Poor diet

[STEMO]

My lad has just been down for his 'breakfast', toast, crisps and a can of diet coke. He doesn't go back to uni for another three weeks and, while he's been off, I've been watching what he eats (apart from the evening meal that I cook). Basically, it's shite, so I sent him this link:

Yes a terrible story if all true!!

But taking it all 'as read' where were his parents, did they act like caring adults, or take the easy route with a stropulous teenager, and we know what that is like, and just give up "telling him"?

Very, very sad though!

Why wouldn't it be true?

The BBC also carried the story.

I bet he isn't the only one out there either.

Oh and I too blame the parents.  The dessert spoon on the knuckles was a good way to get greens eaten up.

Because here on the OOF we have been taught to be very sceptical until we know the full facts

But you are right Varche, it does appear that it is "as read", and yes there MUST be many more

Yeah...up to his room. Modern life, eh?

Like I say, I blame it on the parents.

So no family dining all together, no tv just old fashioned conversation . Hey ho.

We have our tea together. It just means I have to cook separate meals, cause he won't eat the same as us.

Aspergers, Dave, he won't eat what he won't eat. I'm immensely proud of him making it to uni, I never thought he'd be capable of doing it on his own.

My old dad use to sniff the air, pull a face and say "A farmer'd keep you for your shite, lad".

Or....."Smells like a rat's crawled up your hole and died". 


He was very...erm....earthy, my dad.

it's still a mystery to us all how you persuaded a young lady such as your wife that you were a catch .. what with your effluent and all.

You must be hung like a donkey
