Surely everything in moderation? My 5 year old daughter in y1 would love that pizza day but she also knows what a vegetable is, it's not one or the other. She eats all sorts. Miserable joyless cow, I feel sorry for her kid (if it's even real).

It’s the comment about using seasonal veg instead that got me. So Mumsnet that, piles of veg“Am I ahead of the learning curve” ffs
No you must be one of the only people to know that too much pizza would be unhealthy (which this is not), so definitely go and educate the teachers with your knowledge!
It probably is made up though , everything is so dramatic and far fetched! Today there will be a story about the DS/DD of a builder that has a large friend who's parents are on benefits and after a visit to their house they cannot believe there was no toilet brush in their loo and the house was so untidy it gave the mother anxiety when she collected them. To calm the waters she took them home and gave them some
The people that truly believe the constant tit written on that site are just as bad.
I live near several local schools, one a secondary and rarely see a child who looks overweight. The majority seem to be on the slim side & some kids are more solid built than others. Talk about causing self esteem issues in the young but I guess the diet industries favour it.
You’re wrong, all the children you see are obese but you’re so used to it they look slim. Or something like that.
If you can’t see their ribs protruding they are definitely overweight
and some may even add ‘ its child abuse’.
No, kids are amazingly large. I think it's because, as a nation, we are so large we can no longer tell what a healthy body should look like. Foreigners are always shocked by how huge we are.
Well I don't see it so apparently I'm a hippo?
Plus I've seen pictures of people during wartime. Most were slim and a few overweight so same as now. If you said diets are really unhealthy then yes.
And yes many overweight adults, not so many little ones and teenagers. One can always spot the self righteous bullies.

There is a new thread today on MN for our enjoyment. Outrage because MIL cleaned the bathroom and emptied the bin.
That completely ignores ethnicity, both in the stats gathering and in 'foreigners are always shocked at how huge we are'. And quoting both the percentage of Overweight and Obese and then Obese alone creates the impression that it's even more, rather than duplication of some of the figures.
Another way of putting it would be that 72% of 4-5 year olds and 70% are not overweight or obese in terms of the ranges set for white bodies where the participants' ethnicity has been ignored.
I live and work in one of those places and can say anecdotally that one of the consequences of this is putting a significant number of black children into an inappropriate category when they are absolutely a perfect weight for their size, build and developmental stage. Yes, there are some who are undoubtedly overweight, but far more aren't - but they're being judged on a standard set with reference to white British children. Which also contributes to the adultification of black children - because their normal development and build is not the same as that of their white counterparts, they're assumed to be older.
Fundamentally though, there is nothing wrong with Pizza. It's bread (a carbohydrate), a healthy oil (olive), usually tomato (a fruit with very high levels of polyphenols), and usually cheese (a protein source). So it's a healthy food, as it contains all food groups and a huge range of nutrients. It's inexpensive, can be eaten hot or cold and can be infinitely varied to take advantage of small amounts of ingredients. To use something that is suitable for almost everybody (the Celiacs amongst us are rarer, but we can also be catered for) and presenting it in a way that makes it more healthy/nutritious, ie, as it was originally developed - proper bread,, olive oil, unsweetened tomato, vegetables, cheese, small amounts of meat for flavour and herbs - is targeting a popular and accessible, inexpensive, foodstuff and encouraging choices that mean the advantages of the meal are heightened. It's also a great vehicle for encouraging kids to accept other items and tastes - onion, garlic, anchovies, oregano, basil, peppers, chilli, spices (as many cultures have a standard dish that involves bread with toppings), mushrooms, spinach, stronger cheeses...because it's already a known and liked product.
It's typical Mumnet to criticise one of the healthiest, cheapest, most accessible and universally recognised foodstuffs worldwide - bread with toppings - from their position of demonising both the poor and those from other ethnicities.
It's also pure ignorance and shows their narrow worldview- they think pizza is automatically Dominos or something
All threads about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp on there are about how she’s being dragged through the mud because she’s a woman and it’s misogyny. They can’t accept that sometimes women are wronguns as well as men.
Unless their name is Meghan.

They are all just stuck up bleeps and think their tit doesn’t stink. I much prefer it here where you can have a laugh and a decent discussion without being shut down and it genuinely feels like everyone is welcome here, unlike on there where if you’re not white, female, middle class, then you might as well be dead.

They also make these awful long winded posts with ‘background’ when asking for advice, containing more waffle than an episode of Steve Wright in the Afternoon. Like just get to the sodding point will you.
omg I was thinking this earlier - it’s so annoying! I spend half the time trying to work out who they’re on about, eventually think oh ok maybe it’s their dad but oh no, ‘ddd’ turns out to be dear dead dog!
yep, and they alllllways manage to sneak in their high salary and the fact that ‘DS’ has ten degrees at the age of 15!
So long as you aren't TOO middle class, because if you dare to enjoy life or any luxury whatsoever, you will be jumped on by someone who had to walk 10 miles to school on a bowl of gruel after putting in a shift at the mine.I used to be a regular user of Mumsnet until I saw the light and joined Tattle.

Come on, that’s obviously not true. If all those people were dead, who would be their cleaners.I used to be a regular user of Mumsnet until I saw the light and joined Tattle.
