Thanks to Jamie bloody Oliver and his bright ideas, my kids school have adopted a healthy eating policy. My kids come home telling me theyve been fed rabbit food such as lettuce and celery. I wouldnt mind but now they expect the same at home, ive tried explaining to them that ketchup is made of tomatoes and smily faces are made of mashed potato but will they eat it? will they hell! Just last night the ungratefull little buggers refused the fries in their happy meal and asked for 'carrot sticks' instead. I'm at my wits end, do you think they would eat their turkey twizzlers if i wrapped them in a lettuce leaf to disguise it?

Mr Oliver is indeed a bad influence on todays kids. I don't know whats worse, discovering my 7 year old in her room slaughtering a sheep or catching her using my eBay account to bid on a shitty old VW camper.
Shoot the mockney bast*rd, that what I say!!!!

The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!

If my children were demanding turkey twizzlers, ketchup, smiley faces I'd be very worried, the fact your children are making a healthy choice in what they want to eat is great and you should encourage this totally, i kinda get the feeling its not what they are asking for is the problem but that you'd prefer they ate food that you just chuck in oven stop being lazy if you can not be bothered to prepare fresh healthy meals get them to help you, kids love getting involved in the kitchen.

You sound like a wonderful caring parent and should be really proud that your kids, with your encouragement, will probably grow into obese adults not knowing what real food is. No doubt they'll still be wondering about the use of quaint old-fashioned tools that used to be known as cutlery.
Surely everyone knows that if it isn't tinned, frozen, wrapped in plastic, and pumped full of chemicals, it can't possibly be unhealthy?
Have a good life.

Every single day we have to fight the bad celebrity influences over our children. The Naked Chef is a menace.
These are your children, not his, not the British governments! Just put your foot down.
Send them to school with lard sandwiches and don't let them eat the school's food.
Sneak high calorie and fats in every chance you get.
Chocolate, I've found if you drench "healthy" food in chocolate, the food loses its appeal, and you get the added benefit of added sugar & fat!
Toodles, and I wish there were more parents like you who cared so deeply about the status quo!

They have cut down all sugary things at alot of schools here. my school used to have a whole line just for junk like cookies, soda, chips etc. They got rid of ALL OF IT. I am soooooo mad cuz that stuff wasn't like even popular but it was a great line to buy food from cuz all the other kids parents would say the were not allowed to go in that line so no one would go there and me and my friends were like the only ones in that line. I AM REALLY MAD

You know, most parents have the opposite problem with their kids, and would love to have the problem you're having. If they are young, then you got a small window of opportunity here to get them to develop great eating habits. As they get older, I am sure they won't be as fanatical about it as they are now, but they will still want to be eating more of the carrots, apples, and celery instead of the chips, candy, and dough nuts if you encourage their desire to eat healthily right now.

After the childhood I had I've always felt strongly about child abuse, However if the little s*h*i*t*e*s consitantly refuse nutrisious food why not just beat them, At the end of the day I've always been told to be cruel to be kind.

well it`s extremely important that they have a balanced diet. have u considered deep fat frying their salad and putting a ton of french dressing on it to disguise the taste? i make me own french dressing by melting lots of lard and putting some vinegar in it and chopping up some herbs to make it look good. my kids are only 6 and 7 and are already 15stone. they love dinner time and tell their friends they eat healthily. mind u they do get bullied some at school but they dont mind :)

I know that it can be more expensive to cook proper food and takes longer but really you should be proud but i do know what you mean my daughters the same i do eat lots of healthy food but some times you just want to chuck some beans in the microwave and some oven chips and fish figers in the oven i think the resolve it to explain that its OK to eat unhealthy food some times
