Hi everyone!
On Saturday we went to Thomas Land with the kids (3 and 1) and although we had a brillian day I was completely appaled by fodd which is being served there!!
There are about 10 eating places there and NONE serves healthy food!
Going there I didn't take any food with us, because I thought there will be plenty to choose from - wrong!
In all the joints it is a variation of fish and chips, crisps, bread rolls, pies, full fried breakfast (everything fried, including bread), thick greasy pizzas and hot dogs (all white bread) and sandwiches... There was a roast dinner option, but everything looked as if it was smothered in oil and grease... Even carrots...
I managed to find a salad bar, BUT (and I am not joking) it had a bowl of lettice leaves (already turning black), 5 slices of tomato, 5 of cucomber, empty bowl of colslaw and a potatoe salad in mayoAw, and also remains of tuna mixed with mayo! That was IT!!!
So all I had during the day was fat free youghurt (the cheapest brand you can possibly have with tons of sugar!) and full fat latte (I always have skimmed, but there wasn't an option!)
My hubby and older son had to do with sanwiches and we had baby food for baby with us!
What I mean - it is a FAMILY park, yet no healthy foods whatsoever! NONE! I was standing in a cue with my youghurt and coffees and behind me was a family, which included a girl aged 10 - 12... Who looked like she was 8 months pregnant... Plate piled high with the eralier mentioned fried english breakfast and a slice of cake! And that was the choise of most people in the particular eating place...
I just wanted to violently shake her mother (overweight too) and hit her on the head with the stick!!! What on earth partents are you doing to your kids!!!
I was a fat kid myself! I have been fat since I was 2! Forever.... And if I accept that it was my fault of not being able to shut my mouth and not cram it with junk later in life, but we learn our eating habits in childhood! There is still a tiny bit of anger left in me for my mum, who, as a responsible adult didn't teach me the value of my body!!! (The anger eased up a lot after she paied most for my op... I think she felt that guilt too...).
I remember the whole feel of complete misery for being fat! For godness sake - I went on my first "diet" when I was 6!!! Because since I was 3 I was teased fat cow and fatty anf lardess and alll the other cruel little names kids are so generous of!
I would NEVER let that happen with my children... My 3 year old knows that smoothies is good and crisps are bad (I do let him choose what he wants during our Sunday special coffee and babychino time and today he chose smoothie! I was sooo proud!).
What are the parents thinking!!???
I am sorry for my rant, but it just boils my blood and heart with it! Something too close to my heart....
