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? 😉

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

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 [i]in this country[/i]. I was listening to a middle class 5 or 6 year old girl in the street yesterday [b]screaming[/b] 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 ****ers 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.

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"

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 ...

My kids both eat well and I agree with the poster however this is accurate.

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.

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?

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?

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?

When it's a bakery pizza slice, probably a big difference. More fat, more salt, more crap.

As they're unlikely to have had muesli for their tea, their total fat/salt/crap intake for the day is likely to be too high.

Your body does react differently to different foods, so eating a fatty breakfast will not set you up for a productive day at school.

Based on our skewed conclusions based on no evidence.

so eating a fatty breakfast will not set you up for a productive day at school.

Again assuming it is fatty and not lovingly hand made at home.

Again, all a bit Daily Mail really

My kids eat oats rolled by hand off a virgins back with milk from a cow that lives high in the alps and is hand fed blades of grass. It keeps my kids full for 6 years and they act impeccably in all situations.

It also says cold which is unlikely to have been purchased that morning which means it may have been last nights Pizza which may or may not be homemade.

Is suspect none of us will ever know will we?

Last Tuesday morning I had leftover cold meatball pizza from Domino's and pretty damn good it was too. Sometimes you just gotta.

Twas funny though - we were in the hospital doing an overnight with our two (very) little newborns. The staff nurse came in to the 'parent's room' to see us sat there ramming pizza down our traps as we juggled crying smelly babies.

And somehow they let us home with them 🙂

When I was a baby, my parents widened the hole in a bottle's teat, so that the rusk they'd dissolved into the milk would get through it. Apparently, I slept through if I'd had 11oz of milk with half a rusk in it.

Assuming BMI is a good gauge of correct weight, which is isn't - you can be in the correct BMI range with a very high % body fat.

Mike- did you bother reading the article ?
It says that higher BMI's are better for than "ideal" ones, and implies plenty of extra fat isn't too bad at all.

Moses, you can have high BMI without being fat.

Yes, I know...but the article refers to a study of "average" people, & I bet that their excess BMI does not comprise muscle. The point being, we're too hung up on being slender, without the real evidence that it improves our wellbeing & lifespans. This study suggests it doesn't, and that being underweight is bad for you as well as obesity.
