Health eating in schools is getting ridiculous!

What an outrageous abuse of authority. It's no wonder there's no longer the respect for the teaching profession that was once inherent.

I agree. I do wonder whether they do have the authority.....

I notice the headmaster standing outside my son's secondary school the other day as he thinks some children have been ringing up the pizza delivery instead of school dinners! My youngest with special needs (one of his problems is taking things too literally) is covering healthy eating in science this term. He will not touch chips now as teacher said they are unhealthy (we have them about once a month, if that). He told me he is only going to eat vegetables and fruit as they are healthy, he thinks he's got to stop eating meat. School have been a pain in the neck over this. Ashley takes things that they say as gospel and what I say is nonsense in his eyes. I know how to feed my children healthy food, I've got Glen with a heart condition for goodness sake, watching his weight, salt and sugar intake very carefully. Where the problem lies is with the parents who dont give a damn about their children and it tars us all with the same brush. Sorry to rant about my personal case, but in your shoes I would have been extremely angry with the teacher. It must have confused your daughter who thought she was (and is) eating something very healthy.

I The example recently of the parents popping down the chippy at lunchtime for the kids who were only being offered healthy food at school, but didn't like it was just amazing,

i thought those parents should have been totally ashamed with themselves

my dd hates veg and what i call a proper meal( meat veg and potatoes) but im afraid shes encouraged to eat it every week or she would just eat rubbish
