Hello forum, just come back from riding my high horse, your right, it did not fit into the supermarket.
I cried my self laughing at this thread - very funny. But the comments are also quite interesting.
To any doubters, I must say, I did actually make the comment in the supermarket - not very quietly either. Those that know me will probably agree it was fairly restrained.
Perhaps I am a bit self righteous, but I dont mind and I encourage good healthy debate. Im happy to learn from well constructed debate. What I do mind is the fact that some poor kid is having to eat shite food due to her ill educated parents feeding it too her.
Of course, Im assuming they are ill educated and poor. But given we were not in Waitrose and they were buying crap food Im happy to stand by that assumption. I could be wrong, but its just an assumption.
I would be genuinely surprised if anyone here thought it was good food, well farmed and sincerely advertised. To me it plainly is not. Whats it to do with me, not much as its not my kid. But I do feel sorry for her and annoyed that companys can market such crap and people are not taught the basics about nutrition. I also think people should speak out when things seem wrong and not just abdicate responsibility.
Kids are not born fat, they are fed fat by parents.
I do have a biased opinion when it comes to food, I was brought up in southern Africa where there were no fat kids and food was scarce. I lived on a farm where you caught/grew the food first.
This forum is constantly speaking out (albeit to itself) about shite products / service. Just mention your off to Halfrauds to buy a full suspension bike for your kid for Xmas and lots of posters will give you their opinion.
Im just compelled to say what I think, out loud - I know this can be seen as rude or selfrighteous, but thats OK, its partly true. However, it dosent mean it should not be said.
But nevermind, it was a funny thread. I hope no one finds my half serious retort too unfunny in an otherwise very funny thread.
Im off to my freezing garage now to clean my bike.
