of the Abel and Cole box for breakfast that morning. Very true, I thought, as I prepared ds1s packed lunch. Some Mumsnetters would judge me very harshly for ds1s packed lunches: he does not eat fruit (no, not any) so every day he has a roll (sometimes it's white, shoot me!) with ham (posh ham, not floppy ham), cheese, tuna or smoked salmon on it. He has a carton of fresh orange juice, a flapjack or little cake or chocolate biscuit and a bag of crisps. Yes he has crisps every day. So do I. Sometimes I have two bags. Ha! I laugh in the face of the Crisp Abuse Subdivision of Social Services. He won't eat raw salad stuff - so no carrot sticks, celery, peppers or cucumber find their way into his lunchbox. The only vegetable matter to be found in there is if he has sweetcorn with his tuna. It's a pretty terrible lunchbox.
But he eats really well at home - he likes most vegetables (including spinach, asparagus and cabbage), he'll happily tuck into a roast dinner, curry, pasta or lentil hotpot or dhal...there really isn't a lot he won't eat...except things that make lunchboxes more appealingly healthy!
So Judge Me Not by the contents of my son's lunchbox!
Was that a rant? I don't care. My boy eats sprouts.
