This article starts:

"Two mums are organising junk food runs to a South Yorkshire school - because they don't agree with its healthy eating policy."

I can't believe that this is happening, and that they're so proud of themselves that it's in the paper!

We are talking Rawmarsh though. Nuff said.

Why can't they just feed their kids lots of processed fatty crap at home?

And they could let their kids come home for dinners.

I'd be fuming if my kid was at that school and parents were coming to feed their offspring rubbish.

I thought this was some kind of Brass Eye inspired joke.

Sadly not.

I've never read anything as stupid!! They complain when they eat unhealthy food and junk.........now they complain about healthy food, whatever next, madness!!

So... they WANT their kids to die of a heart attack when they hit 40?

What a brilliant, brilliant article.

What next? Fag runs? White Lightning drop offs?

I just slapped a carrot out of my three year olds hand and FORCED her to eat a fried mars bar!

I was shocked to read that article too. Particularly the quotes:
Sam from Rawmarsh:
This is all down to that Jamie Oliver. Well I don't like him or what he stands for - he is forcing our kids to be more picky about their food and
Julie from Rawmarsh:
Kids need a bit of fat in their diet - there is nothing wrong with burgers and chips. At school they only get chips once a week if they are lucky

It would be funny if it wasnt so tragic! I dont think theres a single school-child in sheffield suffering from a fat deficiency - if they're genuinely concerned about falling fat levels in food, then they could just make sure their own darlings get a good deep-fried meal in the evening, and none of that salad muck. Chips only once a week!? how do those poor kids survive?!

I must say the image of the two of them with an old shopping trolley full of burgers and chips is both comic and tragic. Maybe its a wind up?

Some things never cease to amaze me!

As a friend said, when I told him this, they should give them a shopping trolley from Morrisons, that'll stop them because the trolley will just go round and round in circles!

The two mums say demand is so great they have had to start using an old supermarket trolley for their lunchtime deliveries.


Hmmm...an old supermarket trolley or a stolen one?

You couldn't make it up could you?

What a pair of brainless morons.

It's political incorrectness gone mad!:o

OH MY GOD, what a pair of stupid cows. They should have their children taken into care.

Like people have said, why cant they have the healthy meals at school, then at the weekend they can have a burger and chips as a treat. People are trying to teach kids about the values of food, and the consequences of obesity and eating junk food all the time at a young age, these women should be ashamed of themselves.

I for one support these mothers.

This whole healthy eating thing is political correctness gone mad. Who are they to tell us what we can feed our kids? Did our brave solidiers fight the facsists so that these food nazis could come and take away our freedoms?

:rant:

this is pathetic! get jamie oliver on their case

Are they comepletely insane?? What hope is there for the world - run! run far away!

I for one support these mothers.

:rant:

The point being here of course that 60 years ago rationing was still in place, people had more active lifestyles, there were hardly any TV's or video games......

People had to eat what they were given and could eat practically anything and still be slim due to the lack of couch potatoes.

Do you really want an obesity crisis in the NHS in 10 years time?

Makes kids more picky about food...?

...or they cant be bothered to give there kids food at home that has to be cooked/prepared any way other than in the micorwave...

I don't know about taking the kids away, the women should be sectioned to protect from themselves.

I for one support these mothers.

Do you mean take away our take aways...

lol. I'm glad I'm not alone in my thinking. I've just read the entire article in the Rotherham Advertiser.

Bizarre!

I dare say there'll be an upcoming appearance on Jeremy Kyle to promote their perspective too....maybe they could take the trolley - just for effect.

Frankly, I can't abide the cockney lisping Jamie Oliver thing, he's worse than fingernails on glass plate, but I do admire what he's trying to do with school meals (even if there is an element of self ego masturbation going on)

"They only get chips once a week"

Vile!

These women ought to be genuinely ashamed of themselves.

I for one support these mothers.

:rant:

Are you being sarcastic?
If not, it's not political correctness is it? It's cutting down on the amount of crap that schools have introduced into their diets.

At the end of the day, fatty foods such as burgers and chips everyday doesn't provide the necessary nutrition for growing children.

As already said, if these women are so worried about what their children are eating, either send them with a packed lunch, or feed them the fatty junk food when they get home.

Schools are feeding this because a lot of children will go to school and eat junk food, then go home and eat more junk food.

I don't have children, but if I did, I'd much rather they eat a healthy nutritious meal that would help them grow healthy and strong, than eat burgers and chips everyday.

When I was in school I never bought from the school cantine, never got the chance to have a hot meal at lunch time, I always had sandwiches because I didn't want to eat the junk that they served up everyday. Had I had the chance to go and get some proper nutritional food, I would've gone for it!

When I was at primary school you had no choice at all, one meal was provided, if you didn't like it you were hungry in the afternoon.

At secondary school the choice was chips, sausages, pizza, undercooked jacket potato's etc.

From what I can see these children are being offered a variety of tasty, healthy food to eat. These stupid women should be gratefull that someone cares enough about their children (more than they do it would seem) to see to it that they get one balanced meal a day.

I've just forwarded the article on to the people who head up the school food team in DfES......

What a pair of chuffs!, dont they look a gormless pair!:hihi: :rolleyes:

I'm torn between laughter at the gormless pair and despair at what their children are likely to end up like.

Wonder if they've ever had a fresh vegetable in their lives other than potato.

I for one support these mothers.

I support them too. It's all very well these la-di-da southerners telling us what we should eat but we know that kids need a thick coating of lard in their veins to protect them from harsh northern winters.

I just slapped a carrot out of my three year olds hand and FORCED her to eat a fried mars bar!

hmmmmmm deep fried mars bar

I don't know about taking the kids away, the women should be sectioned to protect from themselves.I think thats a very facist thing to say although it may be tongue in cheek you give no hint of this.All they are doing is giving their children junk food.If there was a rule in your work place you didn't agree with and you tried to bend it would you think that you should be sectioned.Its only unhealthy food-no big crime.

