ASDA has been banned from advertising whole milk during children's telly programmes?

here

Personally I'd rather my kids drank whole milk than ate crappy white bread or drank nutrasweet fortified chemical water.

it is now official the lunatics have taken over the asylum! My dd1 is already get confused about what is healthy thanks to the idiots at her school.

If government is not careful we will end up with a load of nutotic kids worried about what to eat, or it will go the other way and they won't give a f..k

my dd1 is 5 and i am already having to explain the principles of a balanced diet to her! Thankfully i have studied nutrition and told her in a way that she would understand. But still she said , "but mum school said....". I have told her that mummy knows what she is talking about and if school want to discuss my choices further i will come in and talk to them.

Perhaps the amount of air time given to commercials ought to refect this food pyramid . You know, 6-11 servings = 6-11 minutes of air time and so on. Oh wait, that would be sensible.

"mummy knows what she is talking about and if school want to discuss my choices further i will come in and talk to them. "

Incidentally, I got a survey this week from DDs school asking if we would be happy to go from school dinner to sandwiches. No where on the form did it ask us about the nutritional content and if we were happy about that. So I turned the form over and wrote an essay on the back about how if people were not taking up the school dinners (which is what prompted the survey) perhaps they might consider the content of the dinners rather than whether it is a cooked meal versus a sandwich.

In fact, if anyone on here is in the Richmond Borough, could please have a look here at my thread about the survey.

This is an absolute JOKE. Can we complain to the Food Standards Agency? I am sick of their hypocrisy surrounding food

Yes, 'diet' drinks are apparently 'healthy'.

FFS.

DD1 drinks whole milk and she's nearly 4 because she's skinny as a whippet.
