Saw an article earlier in this subreddit about teachers leaving the profession due to violent kids … who’s surprised when their parents are this vile and disgusting… no decent role mode in their life’s
I’m not surprised. The way some parents respond to the idea that children need to be encouraged to eat healthier to establish good habits for when they are older; and to give them the nutrition they need right now! It’s mind-boggling.
No, they can’t have crisps as their snack at school. No one is stopping you from giving them crisps on the walk home/after school. But for break time they need fruit or veg.
It can be difficult with a limited budget, but you can get a bag of carrots for less than a quid; send them in with one of those, and you’ve still got plenty left.
These are probably the same people who cried and screamed at Jamie Oliver getting rid of turkey twizzlers 20 years ago when they were students.
*”But oi loiked ’em”* well your memory and taste is shit in that case.
Is that no a bit of an overeaction to spit (assault) and threaten teachers family over school meals. If they don’t like just bring a packed lunch. People need to calm the fuck down and stop been cunts to each other.
I looked at the menu and I’m not sure what the issue is.
Also aren’t like 25% of kids obese due to poor diet and lack of education surronding food. So I fail to see why health options at school are a bad idea.
The audacity of thinking you can dictate what schools serve when it’s a) completely free at least until year 3 b) you’re a shit cook yourself.
One of the biggest reasons children are fussy -aside from sensory issues- is because they’ve never tasted anything with flavour before.
Feed kids junk, all they’ll want is junk. Appreciate some families struggle to get by but don’t complain ffs when your children are getting decent food.
>…Mrs Copley said problems with parents were prevalent **during the two Covid lockdowns**, with healthy snacks and lunch boxes being rejected, reports BirminghamLive.
>She said: “We ended up with Walsall’s fruit and veg mountain. Our parents would come and get their box and **they would systematically go through it and pile up the fruit and veg in one pile and cereals in another.**
>**”They’d take some of the tins and then ask, ‘can I get a Maccies voucher instead?’** We were drowning in fruit and veg. We made soups and casseroles and nobody wanted them. It was a real battle…”
Step 1 – make out that all healthy food is expensive and salad. A culture where children are expected to love nuggets and hate vegetables will help with this. Advertise this crap heavily
Step 2 – stop teaching cookery in schools and create a society where both parents have to work long hours to keep the family together.
Step 3 – make healthy food seem complicated and unattainable. Don’t teach nutrition in schools, don’t discuss generally in social settings, fill supermarkets with crap so it’s hard to even find the healthy yogurts and let the food lobbyists run parliament.
And here we are.
Also, they need to stop reporting on parents who are completely mental as if this is a normal way for adults to behave. No, the parents overfeeding the child in the article were not “killing with kindness” they were just killing their child.
I think it’s just gone too far, tbh. A lot of people find the very concept of cooking scary and constant news articles about the latest fad plus people like slimming world further mystifying the concept of what decent food is just makes the whole thing harder and harder to solve.
‘Ate veg, ‘ate fruit, luv me chips, luv me chicken goujons, simple as.
This is fascinating. Forgive me, I’m from Canada. Is it the norm that UK schools provide lunch for students? Here students bring their own lunch, so it’s a variety. As a teacher, I encourage healthy options, but obviously don’t refuse a child any of their food (although I have forbidden students to drink a 2L of Coke with instructions to finish the rest at home).
I’ve often longed for a lunch program for my kids, but I can’t imagine people being on board with it.
Fucking utter scum.
Feeding your kids too much junk should be considered child abuse. Your little bloaters might thank you for it now, but they’ll regret it when they can’t walk a mile without taking a break and they can’t feel their feet, just like fat mummy and daddy.
These horrible cunts are setting up their own kids for a lifetime of health problems. I can understand being unable/unwilling to look after your kids, but why would you abuse someone else for doing it for you?
Human beings are by and large (and I do mean large) fucking morons.
“But the determined teacher said the condition of one pupil helped her stick to the plan to save the children, which she said were being ‘killed with kindness’ as parents fed them fast food and unhealthy snacks.
The young student, whose weight had increased at an alarming rate, was the driving force behind her school’s policy, she said.”
