Not specifically an East Dulwich issue - but wanted to bring your attention to a Southwark wide event. If you can't attend the event but have concerns, ideas, questions to share we'll also be setting up an online survey. If you'd like to join our mailing list and receive this info directly please email Keri Lewis at [email protected] Otherwise I will post details on this site or at www.southwarkpct.nhs.uk

Thanks.

Let?s talk about weight

Southwark has one of the highest levels of child obesity in the country. More than 40 % of the borough's children are classed as "overweight and obese" when they leave primary school, and that?s storing up a lifetime of health risks for the next generation. We need to talk about weight and what we can do to shape up Southwark for the future.

NHS Southwark and Southwark Council are holding an open discussion on 24 November to gather views, ideas and information, so if you are a Southwark resident, a concerned parent, or if you work or volunteer with families and children in Southwark, please come to join in the conversation about our children?s health.

24 November 2011

12 - 3.30pm

Thurlow Community Hall, 1 Thurlow Road SE17 2US.

Please email [email protected] or call 020 7525 0273 to find out more and book a place

- Chicks and ducklings

  Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country. 10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies. Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge. I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

  I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining. And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend. So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure. I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

  If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

  I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy. We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
