  • Don’t Buy Any Lunch Boxes Which Cannot Be Taken Apart

    So today, something in me prompted me to pry open the glue in the kids lunch boxes. I saw a little black spot in the corners while washing them as usual. This is what I found to my utter disgust. I’m absolutely appalled. I feel totally awful that my children have been eating lunch out of these on a daily basis.

    The children’s lunchboxes have been hand washed each night & left open to dry, i always give them a wipe over with some kitchen towel before putting food in to ensure it is completely dry.

    We have been using the lunchbox for around nine months, so god knows how long the mold has been there, right next to my childs daily lunch, it is totally gross.

    ADVICE: don’t buy any lunch boxes that you can’t clean ALL the parts, if you do notice mold in your childs lunch box please contact the company you purchased it from and make them aware

    Feel free to share. Parents need to know!

    Tip: you can hold up the lighter ones to the light & the mould shows through.

    Health Effects. The presence of mold does not present a health risk in most cases. Airborne mold spores are a common allergen. Individuals with allergies to certain types of mold may exhibit allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, upper respiratory irritation, cough and eye irritation.

    Here’s What Really Happens if You Eat Mold. … The short answer is no, you’re probably not going to die from eating mold; you’ll digest it like any other food, and as long as you’ve got a relatively healthy immune system, the most you’ll experience is some nausea or vomiting due to the taste/idea of what you’ve just eaten.

  • Your Child Having A Nut Allergy Isn’t My Problem

    Your child having a nut allergy isn’t my problem.

    My son is seven years old and loves school, he is a very energetic happy lad but my son hates lunch time, all that Joseph likes is peanut butter sandwiches but one kid out of 300 students has a nut allergy.

    The school has made a no nut policy where no one is allowed to have any nut products in school.

    Ok great so one kid is allergic to nuts so now my son has to go without lunch, he won’t eat school dinners and only likes peanut butter in his sandwiches, he comes home from school and is starving, my poor boy is getting pains in his stomach because he is so hungry.

    I pack him a ham sandwich in the hope that he may eat it, all he eats the whole time he’s at school is a piece of fruit and a yogurt asnything else that he likes has traces of nuts in it.

    If my son was allergic to the sun they wouldn’t ban daytime now would they.

    Why not make this kid eat in another room or go home for lunch, it’s beyond a joke that one kid can rule over the school.

    I mean seriously if we didn’t wrap our kids up in cotton wool half these kids with allergies wouldn’t have got them in the first place.

    When I was growing up no one had allergies as our mums ate what they wanted when they were pregnant, we didn’t anti bac everything and let kids get dirty and eat what they wanted and if a child had an issue it was their problem not the whole school or community.

    If your kid has a nut allergy it really isn’t my problem nor my sons we shouldn’t have to make changes for one person.