Seems brutal to single out one kid in the national news as the reason all this was introduced.
That kids going to get a hell of a lot of abuse now
The kids are probably getting free school meals anyway so its not like the parents are paying for them.
Shitstain parents cbf raising their kids healthy. Should be sterilised.
I don’t understand how grown adults can act in such a manner. They are meant to be raising the future of this world and they are so offended by healthy meals they go ahead and verbally attack a teacher who’s just trying to stop their kids dying too early of preventable diseases through exercise and nutrition. It’s a sad day when teachers have to take on the responsibilities of the parent as well as formal educator.
Parents, and I am one as I say this, should be evaluated for what we feed and offer our kids. Nutrition education should be a new mandatory class given to everyone to re educated how to cook and how to look after ourselves better. We are quickly becoming a slightly smaller america with our fast food and fat culture. I say this as an overweight woman who’s been addicted to shite food for too long and am trying to make the change for myself and my children.
Healthier eating helps everyone feel better and live healthier lives plus reduces weight related illnesses which plague the already underfunded and over subscribed NHS.
/r/NoahGetTheBoat would appreciate this. Also, some of the comments in the article show how bad things are getting. FFS!
Parents kicked off when they were asked to put just water in their kids bottles at my little ‘uns school. Parents are really weird sometimes.
I remember in primary school my year 3 teacher bringing in loads of exotic fruits to try. What a wonderful lesson that was. Some people just shouldn’t be parents.
Parents afraid there kids might actually turn out better than them and develop healthy habits
2 issues here – people’s generally crap diet in this country and the normalisation of ultra processed food. And also people’s lack of respect for teachers and any authority. I’ve not heard of our teachers being attacked and threatened but the amount of complaints and bitching they put up with is insane. Some parents feel it’s their obligation to argue against every fecking decision.
There’s a reason UK kids are the fattest in Europe.. .
A school I worked at had an 8 year old who wore adult size 18 clothes, because of how obese she was. It was sad, honestly. She attended a guide group too and was the only one who didn’t have to wear a uniform, likely because our school had to get uniform specially made to fit her.
Her mum, advised by both the school, the council and her GP, had to take her daughter to a healthy eating and fitness class every week. But right after the class, her mum would take her to McDonald’s ‘as a treat’.
Your daughter is an adult size 18 in clothes and she’s 8 years old. That’s your fault as her parents, not hers.
(She didn’t have that disease where you’re always hungry, her entire family was severely overweight. And no, the council wouldn’t take the children off the mum despite her clearly killing them, because she was abiding by what they asked in taking her to a fitness class.)
Probably the kind of parents that taking their kids to McDonalds for breakfast.
Shows why the country is in such a fat piss poor state
Reverse evolution
And there is probably no way of improving it
My wife is a teacher in a very deprived school.
I have genuine and frequent concerns for her safety, some of her kids and their families are fucking awful people.
Luckily we live far away from her school but another teacher in that school was followed home and had bricks thrown through all the windows on her house and car.
I’m really confused by why /r/unitedkingdom loses its collective shit when Jamie Oliver tries to encourage people to eat healthily, but it’s fine here?
Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce
How the fuck does this shit happen here? this is the sort of thing you read about happening in Aamerica and laugh at how goddamn idiotic they are.
Embarrasing. It’d be real difficult to resist the urge to not knock the so called parent out that’s spitting on my kids headteacher for giving them decent food.

Parents afraid their children might turn out differently to them.
‘ate fruit
‘ate veg
luv maccy d’s
simple as
I wonder how much of that is just embarrassment of the parents. Kids getting better food at school than at home.
>Our children didn’t know how to eat some of the food, didn’t know what they were,
That quote stuck out to me. Just wow.
How fuckin dare they! Am trying to raze an absoloot unit ere luv, back off 4 he asbo’z yer!
I was curious so I looked up the [menu](https://www.radleys.walsall.sch.uk/_files/ugd/185e23_aaab1d593fc2401a9ab6701ce334d1ec.pdf) – honestly sounds pretty good and varied with lots of decent/appealing options. Some people genuinely aren’t comfortable going beyond ‘beige stuff and chips’, I guess.
