  • Maybe also get some local businesses involved (fruit/veg/meat/milk) and explain that these kids are our future and we need to invest in them:D

    What age kids are we talking about?

    Good Luck hun, your doing a grand job.

    Thanks for all your input everyone:T
    I've even resorted to cooking lessons in my own kitchen to try to get some of the mums butts in gear :rotfl:
    A lot of them are at home and have plenty of time to cook but don't have a clue,the sense of apathy on this estate is terrible.We have cooking classes,healthy eating clubs,a brand new gym but the kids health is awful.Most people I know have no food in their cupboards even they buy it as they need it and its generally fast food,tins or ready meals:eek: I see kids on their way to school with a can of coke in one hand and crisps in the other.
    I've been waging my one woman crusade for years and the kids are coming round and so too are a few of the mums but the main issue I always get is price...So I am actually making up lunchboxes with pricetags to literally show them what you can do.
