I sometimes sit outside the supermarket and watch what adults have in their shopping trolleys that they take home and feed to their kids. Things such as potato crisps, soft drinks, packet pizzas etc. Some people don't even buy fruit and fresh vegetables.

Adults can't blame the government or the fast food companies for what they put in their shopping trolleys and an odd fast meal as a treat for kids is okay but it is what they serve at home is doing the most damage.

The problem is that people do too much shopping in the centre of the supermarket where all the processed foods are instead of around the outside areas where all the fresh food is.
Wondered where you got to Baz. Hope you're OK now. I was in the Woollies the other day and the woman in front of me (about 17 or 18 stone I'd estimate) with three young kids (all overweight I might add) had 2 trollies stacked to the rafters with instant this, frozen that, sausages, hamburgers, frozen chips, toilet rolls and all the usual horrible fattening food. On top of the second trolley was a carton of cans of DIET COKE....I fair pi$$ed myself laughing (hard to do quietly). She made a choice... to make sure her kids stayed obese like her. I reckon its tantamount to child abuse.
That is definitely my last word. My diabetes and obesity has made me grumpy now. Goodnight everyone...
