A few years ago Jamie Oliver made a valiant attempt to improve school meal from the 'turkey' twizzlers and chips (fries) to something a little more nutritious and healthy while still being within the budgets and abilities of the average state school.

As a cashier, you can almost always tell which customers have kids and which don't.by what they put on the belt. Non-childed folks often buy more healthy stuff (fruits and vegetables) then childed folks, who tend to by a lot of heavily processed cereals (Fruity Pebbles) yogurts (think Danimals and Go-gurts) and anything that is gummy, Lunchable, or comes in a tiny squeezable pouch.

I'm sorry but I have no sympathies for the "parents" and I think their kids need to be taken away and the useless wastes sterilized. If you are a sahmoo you not only have time, but you should also have the motivation to cook healthy for you family. I can't cook....as evidenced by the rice cooker picture....I am useless in the kitchen but I do my best to at least try on occasion to learn. Not only that I do try my best to eat the healthier t.v dinners that don't cost an arm and a leg. I can get a Healthy Choice meal for around 2.50 for lunch. I can eat toast for breakfast and have a smoothie or another t.v dinner for dinner. I can do all of this for well under 10 dollars a day. One takeout meal for an average family of four at the cheapest would cost at least 20 dollars for one meal. Yet we hear how broke they are with no effort put forth to just try to cook. I want to be a fly on the wall when their benefits run out because their spawn are now adults.

Well there was plenty more trainwreck in the second episode. The Romanian girl's parents wanted their kid to have surgery so that they didn't have to change the way they ate - because it was too hard!

When everybody else in school is bullying Pavia for being fat, her friends don't want to get bullied by association and will distance themselves. Given that Pavia, her family, and their slovenly ways have been aired on national television, I would be surprised if bullying did not happen as a result.

The thing about this which really makes me angry is the way so many of the parents seem so blasé about the prospect of their children having major surgery. With general anaesthetic there's always a risk of death, even in young and healthy people, and in obese people it's even greater than usual- and the parents don't give a shit. Again, they'd do anything for a quiet life, even if that means putting one of their children at risk of death, and the stomach reduction surgery changing their life forever even if they did manage to survive. I couldn't help wondering if any of the parents were hoping the surgeons would inadvertently perform a PNA here.