Secondly whilst i was doing the tteacher training course the school placements showed me one thing that the food thats served up is mostly cheap and overcooked and extremely small portions.
Its not just the ingrediants its how they are cooked.The vegatables still have to be in budget.I think healthy eating is a good thing but why is everyone so against other people not wanting to comply with tony Blairs eating policy for kids.

Just finally managed to stop laughing at these half-baked twerps after seeing the story on the local news!:hihi:

Aww, are poor little Tyrone and Chelsea not getting enough saturated fat to keep them wheezing away untill they get home for their microchips and blue cola?:hihi:

Keep on stuffing them with chips and see what pathetic little doughboys you breed you fools!:D

Can't believe there are people on here defending these fools!

And who said Food fascists??? What are doctors then, Health fascists??!!

relax, you'll give yourself a coronary, especially if you eat like those kids :hihi:

When we were at school we always had school dinners, as most of the other kids did. Overweight kids were few and far between. With the introduction of a fast food menu at schools over the latter years I think this has been the start of the problem with overweight kids as some will probably get the same at tea times as well. There is also not much sport or PE at schools either these days. I remember the schools sports day as being a major event of the school year. I don't think making sure school kids get at least one healthy meal a day - at school - is a bad idea and these women should be made to stop what they are doing and let the school get on with it. Or the school should let the parents take their own kids out for them to meet their own daily junk needs and leave the rest of the kids alone.

Can't believe there are people on here defending these fools!
Turn your sarcasm radar back on and you'll see that no-one in this thread is actually defending the muppets, tho it's funny to watch people think they are, lol. :)

Edit; actually cyberghost seems to think it's ok to let kids eta cr*p, have health problems and die young. :roll:

You sure? Hope you're right, even if does make me look a bit gullible! :D

My 8 year old may be in a minority (or maybe not), but when given the choice of McDonalds (a rare treat) or a £3.25 carvery at the Drawbridge, the Drawbridge wins hands down. There are kids out there who do actually enjoy healthy nutritious food, and not the fatty cr@p these stupid women advocate.

I must admit though, my son doesn't have school meals now because the portions are just too small.

I for one support these mothers.

Your post is a joke, right?

So, out of interest, what, and where do you teach?

When we were at school we always had school dinners, as most of the other kids did. Overweight kids were few and far between.

Our school meals were mostly chips and something else, and most of us were pretty healthy, but like you said we did PE and played out every night on bikes etc.

I'm not sure that feeding kids salad and letting them lay on the sofa playing video games all the time is better for them than letting them eat McDonals every day and having them do plenty of exercise.

I find it weird that people seem to believe that all weight problems are related to what you eat, and nothing else.

This may come as a surprise to you but there are food choices out there other than ‘salad’ and ‘chips’, whatsmore I suspect the nutritionists who devised the new healthy menus for school dinners are aware of many of them. As such I doubt that the idiotic mums in question were giving their kids the only alternative to salad.

relax, you'll give yourself a coronary, especially if you eat like those kids :hihi:Well i'm suprised you havent managed to give yourself one if you think people need locking up for eating chips

So, out of interest, what, and where do you teach?Out of interest i don't teach i had to finish my course due to stress as my ex violently attacked me I took a year out due to this but then i found i was pregnant with his child.Will be going back to this as soon as i have dealt with my reactive arthritis that has flared up though.
Out of interest Happy Hippy your slogan i was under the impression that this was IRAs slogan unofficially I thought you may not know

I find it worrying that these rather militant advocates of fatty foods organised a convoy of crap to be delivered to the schoolyard for their kids...such organisation and action in the name of stodge!:loopy:

If only we could be as quick to act in a decisive and positive manner when there's a real crisis afoot!:hihi:

What a chavtastic story!

What a chavtastic story!
How right you are.

I wonder if any of the parents of pupils at the school actually uttered the line: "Shut up complaining and eat the ruddy stuff!"

I only wondered; the age range of the kids you may have been teaching would have been interesting, but sadly it doesn't matter in this discussion ........ Eireann go Brach simply means 'Forever Ireland' in my native tongue. It has the same connotation as "Vive la France!". Read into it what you will.

Well i'm suprised you havent managed to give yourself one if you think people need locking up for eating chips

Not every bloody day though ...... several times over ....... get a grip.

Did anyone else note the moment when one of the Mums tried to save face after it was revealed that she'd bought chips for her kids by brandishing a carton of "orange juice flavoured drink" and claiming that it was healthier than a fizzy drink?

I've always been under the impression that if something has "flavoured" in the official description it's probably anything but healthy and contains plenty of chemicals and e-numbers.

Also, they accuse Jamie Oliver of masterminding an evil scheme to make kids more picky at meal times.

Then they rush chips to the school when the kids are presented with something that just might be new to them.

Am I standing on my head here, or are they not making the kids far more picky by encouraging them to keep to a narrow diet of fat, stodge and e-numbers?

I know, it's like something from Monty Python ...... I can already see it Palin and Jones as the angry mums, Gilliam (in a rare screen moment) and Chapman as the kids, Idle as Oliver, Carol Cleveland as the dinner lady and Cleese as the Headteacher ......... it still hasn't sunk in that this is real, as it's so absurd ....... not to mention frightening .......

It suprised me that they didn't spray more spittle as they talked and intersperce their statements with cries of:

"My brain hurts!"

I just wrote the gumby line as you were typing that!

Reminds me of a spoof newspaper I used to write called the Sheffielder.

One edition featured a frontpage story in which outrage had gripped the city after real meat was found to be present in McDonalds burgers.

Yes! someone talking sense at last. :clap:

I'm sure that's not what I said.

Maybe the fat deposits have clogged your eyes :P

I haven't read all this post so sorry if I am repeating someone, but it's just been on the Radio 1 news that parents were passing food to their kids through the railings!!!

EDIT : Apparantly it was a chippy run!!!

<fx: sniggers>

I wouldn’t care, I would just put it down to social Darwinism. If they are that stupid, let them die young and have an unhealthy life. But at the end of the day it’s the tax payer that has to foot the bill for the treatments and it’s also other people’s kids they are giving burgers to. I hope they have the parents permission to give these burgers out, if not some charges should be brought.

