why d o poeple wtill not knwo how to cook themselves normal healthy food

why do they have to buy branded type of yogutry things or weiry "Healthier than ever " bread"

ok we may not eat helthily all the time but we dont need to buy food that makes us healthy do we?

Just thinking about the removal of cooking from the school curriculum.
I bet when they were developing the national curriculum, some bloated readymeal baron slipped the government a million quid in brown paper bags to take cooking off.

Absobloodylutely Kathy.

(NB uwila, I knew spuds were a starch source and not a fruit. Hence the big wink)

I am SO smug today:
It is because of my ketchup intake that I do not have prostate cancer
and
It is because I cannot stand the simpering of that Petit Filous ad child that DS has never had any!!

I do buy petit filou btw, I don't think sugar is the end of the world but I don't claim to think they're a health food, absolutely not!

LOL at benefits of Blu's ketchup intake.
So glad you do not have prostate cancer, Blu.

I am at a loss as to why some people feed their kids only junk and ready meals - my children do not have a 'perfect' diet but I do look at labels and think about each meal I give them. Most meals I make take 30 minutes or less to prepare. I do allow some sugary treats but feel I am making an informed choice - the information is there, but some people choose to ignore it or maybe they just dont understand it but TBH I find that hard to swallow - I honestly think people are just incerdibly lazy. I watched a 'kids fit club' programme on Discovery H & H today and the boy on it was tucking into a snack consisting of 2 slices of white bread, lashings of butter and 5 sausages and the family didnt even own a chopping board because all they ate was ready meals and no veg! Shocking, really shocking. Not any wonder the wee boy was a porker!

they were probably the micro sausages mentioned in hunkers post!

dgs loves mango

I think sugar is not such an evil in moderation butI'm not keen on artificial sweeteners and it always seems a bit unnecessary to have products containing both

I think there is widespread ignorance about food
