Re: if you have a fat kid ....blame the microwave

I very rarely eat microwaved food. And me and my girlfriend have already talked about giving the little one microwaved food when he is older, and we both agreed its a bad idea. I cant understand why people think microwaved food is quicker to make, most of them take roughly 8minutes, in 8 minutes i could probably prepare a full meal and then it just needs leaving to cook and serving 20minutes later. Its not hard to cook. But i think its unfair to just blame food for kids being fat, anyone with any sense will tell you that in order to maintain a reasonable weight regular exercise is essential, but most the kids i know are far more interested in computer games and tv, parents need to teach thier children better about the problems of being overweight. And as for the warming of babies bottles in the microwave we were told by several health professionals that its not a good idea, as microwaves dont heat things evenly so what seems like a fine temperature at first could have a scolding hot patch in the middle.