The ironies eh?

If you pushed unhealthy food through the bars at a zoo they'd string you up.

These fools are pushing the same stuff through the bars at a school and claiming some kind of moral victory!

"We'll show that Tony Blair and that Jamie Oliver to feed our kids a healthy diet!"

:loopy:

God bless the underclass and all who claim benefits in her.

Its a sure-fire bet this story will make the national news - healthy eating is a very vogue topic at the moment.

I can see it now under the headline "Fats my boy!" with the women standing next to their malnourished offspring, pizza boxes aloft in defiance.

If they make Jeremy Kyle, I am there in the audience.

They also said that they were unhappy with the quality of the food the school was serving.

Now am I alone in thinking that this is more due to the fact that the menu probably consisted of a few dishes that contained non-heinz pasta and rice rather than because it consisted of gruel?:hihi:

Yes you said that and who says I'm fat or eat fatty food just because I think that you are all getting on your high horse about healthy eating.Perhaps fat deposits are clogging your brain?

Can fat do that?
Clog your bits up I mean?
I must be very clogged then...

It already has made it - it has been all over Radio 2 news this afternoon ......

Fantastic!

Of course, the shocking leagcy of all this is that these women could stand to make a lot of money from red tops by selling the story of their moral crusade.

It doesn't mean Irish rule forever at all, but that's all a bit irrelevant. So you had to leave a B.Ed? That's a shame, especially given the circumstances.

Just to clarify, why does your son have packed lunches, and not school food? Is it the size of the portions, the type of food, the nutrition levels, or other reasons?

A quick google would suggest you're wrong in your translation

So what if the IRA add some terms to the phrase and use it in a more sinister manner?

Would you also object to Brits saying ‘God save the queen’ or whatever because the BNP also use the phrase or that French types saying ‘vive le France’ because Le Pen also says that?

Story has been on News24 now...

Oh the shame, not what Sheffield wants to be known for!!

Is it the size of the portions, the type of food, the nutrition levels, or other reasons?It s the nutrional levels - fish fingers were all batter and no fish {lack of protien}, peas 2 -5 not a vegatable portion.He didn'h have much choice anyhow as he is allergic [medically proven] to eggs and milk and was advised to avoid nuts.But all the meals I saw were lacking in protien the vegatables were overcooked depleting the nutrients and my son won't eat chips as it happens-he doesn't like them.Neither does he like smash/mash[packet variety] and thats what they served for carbohydrate.Mash in a packet is unhealthy.

Smash is actually lower fat than mash you make yourself!! I do weight watchers and there is less saturated fat in as it hasn't got all the butter and milk in there. Nothing wrong with mash in a packet.

That advert they used to have in the Viz springs to mind.. "and they are happy because they eat lard" Shamefull

I agree with all that, but I'm just a bit confused then as to why you appear to support the actions of these insane women?

The school in question is trying to improve the nutritional level of the food, and the women in question are doing more than their level best to ruin it all.

With an attitude like this from two mums, what hope is there for the future. Ok they are a minority.

Smash is actually lower fat than mash you make yourself!! I do weight watchers and there is less saturated fat in as it hasn't got all the butter and milk in there. Nothing wrong with mash in a packet.

There is for a growing child, especially when it could be the only chance of a balanced meal that day.

You have the choice of what you eat; a five year old doesn't.

I find it weird that people seem to believe that all weight problems are related to what you eat, and nothing else.
I agree. If these children want to eat the burgers they should have to push a heavy shopping trolley up an hill as penance.

It has all the additives and high salt and sugar levels even if it helps you diet, children don't need to diet especially if they are not overweight so differnet rules apply to dieters than children.But they do have the same high salt /sugar levels than a packet of crisps and all the nutritional content is depleted such as vitamen C

There is for a growing child, especially when it could be the only chance of a balanced meal that day.

A healthy balanced diet means a bit of everything, nothing wrong with fish fingers, peas and mash! I would rather my child eat smash than chips any day!

You have the choice of what you eat; a five year old doesn't.
A "Chav" child does.
Chips or nowt.

Dear oh dear!! Im still gobsmacked!!

What a quote from the headteacher.....

"The food that these parents are handing out is not part of a healthy eating diet and on top of that I have to question the morality of delivering it from the grounds of a cemetery."

I agree with all that, but I'm just a bit confused then as to why you appear to support the actions of these insane women?

The school in question is trying to improve the nutritional level of the food, and the women in question are doing more than their level best to ruin it all.I suppose because I felt sorry for them and everybody is taking the moral higher ground.Also I thought that school meals and healthy I wonder if the two of them can ever go together.If the healthy food is overcooked and unappetising

I suppose because I felt sorry for them and everybody is taking the moral higher ground.Also I thought that school meals and healthy I wonder if the two of them can ever go together.If the healthy food is overcooked and unappetising

Hang on, aren't the dinner ladies having to be re-trained in most cases?

If so, give them time - they will get it right eventually.

..and they are standing on someones grave to deliver it!

Has anyone got the benefit cheat hotline number ? Bet there arent doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts, well not for the other parents kids anyway.

Why don't these women wait until their lovely little offspring get home and force grease on them there? I don't see the need to take it to the level of pusing it through school gates. Its astounding really.

Today for tea we`re having a nice healthy salad.
Im going to force feed my three year old pies before hand though.



God im going nuts.

The thing that annoys me too is that they will be encouraging other people children along the way.

A healthy balanced diet means a bit of everything, nothing wrong with fish fingers, peas and mash! I would rather my child eat smash than chips any day!

Agreed, but it also means that it should contain as much fresh produce as possible. My kids have junk occasionally, but mostly I cook decent food for them. What I'm saying is that schools should be doing the same, and that was what the irritating Mockney brought to our attention (can't fault him over this matter but it doesn't stop me giving him the nickname 'thrush').

I'd rather my children eat proper mashed potatoes than Smash, but would rather that than chips, admittedly!

What a quote from the headteacher.....

"The food that these parents are handing out is not part of a healthy eating diet and on top of that I have to question the morality of delivering it from the grounds of a cemetery."

