Loads of this sounds like a piss-take e.g. the book title "Yummy! Every Parent’s Nutrition Bible" – sort of thing Christopher Morris would come up with.

don't get it... what's wrong with not wanting your kids to have tons of sugar?

pmsl! another priceless find cod!

Nothing, starlover. It's just that most of us don't then think it is OK to write a lot of Polly Filla excruciating twaddle about it and be paid to do so.

oooh, I LOVE very dark choc - for it's fantastic caffeine hit!!

ahhh but look at the joy you get from dissecting it! lol

It was teh self-congratulatory tone of the article and the references to inferior quality confectionary that got me.

FFS - a sweet is a sweet is a sweet!

And the fact that she gets paid to write such twaddle.

Ah I don't care what people feed their kids, but its the preciousness of the article. I'm still sniggering at eating sweets being linked to low IQ.

starlover I couldn't even bring myself to read it, silly mare that she has to be.
I am just judge judge judging away based on other people's sensible response to this article.
And yes, I am a right moaner at my children about sweeties

She writes really good articles!!

Cod is just being snide as she has had an overdose of E numbers and sugar this morning.

It wasn't even well written imo

Starlover - I took DS to McD for a Happy Meal yesterday - (stopped at a 'drive-thru', actually - even the spelling makes me shudder) for the first time in his almost 5 years - would you PAY to read about what I thought, how I felt, how DS re-acted?

I do hope not , it's too BORING and predicatable and we've heard it all before.

I am seeking balance..link to good article polease.. or pref the anecdote about the danish pastry

Presumably she was maxed out on mung beans and quinoa and her IQ took a temporary hit GDG

that was my favourite bit too

especially as it is 'suspected of having a bearing on low IQ'

i.e. there is no evidence at all and I thought I'd throw that in to give more weight to my mindless article

I'd pay blu! Dish, dish, dish, by e-mail if you'd rather

I did like her when she wrote for the Observer - better than the insufferable John Briffa, anyway.

zippi - I will search after my lunch, off to Pret for my Miso soup

It was just a plug for her book anyway wasn't it.
I don't mind the article as it's probably quite true but i do get a bit sick of the rules of Parenting every where you look.
Like nowadays we wouldn't have a clue what to do without a written rule for everything.

Then again i'm probably the total opposite of that too as i dwell on things and research them to death.

so it's more her, and how she says it, rather than what she has to say?

jane clarke has a child????

blu, someone has CORRRECTED drive thru to THROUGH at Haringey MacD's

It's the self righteousness of her attitude. How her parenting must be superior to everyone else's and how darling Maya will inevitably benefit. Can see some logic to it but please !

Who are these healthy adults who react to a bit of chocolate with shaking, headaches and being shattered? It's not normal, I tell you - and if anyone's in any doubt I will happily scoff a bar at lunch time to prove it to you!

The woman clearly has a flimsy constitution.
