Have we as a society become so utterly reliant on the state that we are incapable of having any idea how to bring up our children or what makes (what I thought was) common sense nutrition without the government teaching us?
Some greens, some dairy, some protein from meat, fish or some pulses and beans. Sugar and fat to be moderated. Not rocket science.
Given we as a species have raised children with reasonable success for quite a long time no idea why we've suddenly forgotten how to, parental instinct and the need to procreate successfully have evidently disappeared.
It's a pretty grim indictment of us and a genuine shame but somewhere along the line we have evidently completely lost the plot, along with any pretence of looking after ourselves.
