The subject of fizzy drinks, chips etc came up and I voiced I thought it was completely irresponsible for them to be available with every school lunch. Her response was, ‘But you have to give them choices and leave them to decide’. Mine was, ‘No you don’t because they will almost certainly make the wrong ones’.<br />Expecting a child to resist those kinds of temptations is utter madness.<br /><br />Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-70926908131837876112018-02-03T22:58:10.659+00:002018-02-03T22:58:10.659+00:00Lately I've heard the education system blamed ...Lately I've heard the education system blamed for just about everything but of course, you're right health is important.<br /><br />I remember being taught how to eat healthily in primary school. We had a lesson on it although the cafeteria at secondary school would happily let a kid have chips for lunch every day and that's what many of them did.<br /><br />A sad thing indeed. <br /><br />Thank you!Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-9419004336408228062018-02-03T08:59:36.113+00:002018-02-03T08:59:36.113+00:00So glad all is still well with your wobble board:)...So glad all is still well with your wobble board:) <br />I’m like you in that if I had anything really wrong with me I’m sure I’d rather not know. I find the idea of my mind being consumed with notions of impending doom a bit like rubbing salt into a wound I hadn’t been aware of having.<br />I do sometimes wonder if we should be taught much more in school about how our bodies work and the adverse effects of overeating and drug taking etc. We mostly do live in blissful ignorance of what we’re doing to them. Not sure if it would help prevent kids getting into bad habits or overindulging?<br /><br />Just discovered Lady Gaga has Fibromyalgia and has had to cancel some tour dates. Not sure why that’s relevant to this conversation but it did register just how random health matters can be.<br /><br />I don’t know if age makes you braver because I’ve yet to have that tested by a health scare.<br />However, my FIL is very ill at the moment and my husband says he’s being unbearable to his Mum, and him when he visits. He’s pretty convinced it’s fear of dying.<br />It’s a sad thing that illness often makes us our least loveable at a time when we probably need people the most.<br />I guess that’s why in part people caring for them often say it was a happy release when the end does come.<br /><br />Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy your good health:)Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.com
