Hi there,


I am looking for parents to very briefly chat to for article I am writing on the truth about what we feed our children.


After the backlash against Gwyneth Paltrow feeding her kids a low-carb diet, and a survey by the Department of Health showing that mothers are feeding their babies by 100 calories too much per day, I'd like to talk to a selection of parents with kids between 0 and 12 to find out the kind of things they feed their children - the more surprising the better.


Are you quite relaxed about what you feed your children? Or do you take the hard line and only choose certain products? Do you spend a lot of money making sure they only eat the best quality food? Or do your kids have special requirements which means they are on unusual diets?


I'd love to hear from you if you have a strong opinion or if you have an unusual/super healthy/very relaxed approach to feeding your children.


If you're interested, please get in touch on [email protected].

Thanks very much,

Emily

Appreciate you are simply reporting this EmilyCP, not pushing it, but how on earth does the department of health get to us feeding our babies by 100 calories per day "too much ".


Love to see whatever passes for maths behind that statement.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
