Perhaps I live in some pocket of aberrance in the space/time continuum, but the primary school my youngest two attend is quite happy to give out sweets, chocolate etc as rewards or prizes.<BR/><BR/>Bizarrely, with the little tykes being openly encouraged to run around like nobody's business with half an eye cast over them occasionally at breaktime, there're a grand total of about two seriously fat kids in the whole school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-68082849458755467602008-09-09T16:00:00.000+01:002008-09-09T16:00:00.000+01:00He's probably lucky not to be defined as a 'child-...He's probably lucky not to be defined as a 'child-abuser' giving them things that are notionally bad for them. Then the papers could run the circular headline "90 year-old child abuser found giving sweeties to local children", and he could be beaten to death by people 'defending their local community against anti-social behaviour' as approved by HMG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-41195476344541896742008-09-09T14:02:00.000+01:002008-09-09T14:02:00.000+01:00Chocolate is stuffed full of antioxidants, vitamin...Chocolate is stuffed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and calcium for growing bones. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, you've got to buy the good stuff. That includes the fair-traded and producer-supplied things such as a fantastic Madagascan where all the profits go to the owner occupier. It is an eco-friendly ambrosial health food. The government ought to be giving it out to children and especially women on rafts. <BR/><BR/>I intend to campaign to have NICE approve taxpayer-funding for this medically justifiable nutriceutical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-18329658450785939712008-09-09T13:57:00.000+01:002008-09-09T13:57:00.000+01:00Forget about the little drone - where are the pare...Forget about the little drone - where are the parents and the other governors on this one? They should tell Mr Brook where to shove his guidelines. In reality - even with this lot in power - what are the government going to do? Prosecute Mr Brook and Mr Peters for food-crime? I don't think so - and, anyway, what's "unhealthy" about chocolate?<BR/><BR/>As you imply it's not the facts of this which are disturbing (although they're bad enough): it's the immediate cringe and complete surrender to bureaucratic diktat which is frightening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-62716477688535540302008-09-09T13:52:00.001+01:002008-09-09T13:52:00.001+01:00Exactly.
