Eeew to all of the dishes listed above but ok, I’ll rephrase it as: every person speaking a language with strong celtic/nordic influences sadly has spent their life surrounded by shitty food.

That reminds me of another unpopular opinion! I've only ever had a milkshake once, and they're not for me
Someone once told me the ancient and untrue urban legend about Marc Almond having several pints of semen pumped out of his stomach, just as I was about to take a gulp of a frothy banana milkshake. I have never been able to face one since. Frothy coffee and frothy hot chocolate are delicious. Anything cold and frothy and a bit glutinous makes me feel queasy and I get a Tainted Love earworm.

Another unpopular opinion before bedtime...

Kids should be able to claim back a percentage of the money that their influencer parents earned while exploiting them on YouTube.

I completely agree. To be honest I think laws should be brought in like with child actors where they have someone independent looking out for their best interests and making sure they aren’t being overworked etc (I know Instagram isn’t like acting but there should be something which allows them for time away from the camera)

*Takes deep breath
Plus this isn’t ALL families*
Anyway a lot of the families that need help to feed their kids actually need help with budgeting and batch cooking. Planning meals and how to get the most out of food.

I'm sure this isn't unpopular but woman still do more than the lions share when it come to Christmas. I know a couple of men that like to do the Christmas dinner but on the whole every other aspect is down to the woman.

My perfect Christmas would be to actually go away for the holiday.

I agree. I rescued a dog and thought he felt like a toast rack but when I took him to the vet for a first check the vet said he wouldn’t want to see him gain much. Sadly he has and his ribs can’t be felt any more but we’re working on it.

I get very frustrated when I see people saying that buying junk food is cheaper than fresh. That is nonsense. Fresh vegetables are very cheap and you can pick up something like chicken thighs for a very reasonable price. It's far cheaper than buying boxes of pizza or oven chips.

I think it depends where you live and how much depravation and size of family ,where I live four apples costs the same as a bag of frozen chips and 2 loaves of bread a mother will pick the latter to feed her hungry kids imo

It doesn't get much cheaper than picking up some broccoli for 50p.

It probably comes down to the vast majority of people not knowing how to cook. I do put myself in this category btw. But even if you do want to give the kids pizza or fish fingers there's no excuse not to stick some broccoli or carrot on the side. I can pick up 6 pack of apples from Tesco for 79p.

100 % agree. In a similar vein there is absolutely no excuse for a child to go to school without breakfast. Always bread reduced to 20 odd pence at the coop, freeze it and its fine for toast. Fun size apples .49 p at aldi.
