    Eat rubbish by all means - that's your prerogative, but I think you owe it to your kids what it is you are putting on a plate for them.

    You've lost me on this one.
    A bit OTT and hysterical don't you think?

    The food passed Food standard agency and you will be giving me a lecture and try to guilt trip me here on how I owe something to the kids???:rotfl:
    (I don't have any by the way)

    This argument is getting ridiculous... I am out.

    So what can I do with burgers other than put them in a bun?

    I sometimes grill or barbie burgers and then chop them into pieces. I then place the pieces in a tortilla wrap with grated cheese, lettuce cucumber and spring onion and then garnish with salsa and cheese & garlic dip or sour cream..... ....Oh heck I want one now!!

    Lost You? OTT? This argument is getting ridiculous?

    Tell me what is untrue, ridiculous or incorrect in my comments - the truth can hurt sometimes.

    I am lecturing nobody - I don't think it requires a nutritionist to know that stuffing kids full of cr&p is not good.

    I think the Turkey Twizzler episode highlights that assertion - and the Food Standard Agency will have 'passed' those as well.

    Lard, pies, pasties, chips, chocolate, sugary drinks can all be sold legally - but that does not justify stuffing your kids with these items on a regular basis.

    It saddens me to see kids in push chairs sucking on sausage rolls just to keep them quiet. We have another name for Gregg's sausage rolls up here - 'Geordie Dummies' - laughable in some respects but sad for the kids who will likely become obese in their early years.

    Figures on the increased numbers of clinically obese kids is alarming - those cannot be disputed.

    As alluded to earlier, I am lecturing nobody - I have expressed my opinion and having been a real lard &r$e myself when I was younger, I am aware of the misery that stuffing your face with rubbish can cause.

    I will reiterate what I stated earlier, I honestly believe that any responsible parent should consider what they are feeding their kids and if you are flaming me for that without a valid counter argument, then until you have kids of your own, some may suggest you should reserve your own counsel on the issue as you are hardy qualified or in a position to be so critical.
