Again, I want to set something up to ensure ALL children, benefit from healthy foods which are rich in the nutrients they need! I see something that you as parents may not, being around children 12 hours a day! I see alot of brands which are favoured amongst parents such as Innocent, Nature and earth peanut butter and chocolate spread, Neo valley, Eco friendly washing up liquid and washing up powder. Even clothing brands such as Boden, Why? Why these brands? Why not others! Feedback would be great! I believe that this will turn into something beneficial for all parents, once have finished creating something special for everyone! but I need to research first!


Please be honest, don't be shy :)

If there is something in the list of ingredients that I don't know, then I will not buy it.....what is fructo-oligsaccharides for example, most likely a sugar of some sort! That is listed on a mini pack of nesquik chocolate cereal left over from a multi pack of cereals which we bought for camping last summer! Hubby will eat them!


I try and buy food which hasn't been handled too often......birds eye fish fingers, as lovely as they are have been handled a lot to get to what they are. I buy fillets off the fish counter, and make breadcrumbs, hey presto a fish finger!


I prefer to bake cake and biscuits than buy them for the same reasons. They don't last as long of course!


I look forward to following this thread......

I can't help smiling at your post Sbot. I am exactly the same.

I also like to read ingredients lists and will not buy anything with dodgy sounding fats or sugars. I have a slight fixation about rapeseed oil (v high omega 3) which I now bake and fry with. Ocado sell breaded fish fillets which have rapeseed in the coating. We all have these every Monday night with home made oven chips and peas.

I make my own chicken nuggets.

:-)

I wish I could say I check the label of all the foods I buy but shock horror I don't!!! I've got 3 boys, I work 3 days a week, I don't have a cleaner so life is quite full on, if I had more free time perhaps I would stress over what they eat, but I'm quite relaxed in that as long as they are getting some protein (chicken or fish fingers, frozen ones!) enough vegtables, fruit, carbs etc each day, well thats good enough for me. In an ideal world I would love to bake cakes and treats every day for the family......but I dont so they eat jam tarts, cookies,crisps all of which are full of things I probably wouldn't want to know about BUT they eat these in moderation , same as when I was a kid, it hasn't done me any harm, I'm 33 and I've only got 1 filling!!

PS They eat honey nut cheerios most days but have been known to eat coco pops when I've got the variety packs!!! (hold my head in shame now :))

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
