The children came home from school today and were practically banging their heads on the virtual brick wall, I had to stop the car when they told me about.

They had been talking about healthy eating and MLA had said the healthiest way to eat vegetables is to go and pick them and eat them immediately.  His teacher then said

‘but that’s dirty, you have to wash them first’

MLA quickly pointed that’s what he meant and that buying from the supermarket wasn’t that healthy as the vegetables there are covered in chemicals. This immediately was jumped upon by his teacher with the immortal words, and I apologise to Tesco’s but I am sure that they will find this statement a little naive as well;

‘Well Tesco’s has fresh vegetables that are picked and put on the shelves the very morning they are picked. They have no chemicals on or in them and are clean’

‘They are much healthier that picking ones from your own garden!’

There are times in ones life when you just have to shake your head in utter despair!

Think that should go in with the statement that all Schools in England are deeply religious!
