And people wonder why diabetes is on the rise.
That’s not strictly true either. You can have both, just as long as it’s not your routine. You’re not going to get fat, get heart disease or diabetes from the odd unhealthy day of eating here and there.Many reasons. Two parents working and schools not teaching kids how to cook for starters. A heathy meal and a treat is fine, an unhealthy meal and treat isn't.
Parents should teach kids cooking, and a love of cooking too! Schools are for academic things! Anything else, it's the parents role.Many reasons. Two parents working and schools not teaching kids how to cook for starters. A heathy meal and a treat is fine, an unhealthy meal and treat isn't.

I’ve also never understood blaming schools for not teaching things parents should be teaching their kids in the first place. If you’re in the kitchen making their meals, get them involved and let them learn.

My No2 son used sit in his high chair watching me do the cooking. No1 was never bothered and by the time the other 2 came along, I was working.Parents should teach kids cooking, and a live of cooking too! Schools are for academic things! Anything else, it's the parents role.

And it will be far cheaper to use a microwave than an oven or hob this winter so even less opportunities to learn.
Not sure people will have the luxury of thinking about quality sadlyAlthough the food will be of a worse quality.
Tell me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table, without telling me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table.
(Thankfully I didn’t, but doesn’t mean there aren’t hundreds of thousands of families where the kids barely see their parents because they have to work to keep the lights on - I’d love to know how they’re meant to teach their kids how to cook healthy meals)
What? I neither had 2 parents or even one who could cook and that one worked multiple jobs to stop us getting evicted most weeks. Didn't mean we didn't get involved in the food we ate. I'm fact it was the one time we all saw each other and talked, often about what we were eating as money was so tight the only way to survive was to be able to cook crappy cuts of meat and in season veggies in some sort of stew. Unfortunately due to the said lack of cooking skills the food was often inedible. I STILL don't think schools should be where children learn cooking. I can also cook very well!Tell me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table, without telling me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table.

Same, but not the same, divorced parents main carer couldn't cook to save her life but managed to keep me alive on box meals, (vesta), mince, potatoes & watery gravy, cheese salad sandwiches and our once monthly takeaway of spring roll and chips.What?

Kids will learn themselves, if that's what they want. If not they will carry on the same old shots that they're used to.Tell me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table, without telling me you grew up in a home where your parents didn’t have to work ridiculous hours to put food on the table.

Same here, although I spent time in a refuge with 2 kids, not my parents. I had a hard time, but I never had to resort to 'iceland' .I hate to break it to you but I’m from a single parent household. My siblings and I grew up in council housing (with a brief stint in a refuge) and mum always had some kind of job throughout our childhoods.
I do love how people judge others based on their perceptions of what’s achievable if you’re poor or if you’re not.
