I presume that Ms Flint has no decent ideas of her own and none of her colleagues do either.<BR/><BR/>If someone has never seen a particular vegetable or fruit before that sort of suggests that the education system system is wanting, the thing is not typically grown in the UK or the person is simply not interested and claiming it is scary is a face saving way out. Probably all three in fact.<BR/><BR/>However the reality may be that the object is something exotic flown in from the other side of the world mainly because it offers interest to a few relatively high spending shoppers and sells at a higher margin.<BR/><BR/>So Ms. Flint may be encouraging people to assist supermakets with their profits and promoting produce that encourages air freight which, if I am not mistaken, is a very emotive subject amongst the eco-warrior clans on at least two fronts. One being issues of trade and the other being related to claimed climate change and supposed seffect of carbon dioxide output from aeroplanes.<BR/><BR/>This Ms. Flint seems to be a long way off message with this one.

They will then cluck with appreciation before fouling themselves.<BR/><BR/>On another point:<BR/>"People resent being told by the state what to eat, and will rebel."<BR/><BR/>Ken, have you become a starry-eyed optimist? Nanny will see to it that their impulse to rebel, such as it is, never advances beyond that of demanding a fresh bottle and a clean diaper (or 'nappy' if you prefer).<BR/><BR/>Finally, why is Ms. Flint's job title not 'Mistress of Fitness'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1161422656206819382006-10-21T10:24:00.000+01:002006-10-21T10:24:00.000+01:00The Hitler Youth did much the same thing:)The Hitler Youth did much the same thing:)Ken Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1161421238139542312006-10-21T10:00:00.000+01:002006-10-21T10:00:00.000+01:00Well written Ken.

When you say about parents getting lazy and relying on the State to provide help it reminds me of SureStart. We live in an area deemed elegible for Nanny's help in bringing up our young son (if we lived around the corner we wouldn't be, because certain streets are more affable etc). <BR/><BR/>Once we recieved a letter saying that someone was coming round to teach my wife and I how to brush our son's teeth. They invited themselves. I managed to contact them and tell them it wouldn't be necessery. They called it the Brighter Smiles campaign. But the bombardment of letters continued and it wasn't until after numerous e-mails that they finally got the picture. I got a nice e-mail apologising for the harrasment saying they where following strict government guidelines. <BR/><BR/>The rouble is a lot of parents end up relying on Surestart because it is easy. They take the kids on days out, feed them, bath them, well everything that any able parent should do. If this service was taken away we would have a huge social problem because too many people are reliant on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