Oh now this conjures up pictures I really don't want in my head :gag: :hihi: :hihi:

Reminds me of when I was at Junior school.

We weren't allowed out at lunchtime and we used to congregate near the railings to ask older kids to give us chips as they were passing after going to the chippy. Their usual response was to tell us they weren't allowed to feed the animals.

I found this quite amusing, About a school in Rawmarsh where parents are bringing there children Fish and Chips to school because...

"The children aren't eating what the school provide in the cafeteria because they don't like the quality of the food," :huh:

:confused:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/5349392.stm

I saw it on calendar at lunch time - it really annoyed me (the food is healthy food provided by the school to comply with new government guidelines) yet the parents are still insistent on getting a delivery of fish n' chips (deep fried crap) thats gonna kill 'em!

the woman on the news justified it because she'd got a carten of orange juice for her kid (the sugary type from concentrate)

Just shows how brainless these parents are - I feel sorry for the kids!

Hey Taxman, It reminds me of the time when you went away camping with cubs and returned home begging for 'proper' food as you'd just about had your fill of burgers and beans. Suddenly sprouts had appeal!

Even the mighty VIZ could not come up with a storyline like this.

Absolutely hilarious.

To be honest they may have a point, looking at these two stunners it seems clear a unhealthy diet hasn't done them any harm. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Mod: threads merged.

I must admit my kids eat healthy,but im a sod when it comes to food.
I like ordering take away and if i go mc donalds i order a big breakfast meal along with a egg mc mufffin.
I only weigh 8 st though i tend to be able to eat what i want and gain nothing.
Even having a 9lb 5 child didnt help improve me weight.

I was shocked to read that article too. Particularly the quotes:
and


It would be funny if it wasnt so tragic! I dont think theres a single school-child in sheffield suffering from a fat deficiency - if they're genuinely concerned about falling fat levels in food, then they could just make sure their own darlings get a good deep-fried meal in the evening, and none of that salad muck. Chips only once a week!? how do those poor kids survive?!

I must say the image of the two of them with an old shopping trolley full of burgers and chips is both comic and tragic. Maybe its a wind up?

I've just read in the Sheffield Star that 2 mums are delivering fish and chips and pies and burgers to children at dinner time at Rawmarsh Comprehensive because they say that pupils are turning their noses up at the 'low fat rubbish' served up at their school!

What do they think they're doing? I can't believe that they are being so irresponsible.

I've got teenage children myself and find it difficult enough for them to eat any decent food. I'm 100% behind anything that schools do to promote healthy eating. I'm also 100% against anything that other parents do to try and negate this, especially when other children are encouraged to join in.

Tester; Which vegetable makes chips?
Rawmarsh woman; McCainsHow do you know when a Rawmarsh woman is about to orgasm?
She drops her chips ! :)

There's interference with human rights for you ... while feeding kids healthy food is a great idea, you can't, legally, MAKE them eat it.

I just hope people will stop complaining that schools serve up unhealthy food now; all that happens if you serve up healthy food and no chips, is the kids go and eat chips someplace else.

I just cannot believe this made it onto the news!!!!! I wonder if any of the women (or friends of) use this forum???????

I can't believe they think its a fair thing to do or remotely good to go against the school and stick 2 fingers to the healthy eating plan.

My son came home on day one and said its great you can get chips and bacon butties for dinner.. he has since taken a packed lunch to school :|

I used to work on a healthy eating scheme whereby we would deliver portions of fruit to schools where it was identified that children were underexposed to fresh fruit and veg. We also ran an allotment project with various schools in these areas and the number of children who liked chips and not potatoes without even realising that chips were made from potato was staggering. Growing veg with these kids was very rewarding as they were keen to eat the produce they nurtured. Kids won't eat healthily because they know no different. Parents who peddle fatty, processed food regularly to the point of encouraging obesity should be done for child abuse.

Just seen this on Look North, and all the kids who were taking advantage of the 'grub run' were already podgy buggers as it is.

Here's an idea ladies, send them with a decent packed lunch and cook them a proper meal when they get home.

Took me 12 seconds to work that one out.

We took some children from Netherthorpe out to a house down Rivelin once and we picked Bilberries and made a pie. There were also ducks and chickens in the garden and a big greenhouse. It was the first time some of them had ever seen fresh food but they loved it!!

its a good idea inw ays but as someone as said it is rawmarsh comp we are talking about is it the school that are keeping the kids in or rotherham council?

Let them eat what they want. Make them sign a "do not treat" agreement with the NHS, and let them do what they like. I saw this on the news and am astonished that they are even in school considering the knuckle dragging grunts they made explaining their actions.

One of the little porkers said the food tasted like cardboard. It would not suprise me if was actually eating cardboard thinking it was fruit.

Well I just had to sign a document for wisewood agreeing that I do not want my son off school premises during lunchtimes.

If you don't have authorisation in writing from parents they are not allowed out.. its the old loco parentis situation again.

I suppose keeping a lot of these kids in at lunch time to stop them drinking the obligatory bucket of liquid grease will also make life a little more peaceful for the locals and cut down on the carpet of litter outside the nearest fast-gut outlet. The crap will be confined to the school premises for once.

I saw the two ladies on Look North smuggling dangerous sausage sandwiches through the school fence....priceless

So much for caring for your kids. Feed them crap at school, feed them crap at home. Then moan and groan about how little Johnny and little Kylie are not very healthy because there is nothing for them to do and nowhere to do it. Johnny and Kylie then become another Wayne and Waynetta and it will be the Government`s fault again! The kids just become "mini" versions of their parents, all fat bellies and no brains.

You noticed that as well did you?:thumbsup:

Giving kids exctly what they want is one of the causes of many issues people see with kids today.

Since when should kids just be given what they want?

I just cannot believe the sheer idiocy of those parents... Bloody-hell, we have proof-positive that brain-transplant donors can survive!

they might as well hook the kids up to an intravenous lard drip...

as for this:-

When I was found off the School premises at lunchtime, i was brought back in shackles by the Child Catcher, thrown onto the staff-room floor, stamped all over by our 22 stone 'Dance' teacher and subjected to 3 months detention, conducted by Pythagoras and his therum.

