Whats everyone's opinion on this? I think they are being irresponsible parents. They are putting their kids on a one-way trip to heart disease. People wrote in to Look North BBC regional news last night, and this was the general opinion.
The crap these kids eat on a daily basis was demonstrated last night by Jamie Oliver himself, the demonstration of him chucking chips on a massive sheet, then mixing it with coke and gravy and crisps etc. The amount of fat, E numbers and additives is shocking. Then the school takes an independant pro-active approach, and the parents go mad! You'd think they'd be happy.
So what if little Tyrone doesn't like eating his greens? He'd better get used to it! "Tastes like cardboard" yeah . . because they've been eating additives and artificial flavours for so long, they dont know what real food tastes like! I bet all they eat at home is junk too . . . turkey twizzlers and chips every day. And the mum's excuse? "we haven't got time to cook a proper meal" or "Tyrone wont eat that stuff <salad>". Well they've somehow got time to take 2 hours out of their days to go and buy dinners for 100's of kids! When I was a lad (and i'm only 20!) I was made to eat my vegetables and salads and fruit. And I have grown into a relatively healthy adult. God knows what'd have happened to me if i had eaten nothing but crisps and turkey twizzlers.
The parents reckon its about the quality of the food on the new menu . . . but i dont think these parents will be happy until CHIPS are back on the school menu, and Tyrone is happy.
I'd be ashamed to live in Rotherham with this going on. And one of the letters sent to Look North was from someone in Rotherham, saying just this.
