Jamie Oliver and why children can't be held accountable.
By
Alright
first a big congrats to comrade Doug D. for becoming a new father. Now I haven’t met personally but I have conversed with him through email and he’s a physical culturist like me that understands proper eating and exercise habits. I have no doubt that the daughter that he just welcomed to the world will grow up happy and healthy with his guidance.
but that’s more then I can say about most parents
I was watching the Jamie Olliver show over the weekend (an excellent show) and just had to rant about it. You see Jamie heard about the unhealthiest county in the US (I don’t remember which one it is off the top of my head) and was faced with just a ton of crap. Rules set in place that made it practically impossible to eat a healthy food (pizza doesn’t violate the nutrition standards but 7 vegetable lo mein does? wtf?). Much to his credit he did get the schools to change to healthy lunches…at least in the cafeteria
but that didn’t stop the kids from bringing in crap from home…and almost quite literally crap
you see most of the crap that they are bringing in are horrible for you. If you feel like you have to take a chemistry class just to read the fu_king ingredients then chances are you shouldn’t be giving it to your kids to eat. Now you might be thinking “well that’s the unhealthiest county in the nation…of course they aren’t eating correctly”
well maybe they are the unhealthiest county in the nation but it’s practically everywhere
in the schools here kids are bringing in lunchables, chicken nuggets and junk food and all sorts of crap that’s bad for you. If its happening here…its probably happening everywhere. And you know you hear the parents always making up excuses. “but this is what the kid likes”, “he screams and carrys on until i give in”. which one of you @$$holes is in charge anyways?
i think its maybe time for a bit of tough love
you can’t expect kids to make good decisions for themselves. they’re kids. they’re id controlled. it is up to you the parent (chances are if you are reading my blog you aren’t guilty of this so im not singling you out, unless you are in fact guilty which then yes i am singling you out) anyways…its up to you the parent to make the proper decisions FOR the kids. Would you let your kids play with guns? How about fire? If your kids wanted to drink the stuff you keep under the sink would you let them? Like it or not you are responsible for your children. If you let them make their own decisions all the time you are dodging your responsibilities. Hell if you want to be unhealthy thats your problem…but if you decide to let your kids eat a bunch of $hit then it isn’t your problem, its your kids but its your fault.
This is the first generation that is expected to have a shorter life span then it’s parents. That is a shame and its the parents fault, not the kids. The other thing is everything that a kid does in life programs the way they think in the future. When the kids are old enough to make decisions for themselves it will be too late because they have already been programmed to eat like a porker…and once again…its your fault.
If you want to be part of the solution not the problem then get your ass over to JamieOliver.com and sign his petition.