Kids today don't know they are born. :)

Being forced to eat a little food? In my day you would eat the food or they would give you all the left overs for the entire school to eat. If you didn't eat them it would be the horse whip for you and your parents.

They don't know what they're missing. Oh for another 10 years of drinking tepid water out of greasy beakers, poured from a jug with a pea and a cubic inch of mashed potato from the first sitting floating in it.

And the jam roly-poly? Mmmmmm:thumbsup: Tasted just the same going down, as it did coming back up during PE.:gag:

Quite. Carry on like this and you too, could look like these two..... should be enough to put the buggers off. Seriously, I think the pair of them should be locked up. Or put in their damn trolley, taken to the top of one of Sheffield's hills and let go. And how embarassing making it to the national news - as others have said it just feeds the ridiculous stereotypical ideas people have about northerners. I can't believe these two stupid, brainless wonders are happy to publicise what they're doing.

I think I know them It can't be.... Can it?:o

I KNEW what was going to be on the end of that link........but it still made me laugh just as much......!! And my god, the resemblance is actually quite scary.....

I can't believe how gobsmacked I am about this! They were reading out letters on the news on Radio 2, supposedly from the kids themselves, one of which went along the lines of, 'it's so gay that we can't eat stuff like this at school'." What in the name of all that's Holy are they on about? And if they're so bothered, why aren't they packing their kids lunches themselves? They can still eat crap that way and they can eat crap at home any time they like.

I trust that like any other food serving outlet, food purchased from off the premises isn't allowed inside. So roll on winter when it's cold and wet, or wet lunchtimes when they can't go out at all. What will they do then :hihi:

And on an alternative note, what the hell is it telling the kids about discipline? Whether you agree with the new healthy menu idea or not, the school has a rule about kids not leaving the premises at lunchtime and wanting them to eat lunch on site, and the mothers are basically encouraging them to completely disregard the rules of the school and saying that's ok.

:rant:

Oh how I would have laughed if a big bird had crapped on those sausages. :hihi: :hihi:

I'm sorry I'm still shaking my head at the sheer crass stupidity of these people

I heard the story on BBC Radio and after hearing the comments from the locals I can truly glad that the radio announcer said "Rawmarsh near Rotherham in South Yorkshire" and Sheffield was not mentioned.

Don't worry about the impression it gives of Northerners, if everyone thinks those two are typical of the area it will keep all the southern softies away and keep the house prices down!!

Oh don't. You're making me hungy.

One of the "junk food" mothers taking chips, burgers and heart attack fodder to their brats at a Rotherham school, looked well on the way to being a real fat pig herself. Are these people thick? Personally I don't care how fat our kids get, the fatter the better, it's a great laugh watching them waddling about in ill fitting clothes in Meadowhall thinking they're cool.

Unfortunately we have to spend thousands of pounds treating their fat related ailments when they get older.

Not enough exercise!!!

I think these women are just being stupid. I wonder if their fight is not against the fact that their kids aren't having crap but the fact that the option has been taken away. If they had been asked "can we please put this food on the menu at school" instead of saying here is the new menu your kids will eat this, I wonder if they would have kicked up such a fuss?

My kids eat burgers and chips, occasionally. Burgers with wholemeal bun, plenty of fresh salad with homemade oven cooked chips in olive oil.
Maybe these women should be shown a few episodes of honey we're killing the kids (the one where they show what the kids will look like at 40 with their current lifestyle). Although I very much doubt that they would care judging from their current attitude to their childrens health!

My kids eat burgers and chips, occasionally. Burgers with wholemeal bun, plenty of fresh salad with homemade oven cooked chips in olive oil.


See there's nothing implicity bad about most food if its prepared well and uses wholesome ingredients. A thin pizza with a thick healthy topping of garlic, tomato and basil. A freshly prepared burger with salad. Unfortunately I don't think the Mum's concerned know enough about what constitutes a healthy diet.

Veg stir-fry for instance can contain the whole recommended 5 portions of veg and is dirt cheap and filling, they'd probably call it foriegn muck as they're tucking into their large kebab with fries

Half a pound of decent mince, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, salt & pepper, and a dash of L&P/Hendo's.
Mixed, shaped (freeze what you don't need) and grilled.

Cheaper and a million miles better that served in a polystyrene box.

Surely they are protesting more about their childs right to decide what they want to eat more than the food they are being given. I didn't think any parent would want unhealthy children!!

My kids love making their own pizzas, they pick their own toppings though, favourites are tomatos, tuna, sweetcorn, onion and sometimes ham. Maybe these women can't cook!

Oooh for a Sheffield Forum cooking group!!!

I saw them on the news tonight, several times. they are either getting paid too much by the DSS for doing nothing during the day or their other half should question the use of their time. We are not talking about giving these kids cheese sarnies, they are getting chips n snags from the chippie. And, to add to it, they are doing it through the fence at the back of someones garden.

Their argument about the kids only having 30 minutes lunch break and is not long enough is a valid point though.

Well maybe they wouldn't have the brains, believe me I wouldn't want to give them any credit! I was merely trying to express the childish attitude they have shown to the new menu. Tell a kid "you are going to have this" they immediatly say "i'm not" just for the sake of arguing. I can't imagine any parent being irresponisible enough to allow their children to eat themselves to death with that crap. It sounds like they have nothing better to do with their time and caused an argument about the first thing that came along.

Don't make it with milk though. For the full effect purchase a 10 gallon plasterers bucket, industrial mixer and 10 gallons of single cream.

With a statement like that I’m not surprised you support those stupid mothers. If that’s what you really believe, then I’ve been correct in saying that women shouldn’t have children until their old enough and intelligent enough to bear them. The age I’ve been suggesting is 40, but in your case I’ll stretch it to 65.

And for your information, it’s an insult to those ‘brave soldiers’ — on both sides — to even associate them with having fought wars so that daft, idiotic mothers can feed 21st century children full of crap food, allow them to grow obese and spoil their chances of some sort of a decent life.

