Nick Tessla Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Who are we going to blame? The parents have to take some of the blame. There is nothing wrong, in principle, in using leftovers - it makes sense both financially and ecologically. The problem is what those leftovers consist of . In terms of carbs, how much does it cost to buy a bag of dried pasta - compared with going to the chippy or buying a bag of spuds to make your own chips ?

Lt Kije Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I agree Nick, but it's a sad fact that most of the parents we are talking about, would never have eaten or cooked pasta, what a sad state of affairs when the child is taking last nights cold chips to school for lunch.

Dizzy Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Stuff the EU....... where a kid goes to school with just cold chips or just a packet of biscuits in their lunch box the only people to blame are the child's parents or guardians (even if some of the kids do perhaps have to do their own packed lunches too due to bone idle parents). There is simply NO NEED for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
