Head Bans Packed Lunches.........

[shepp 2,285]

I do agree it's mostly laziness on the parents part but it is expensive to eat well these days.

I don't mean go the supermarket and buy some cheap frozen fruit and veg and some processed meats. I mean to eat a proper healthy balanced diet. Fresh lean meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, brown rice and quinoa, mixed pulses, good sources of fats such as nuts and seeds, olive oil, avocado, oily fish. It's not cheap.

The government should discount all nutritious foods and put tax on things like chocolate and biscuits.

My daughter gets smoked haddock with root vegetable mash and beetroot at mine twice a week, and she really enjoys it. But it costs about £5. Her cousins get taken McDonalds regularly and their mother feeds 3 of them for little more than a fiver.

You can easily make a healthy meal for less than a fiver too.

It's just lazy b*****ds that feed there kids shit.

Cold McDonald ffs!

 

Kids are little blank canvasses - we can make the best of them if we chose to.

 

Some parents (Not all) are just lazy twats. Healthy packed lunches can be made on a budget......... we manage it.

 

Don't get me started on the kids that don't do homework because the parents are too feckin lazy to help/push them.

Healthy food is more expensive than junk food though. Or do you disagree?

 

Big pizzas for 2 quid in Supermarket. Bags of chicken nuggets for a quid. Big bags of chips and wedgies for a quid.

 

I've just spent £14 on my tea in morrisons, the missus brought a load of frozen shit what will last her a fortnight for the same amount.

Can't understand parants that would pack shite like that,,,,,saying that all infant school kids get free school dinners,,,,and my little lads school ,,has fantastic school dinners,,,

Not all infant schools kids get free school dinners

Don't they get them over there chid,,they do here in England ...

No its £2.50 a day at the daughters school which I don't think is bad, couldn't do her a pack lunch for that.. The school as a healthy eating policy to so no crisps or chocolate and only water is allowed to be drank which is also good imo

Yep eating well is expensive imo but all 3 of mine eat good healthy fresh food , and once a week if they've been good they get to choose a take away which is normally McDonalds or a pizza .. I cant understand why some parents would feed there kids shite everyday..

I definitely disagree.

 

A bag of oats is a couple of quid and will last weeks,brown rice the same if you buy a decent amount.

Get to know your butcher and you'll get decent deals on whatever's going,or if you want to buy more at one time go to costco and freeze some.

 

And veg is generally very cheap too,especially carrots,potatoes etc which also last a bit longer.

 

I could feed my family for cheaper on decent food than frozen meals and definitely cheaper than fast food.

Same here Chid my littleun gets a takeaway once a week, her choice. She usually picks Chinese but likes KFC too.

 

Cost shouldn't come into it when feeding kids, if you can't afford to feed them properly you shouldn't have them.

 

But I do think the government should help out as said above.

That's okay until you get fed up of eating cheap cuts of meat and oats. Lol. Each to their own mate.

 

I dont think anyone can post up a VARIED and NUTRITIOUS diet which would cost less than cheap frozen shit from supermarkets.

If I had the time right now I bet I could write down half a dozen meals off the top of my head that would feed a family of four and cost less than a fiver and would be nutritious.

Just a few examples off the top of my head,though it's porridge for breakfast every morning in this house

 

Eggs are also a cheap one.

That comes into it too tho doesn't it pal, having the time to prepare cheap nutritious meals. Much easier to chuck some frozen nuggets and chips in the oven. One of the many problems made worse by the new norm of both parents going out to work.

I would like to see that sometime if you get the time. Not saying it can't be done but would like to see it all the same.