You may not realise this, but from what you’ve said I imagine that like the Rotherham mothers you more than likely have a refrigerator full of lard, a freezer full of ready-cut chips and at least three boxes of beefburgers, boxes of baked beans stacked in a corner and only a frying-pan and a chip-fryer to cook with.

Heaven forbid, woman! What planet are you on?

Well, a couple of fat ladies running round Rawmarsh peddling beefburgers won't make a big difference in the scheme of things.If that's a bad thing, what about the constant advertising, year after year, to encourage girls [particularly], to be thin.This has apparently led a lot of teenage girls to have eating disorders........etc......

We can't ban everything [although in the last 30 years or so, we've had a good try!] so we have to let everybody push their point of view------even stout maidens from Rawmarsh.If they're doing any damage to our wonderful, innocent, little babes, what price McDonalds..et al...?

I guess the Rawmarsh Babes think Anorexia is an IQ test, or a contestant on the X Factor, so Rovrum is safe for now.

It highlights the fact that schools can only do so much. If the parents are intent on feeding their children a poor diet there’s little that can be done to stop them.

Perhaps it’s time to prosecute the parents of fat children for child abuse?

...Heaven forbid, woman! What planet are you on?
Planet Irony, I suspect...

How right you are.

I wonder if any of the parents of pupils at the school actually uttered the line: "Shut up complaining and eat the ruddy stuff!"


In the old days a parent would say " Gerit darnn thi it'll du thi good" or say " gerit up an thaal feel better"

I'm hanging on to the hope that the Burger-Gate Affair (geddit? ;))and the Chris Langham arrest are well planned and executed satires, and that at some moment Chris Morris will pop up in the Guardian telling the population what a bunch of predictable mugs they have been... again.

:)

There's interference with human rights for you ... while feeding kids healthy food is a great idea, you can't, legally, MAKE them eat it.

I just hope people will stop complaining that schools serve up unhealthy food now; all that happens if you serve up healthy food and no chips, is the kids go and eat chips someplace else. Yeah through the fence at a Rawmarsh school! Are you a school kitchen employee by any chance? :D

The age I’ve been suggesting is 40, but in your case I’ll stretch it to 65.

And for your information, it’s an insult to those ‘brave soldiers’ — on both sides — to even associate them with having fought wars so that daft, idiotic mothers can feed 21st century children full of crap food, allow them to grow obese and spoil their chances of some sort of a decent life.

You may not realise this, but from what you’ve said I imagine that like the Rotherham mothers you more than likely have a refrigerator full of lard, a freezer full of ready-cut chips and at least three boxes of beefburgers, boxes of baked beans stacked in a corner and only a frying-pan and a chip-fryer to cook with.

Heaven forbid, woman! What planet are you on?

Makes an healthy change to the smack they usually push on the school kids in Rawmarsh.

I had to smile earlier.

They were interviewing these two ladies on the radio and they were claiming that they were taking burgers to the school gates because the school had stopped kids leaving to go to the chippy which meant that they weren't getting any exercise at lunchtime!

:hihi:

Come on... this has to be a set up!!

This article starts:

"Two mums are organising junk food runs to a South Yorkshire school - because they don't agree with its healthy eating policy."

I can't believe that this is happening, and that they're so proud of themselves that it's in the paper!
I really cant understand why you think people should have eat this 'Healthy Eating' crap.
No normal human being wants to eat that type of rubbish.

We need high calorie stodge to keep us alive.

We do not want to look like heroin addicts, a la Moss and Docherty

I wonder if they are now regretting the publicity and trying to paint themselves in a good light :suspect: Don't think it's going to work ladies!

Seeing as these parochially minded scratters were on page 5 of the sun with a double page spread hailing them as "Sinner Ladies" (see if you can spot the pun) and basically came across as a hybrid of Vicky Pollard's mum and Mr Creosote - I suspect that the thought of "Maybe this seemed like a good idea when all of my dole scrounging Rawmarsh mates were telling me 'Yeah, them kiddies need a bit of feeding up - you're a martyr fetching them chips n that ...... the skool should be sorting that out ..... I'm complaining through legal aid that our Shawnee's human rights are being breached!' Now I'm not so sure..." is crossing their lard addled minds.

Now the nation realises that insular minded, council, trans-fat feeding cretins are whoring chips through the school railings I'm sure that the pair of dimwitted womens remaining braincells are wheezing into action ....... Expect a "I didn't know!" laced apology in about March. God damned, simple minded, chip buttie munching fools :|

I remember during the "how old is too old to beastfeed debate?", a friend of mine told me that one mother used to feed her son through the railings at school.
i.e boob in between the railings....I suppose passing fish and chips through is just developing the idea

I think this is a great satirical post....I'm just not sure it was meant to be.

I bet now he wishes it was meant to be ... he's got a long SF history of missing the point :hihi:

Don't worry about the impression it gives of Northerners, if everyone thinks those two are typical of the area it will keep all the southern softies away and keep the house prices down!!

Good point!

It highlights the fact that schools can only do so much. If the parents are intent on feeding their children a poor diet there’s little that can be done to stop them.

Perhaps it’s time to prosecute the parents of fat children for child abuse?
God i'm so sick of hearing this.Was your mum a perfect mother is your partner? child abuse-feeding kids fatty food????????????????????????
Why don't we prosecute mothers for smoking whilst pregnant.Thats more child abuse than fatty food.Smoking damages the unborn childs circulatory system as all the oxygen recieved (which is markedly less than non smoking mothers unborn children)is fed to the brain.So the circulatory system develops properly in the brain at the loss for the rest of the body.This makes these childrens circulatory system inflexible, thin and narrowed.This leaves them at a higher risk of developing heart disease and high blood pressure along with the narrowing inflexible arteries being more likely to be block by hardened fats.This is irreversible.But we dont prosecute smoking mothers we try and help them.Why are you all acting liking hyeanas its just fish and chips.

its just fish and chips.

