breakfast

This seems like bilge to me. Kids eat the same now as they did 30 years ago, 40 years ago. We had Golden Nuggets and Coco Pops, they weren't invented last week. We had chocolate cornflakes and tony the tiger and sugar puffs.


What we didn't have were cartoon channels and playstations. We had whole days up the park playing tinpanalley and kiss chase and spraying each other with the water fountain. They sit in smelly bedrooms picking their noses and killing monsters by remote control.

We also didn't have canteen style school dinners with burgers and chips every day. We didn't go down the chip shop and have a 50p cone of chips instead of eating beef cobbler and semolina at school. We also had free school milk till 1974.

Yet more useless research, yet more scientists who would contribute more to society if they were on the dole.

(Also, and in addition, and I would like to add, everyone knows that the best breakfast, the most fillingest breakfast, the one that makes you feel you could skip lunch altogether, is the Full English, bacon sausages and eggs with fried bread and whatever else lard you can get hold of. And most parents spend their entire lives as parents trying to get kids to eat a proper lunch, not wishing they would eat less. So stick that in your research pipe and smoke it. I suspect these researchers were funded by Quaker's Porridge.)
