Anything for Money?...NB

so we now have a top TV chef fresh from a celebrity kitchen cook drama, who continuously extols the virtues of good cooking with fresh healthy ingredients, appearing alongside a football nerd advertising salty crisps to youngsters.

And this after his fellow female top chef in said kitchen drama just having appeared on a programme teaching wayward yougsters how to cook good food and stop eating fast food crap.

All very odd........Rant over

Why are you surprised? When I met SWMBO 8 years ago she was 25 and couldn't even boil water let alone cook. Her weekly diet consisted of, quick snack after work - 8/10 pints with the girls and thrash someone at darts mon/fri with Kentucky, kebab, McMucky or someother crap on the way home. Saturday watch Liverpool pretend to play football(silly cow - now converted her to a decent team) Up the GUNNERS rapidly followed by 8/10 pints with her dad down the pub and more darts (this time for money to pay for all her beer). Sunday a layin until down the club with the ol' man again until dinner, full roast cooked by mum, then a kip and off to bed. Start again monday. Somewhere in between a weeks work.
Now though it's healthy eating with Roy, beer almost non-existant and sailing and freshair.
How people change!

Re: Darwin

Natural selection at work, probably. I honestly believe we will have two cultures soon: those who know about food and nutrition, care about what their kids eat, and can afford to pay for it; and the rest.

Sadly, not knowing, not caring and not being able to afford all seem to go together. I feel the Morlocks are coming...

Sad, isn't it. We have two young kids and though, I confess, they would eat junk 24/7 if we let them, we insist on them eating a reasonably balanced, nutritious diet. Some of their friends plainly don't eat anything but chips and takeaways and will no doubt turn into their enormous parents (this is a bit pot/kettle, since I have slight, ahem, waistline issues myself, but I try to eat healthily).

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been looking at secondary schools for our daughter, for next year. Although the schools that we saw were all excellent, I was a bit concerned to see that they all had snack machines full of sweets, crisps and other rubbish and that the canteen menus invariably included chips and deep fried stuff alongside the salads. Which do you think the kids go for, given a free hand?

In spite of all this, I have to say that the ads featuring the Jug-eared Goal-hanging Twat (copyright Nick Hancock) are quite amusing and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Two points...

1 A friend of mine tells me about a juornalist who took to eating breakfast, lunch adn dinner at a fast food outlet beinging with M. Apparently after one month he was extremely ill and his doctors said that some organs were in bad shape.

2 Food at schools can be good. My children go to a school where they are given, yes that is given FREE fruit. This is fantastic. They also have a french chef who cooks tehm quality food. School dinners cost about 5 euro per day. not bad value.

We owe it to our children to feed them good food so when you look at shcools go and check the kitchens, see how clean they are, look at the food they produce and the test has to be would you eat it, if not then dont expect your kids too. They will be drawn to the fast food because of hte razamataz!!

Your friend is thinking of Morgan Spurlock's film <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.megastar.co.uk/freebies/news/2004/09/14/sMEG01MTA5NTE3MDk3Nzk.html>Super Size Me</A>, which is both funny and scary. At the end of a month living exclusively on MacDonald's products, his liver was starting to resemble that of a goose being fed to produce foie gras.

I don't think school food's that bad, it's just that they also feel obliged (normally) to offer the usual fries/sweets/sugary drinks combo to kids and, given a choice, that's what most of them will eat rather than the salads and wholesome stuff that's also on offer.