But 'just' fish and chips every day, or Macdonalds, or the equivalent, is malnutrition. :rolleyes:

There are a few wicked lies that fly around about 'all' mothers that drive me to despair. One of them is 'all mothers want the best for their children.' I hope this story (and cyberghost's bewildering apologism for them) proves that this statement is a lie.

Yes of course smoking is bad for babies etc. But starving growing children of basic vitamins and minerals is inexcusable. These mothers are not battling an addiction like pregnant smokers. It is wilful neglect.

It is wilful neglect.I don't apologise for them I criticise the likes of you for slating them so badly.I can assure you that smoking whilst pregnant is far worse for a childs long term health than eating Mc donalds every day.I feed my children in a healthy manner but a child who eats Mc donads everyday may not suffer malnourishment depending on what other food he eats.
You not others who comment on here but you seem to be a mysogonist- a woman hater.I suppose you are in fathers for justice in your spare time and have been stopped seing your children so now you think that mothers don't know whats best for their children.Of course mothers know whats best for their children.What do you mean ?Are you under saying all the mothers on this forum and in the world dont know whats best for their children?
Mothers who are addicted to heroin are judged badly for taking this whilst pregnant just because mothers are addicted to smoking doesn't mean to say that this is not abusing their own child .My point is that they should be helped not "reported for child abuse @ as others have said.And mothers and fathers who feed their kids entire junk food should be helped not severly criticised to make your sef feel good.

When are people going to realise that it doesnt matter what kids eat?
When I was a child we had porridge for breakfast, meat and two veg with a pudding at dinner. Then the same at tea. if we were lucky we had some supper as well.
I was as thin as a whippet.
We needed all that food to keep us going.
When I war a lad etc. I was playing out from dawn til night.
That is what is wrong today, not food. It is that they are brought up to think that play is not the thing to do.

I agree with your point. Kids rarely get the excerise they need these days but that isn't the full issue. Eating habits are usually developed when young so a child fed entirely on crap is more likely to eat crap in adult life when they don't go out climbing trees etc! A healthy diet is one of the key factors to a healthy life, with reduced risks of getting both minor and serious illnesses. Yes exercise plays a big part in that too but put the two togther and your kids should have a healthy and long, happy life. I'm not saying you have to be fit to be happy either but the majority of over weight people don't feel good about themselves because of their weight.
My son plays outside on his bike etc and he is as thin as a rake but I wouldn't dream of feeding him crap everyday.
I don't know when you were 'young' (not suggesting you are old of course :thumbsup: ) but the full benefits of eating fruit and veg were not always recognised.

We were brought up on what I suppose could be called a 'wartime diet'
It was all fresh meat and fresh veg.
Sweets were indeed a treat. (they were still on ration!)
It still breaks my heart when I see people rejecting food because it is 'past its sell by date'

I agree with a lot of this. I can't remember fresh veggies as a child. My Grandma used to have a pressure cooker so anything green became mush. I remember potato hash and lots of hot dogs, and a visit to the chippy ONCE a week for Meat(?) pie chips and gravy. But then I was a kid. My palette wasn't developed. I hated salad (now I love it). But it didn't matter because I was fit and active so burnt off the calories. One good thing is that I never got a sweet tooth. I'd have crisps and sweets and fizzy pop delivered but never got hooked so when I cut out sugar from my tea and coffee it didn't bother me and now I don't snack or drink Coke etc.

So I believe that a healthy diet should be encouraged just to get them used to it and break the dependence on sugary, highly salted foods. But it must go hand in hand with exercise.

Besides they only have a few years until they discover beer and grow a belly like mine:hihi:

snippy I don't know when you were 'young' (not suggesting you are old of course :thumbsup: ) but the full benefits of eating fruit and veg were not always recognised.

I take your point kittenta, but artisan and I are of a similar age, I gather. I think when we were young, providers - mothers - did actually know the benefits of a balanced diet. There were no ready meals, people grew a lot of their own fruit and veg, no preservatives used other than the natural ones of salt, sugar and vinegar. We had to eat our greens, weren't allowed to eat between meals or in the street and "an apple a day kept the doctor away". We did play out a lot, granted, but we also didn't overeat. In photos taken of me and my friends in the late 50's, we all look half starved in comparison to todays little chubbychops!

I'm always shocked to see littlies clutching a disgusting looking sausage roll or a bag of equally vile crispy snacks in lieu of breakfast. The parents actually seem to consider this a more acceptable alternative to sweets!

Ah well, autre temps, autre mores :D

I dont know aboutyou, Ruby, but I was always starving in the 50's

They must have been terrible parents in those days :D

Fruit? Healthy is it? You wont catch me eating this. (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i159/Doppler1/2.jpg)

I dont know aboutyou, Ruby, but I was always starving in the 50's They must have been terrible parents in those days :D

Lol boys are always starving!! It's a man thing :D

I find it all beggars belief to be honest. If a parent wants to be feeding their kids garbage at home then that is for their own consciences to deal with, but bringing it to school is a different matter. It doesn't have to be expensive, or particularly difficult, to prepare an at least half decent meal

absolutely. getting kids involved with their own food from a young age is a great idea too. maybe growing an apple tree, tomatoes, potatoes etc and make kids see how important the food they eat is.

These women seriously need their heads examining.

I used to go to Rawmarsh Comp (now known as Rawmarsh Sports College) and from what I can remember, the schools dinners left a lot to be desired. The chippy is 50 yards away from the school gates and I admit I used to visit there a lot at lunch time. That or Sausage roll, peas and gravy from Staniforths at the Challenge (Rawmarsh 'Shopping' precint). But when I got back home I was fed good food and chips n pizza were hardly on the menu.

I feel sorry for these kids because the only food they know (and love) are chips, burgers, pizza, KFC.... Healthier school meals could have help to introduce more variety into their diet. But they have no chance with these women as parents. :loopy:

But i do think that that schools go the wrong way about tryin to feed kids healthy. At my school we had the choice of burgers and chips dripping with fat or a salad. Why not have oven chips and chicken burgers/chicken nuggets with better quality meat and less fat on them. A portion of chips only has to be around 200 cals, chicken nuggets 30 cals each and chicken burgers 200 cals each.

