But I draw the line at feeding it to my 3 year old for breakfast!
Have just dropped the slimtubling off at daycare and on the way out passed an 120 kg mother and her tubby toddler stuffing pizza slices into their maws;7.45 in the morninig! No wonder this country has such grim obesity statistics.
Feel free to flame/troll but me and the kiddy love our morning porridge,we make it together, scoff each others and generally have a messy old time every morning and it fills us up for hours. I can’t see why you should have to buy a kids breakfast from a bakery.

Didn’t she mind you popping her on the scales you apparently had on you? 😉

Fat Children – A Song

used the eyechrometer, very accurate, was going to surrepticiously throw my travel size biffatronic sensor plate under her but she was rapid for a fat lass.

I always eat yesterdays leftovers as breakfast, its far better than cereals, never did me any harm and I only started putting on a few pounds when I stopped eating breakfast at all lol.

fair enough coffeeking but do you agree it’s not ideal for a pre schooler who is already obese to have doughy bread and cheese for brekky?

It could be worse.….or at least the same.

Smee, good call on the Minchin tune. I love that one!

Loved my Ready Brek first thing in the morning. Pizza didn’t even exist when I were a nipper.

It could be worse…..or at least the same.

That fat ‘Mum’ should have her kids taken off her, thats a horrendous way to bring up your children. The money she spends on Mc’ds would surely be enough to feed them properly?

And in response to the opening thread I think my above comment sums up what I think about feeding children in such an abhorrent manner!

ROFL

Something is deienatly wrong with the upbringing of kids in this country. I was listening to a middle class 5 or 6 year old girl in the street yesterday screaming at her mother. Mother did nothing. Kids running around shops; parents don’t give a damn.

The whole eating thing is just laziness.

I used to meet some colleagues every morning in a McD car park [Helen st by the M8]
The queues of mums with kids at the drive through was unbelievable

Toast, cereal and fruit for our 2 – they are never let loose in shops. IMO things like this are common sense. I instill good manners in my kids – even if they don’t use them on us, they do with other people though.

Parents just seem to be lazy feckers now, christ, they wont even walk a few yards to the school to avoid parking on the NO PARKING sign, they just park right on top of it!

The ones that live within walking distance of the school and are late pretty much every day get my goat – so much for teaching punctuality!

My 7 year old gets really upset if she thinks she is going to be late for something.

What type of pizza was it?

the healthy options one from Casa Italiano del porko bambino.
Double cheese and bloatwurst.

I concur.

That Tim Minchin song is 100% of genius:

“And you, oughta be ashamed
For you only have yourself to blame
Your 6 year old miniature Jabba the Hut
Eating half melted Mars Bars from the folds of his gut
He’ll be dead of an aneurysm
Before his own children ism ten
Perhaps you’ll consider
A cut-back on Taco Bell then
Perhaps you’ll consider
A cut-back on Krispy Kreme doughnuts
And Popcorn in bucket-sized boxes
And microwave pizzas or drive through McDonalds
For weeknightly dinners in front of the TV
And notes to the phys-ed instructor saying
Timmy has asthma but he really just gets short of breath
Cos hes 35 kilos above the ideal weight
Of 35 kilos for a nine year old boy”

My pair go for toast n’ cereal.
Eventually.
Usually have to put a blob of lemon curd or chcolate spread with the toast.

Only Pizza they ever have is the wifes home made stuff.

Cheerios or wheatabix at 5:30am and then wholemeal toast at abour 8 for mine. This usually gets them through to lunch without too much fuss

Breakfast is usually cereal (Rice Crispies or Cheerios or both) with honey, sultanas and ‘blue’ milk, followed by a yoghurt. That does them till lunch.

They do eat an amazing amount though; I don’t know where they put it!

If I eat cereal (3-4 weetabix) I’m ravenous by 10:30 and end up having multiple lunches!

Heaven forbid that a parent could fall foul of the superhuman parenting evident on this forum. It shouldn’t be allowed that someone responsible for a child should be running late once in a while. I’m glad the parents on here are such masters of perfection, immune to human laziness at all times and in all matters.

3 year olds in nursery though, well there is a question …

2 words Dis Applin.

If Marlon Bronson downt eet all his saus an egg McMuffin he knows he wont get is fags or can. shhhhhweeeeet.

My kids both eat well and I agree with the poster however this is accurate.
STW sanctimony in action.
You would be suprised how much sugar is in many of the popular cereals.

I still wouldn’t give them Pizza FFS! Far too much lazy parenting going on. I am not perfect by any stretch of th imagination but I put the bloody effort in which is more than a lot I see.

Problem is you risk jumping to conclusions.

Maybe the child and parent mentioned by the OP got massive because of something glandular and the pizza was a one-off because they were running late, you mean?

(I knew this thread would descend into accusations of sanctimony. Druidh will be along to accuse us of neofittism soon 😉 )

Thats another assumption an observer could jump too.

You would be suprised how much sugar is in many of the popular cereals.

Cheerios: 21.6g/100g
Rice Krispies: 10g/100g

Sugar’s not really a big issue for active kids though, dental-issues aside, is it?

Being overweight because of glandular or other medical conditions is fairly rare though. Being overweight because of bad diet and lack of exercise is very common.

As Mr Minchin sings:

So you’re telling me that your family
Has a history of obesity
You got a polycystic ovary
You say “its just the way God made me”

It’s unlikely, statistically
To be a physical thing
But either way it dont explain why you
Are in the queue at Burger King

You can blame it on biology
You can blame your physiology
You can point to genealogy
And your social anthropology

You can say you are an ectomorph
That you just cant get the kilos off
Well you can be what you wanna be
But stop feeding your boy KFC

Check the salt as well – many of them have a lot of salt and yes – refined sugars are implicated in development of diabetes IIRC

Of course it is however you dont have the evidence to conclude one way or the other given the second hand nature of the brief encounter described by the OP above, do you?
But wheres the fun in that?

You’ve got the evidence that they were eating pizza for breakfast…

I’m guessing surfer loves/eats pizza for brekkie.

But if we’re talking about a 5-year-old with abs, who will happily munch on raw mange tout as a snack…

Its not my breakfast of choice which is usually porridge and bananas, not averse to Pizza but not a huge fan.

All just a bit Daily Mail really isnt it!

Yes however the OP has confirmed he likes Pizza which really just brings us down to the question.
Is a food that is acceptable at tea time acceptable also for breakfast?

Not much of a headline really is it?

Unless we can also conclude she is a single parent and lives on benefits?

So what’s the difference between pizza and cheese & tomato sandwich?
And if the kid had eaten toasted cheese with tomoato on top, why would that have been wrong?
