Re: Sugar tax
I totally agree with you Margaret about good home-cooked meals as against those ready-made ones. If the word obesity had been used when I was a child growing up, when meals were prepared from scratch at home, I reckon people would have had to look it up in the dictionary to find out what it meant. Fast food would have referred to eating what was on your plate quickly on the odd chance there were any leftovers to share.
Life can be very cruel and I feel so sorry for your daughter and condemn those of the public who make judgements on others without knowing the facts – although it’s got absolutely nothing to do with them anyway even if they did know.
I do cringe, however, when I see very obese adults feeding their faces with double helpings of fatty and/or sugary food and drink and giving their children the same, knowing how their own obesity interferes with their standard of living and the problems they encounter through it. Not my business of course what they do with their own bodies, but personally I think it is a form of child abuse when they bring up their children in the same way. Certainly not good parenting.