I think you could be onto something there Sothall. I have to admit i love nothing more than junk food, but recognise the damage i am doing to myself so have tried to become a bit more sensible.

The thing about cheap shop bought junk is that the ingredients are basically rubbish. I once made some burgers from scratch and they tasted nothing like the cheap ones you buy from the shop. Places like Iceland have a lot to answer for where you can buy different things for a fiver. It has to be that cheap because it was cheap to produce. If its cheap to produce then god knows what goes in it

I can't see what all the fuss is about, give the kids what they want!

Who knows what is better for the kids, than the kids themselves?

If the kids want junk food, give it too them. If they want sex, have onsite-school-hookers. Why stop at chip runs, why not have crack runs too... I'm sure there will be some takers!

Just because eating too much fatty food is bad for your health, and slows down your mental functions, doesn't mean that kids shouldn't be served chips and dead-animal-inabun everyday.

Viva la revolution!

I heard somewhere else that one thing the mothers were saying is that the school day had been restructured with only 1/2 an hour for dinner. Some kids didn't have enough time to get served or eat. So they set this up so they had something to eat at the start of their break.

Anyone else heard this?

Not in that particular case, but i know at my kids school they have restructured break times to stop the kids going to local shops.

not sure this has lead to anyone not getting their dinner in school though

I heard that as well. It was on the news report.

Making sandwiches for them to take never crossed their simple minds though, did it.:loopy:

[QUOTE]so now you think that mothers don't know whats best for their children.Of course mothers know whats best for their children.What do you mean ?Are you under saying all the mothers on this forum and in the world dont know whats best for their children?

All mothers DO NOT know what is best for your children. This is a ridiculous claim. But that does not mean I said 'All mothers in the world DON'T know what is best for their children'. Try this possibility - SOME mothers are really truly atrocious and ruin their own children. Being against bad mothers does not mean being a misogynist. Your reasoning skills lack balance.



You not others who comment on here but you seem to be a mysogonist- a woman hater.I suppose you are in fathers for justice in your spare time and have been stopped seing your children

This is possibly the single funniest reply I've ever had on Sheffield Forum. I don't think you realise you've made yourself look quite daft. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I always fancied having my lower lip split open and stuffed with parmesan cheese.

I saw 'em on telly. Think they were just a bit simple:hihi:
Don't give 'em an easy excuse

Alot of schools with behavioural problems nowadays are restructuring their school days so that the lunch hour is only half an hour. This is so that the children don't get a chance to get overexcited and into trouble.

I think that these Mothers are very misguided and 'kicking off' because they are not getting a say in what their children eat, regardless of what is best for the child.

Its a pity that we mainly see examples of bad parenting as I do think that most Mothers do 'know' what is best for their children.

Ollie,

I think generally speaking most parents know whats good for their kids. I like to think I do but then again my dietary habits are anything but a good example! That being said, I use that to try and steer the kids away from mistakes I made.

My own take on this is that we are so bombarded with the "nanny state" (for want of a better phrase) telling us what to do and how to live all the time, that when an issue as serious as obesity comes up then too many people just pass it off as being dictated to.

And if i'm honest, I've always found Jamie Oliver to be a bit of a smug git, so if he told me that sticking my head into the turning propeller of a plane was bad for me then I probably wouldn't listen ;)

I agree completely.

My puppy ripped up the back page of a magazine with a picture of Jamie Oliver on it and I gave him a treat for his excellent taste.

I agree about the growing problems of the Nanny state too. It was my birthday the other week and I had to ask permission to bring some birthday cake in for my little class.

If anyone had predicted 10 years ago some of the stuff that has come to pass, they'd have been passed off as mad.

I respect the swearing rules on here so i'm not gonna get on my soapbox lol :)

Are some of the posters on the previous page actually trying to argue that diet isn't important at all?

I don't think that they are, no.

I have always been a supporter of children eating healthily but as with all things where are the boundaries between what is right and personal choice.

I've not worded that right but heyho.

Hey Elvis Pressley ate burgers and junk food and he lived to a grand old age of 42:thumbsup:

I don't think that they are, no.

are you sure?

It seems so, I have a copy of the new schools menu and have shown it to a few friends. We are all in agreement that this can only be a good thing.

If these parents insist on feeding their kids junk at home, the new menu may be the only chance they get to eat anything near healthy

I think the issue here is not the 'healthy eating' aspect of it but the school imprisioning their pupils so they either eat the rubbish dished up or go hungry. At my kids school they are trying to withdraw free access to water at lunchtime by forgetting to put it out, they always remember to put out the bottled stuff that kids are encouraged to buy instead.

how can you characterise healthy food as 'rubbish'?

Absolutely, and I'm sure it's down to down to the fact that a lot of parents:-

1) Don't know how to cook. People buy pasta sauces for Spag Bol for the love of God(TM) ...... what's so difficult about adding some herbs (dried if needs be) and some garlic, pinch of salt and pepper to some tomatoes? Tinned are fine for it for that matter, but no, a quid plus on some <insert your own brand> rubbish, full of sugar.

2) Were brought up on this s**t. I'm 32, and my mother, who was an amazing cook, didn't really bother for a while after we got a microwave in the mid 80's. Then she realised it was all c**p and went back to proper food. Then again, Dad had just died and I'm not convinced nutrition was her first concern for quite some time. This is second generation at least.

3) Have got so used to the convenience, can't be bothered to cook even if they can. A phone call is SOOOOOOOO much easier.

This, as has been said by myself and others before could be the only chance of a decent meal during the day. Replacing it with junk, merely reinforces the children's view that this stuff is *proper* food. I've brought my children up to enjoy decent food, and to have a bit of rubbish every now and then. All of them prefer to have decent food, rather than rubbish. Give them proper food from the start and none of this would ever happen.

how can you characterise healthy food as 'rubbish'?

Boiled to the point where it's mush maybe? That was one of the Irritating Mockney Who Is However Right On This Occasion's points.
