cookery is still taught in schools

Hmm.   Rather half-heartedly I would say.

I prefer mine roasted.

Gosh.  I never thought about that.  Personally, I never eat Carrots.

Thats why you can come up with gems like Davel is better looking than Hippocrates.

It has to be Poor Parenting.  No one in Britain needs to be starving or malnourished.  The whole idea is ridiculous.

No proper food?  Why not?

That is the narrative pushed by the rightwing press.

[faithlilly]

This is an excuse, is it?  This is not the fault of The Government.

What Cultural Element?  No one ever taught me how to cook because I am useless?  And no one ever taught me how to feed my children?

How do you think the rest of us managed?

Unless parents have suddenly become terrible in the last few years the rise in child admissions to hospital due to malnutrition must lie elsewhere. I’m not sure why everyone can’t see that the squeeze on benefits and the proliferation of zero hours contracts are the main cause.

Do you totally discount the roll out of mobile phone technology as a primary cause

In what way has mobile phone technology impacted on the rise in malnutrition amongst children ?

I have to tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my eyesight.  My brain is getting a bit dodgy, but only due to constant repetition of absolute rubbish.

Carrots?  Who needs them?  I would rather eat Asparagus.

Is it Right Wing or Left Wing?  I have rather lost track.  Either would use this.

I dont think it has...but you seem to be deciding what does based on no evidence so I just wondered how far your baseless accusations go.

2500 is quite a small number.......chldren are under 18s...how  many of those who are admitted do you think are due to eating disorders....which may well be on the increase

what proportion of thos ebeing admitted to hospital come from poor backgrounds..its raer in the Uk

Malnutrition caused by a poor diet is rare in the UK, but it can happen if a child is neglected, living in poverty or being abused.
