I don’t have time to pack their lunch
But why do schools let children munch
On bags of chips covered in salt?
Blame the school teacher, it’s not my fault.
I can’t stop the choices my child makes
It’s up to them if they want cakes.
We’re a fast food culture is what they learn.
Blame the government, it’s not my concern.
I buy them it to keep them quiet
But burgers aren’t part of a healthy diet.
They just want it because it’s on TV.
Blame the broadcaster, but don’t blame me.
I support the move for them to halt
Adverts for food high in fat and salt
And show them only after nine.
To coincide with kids’ bedtime.
With that in place I have no doubt
My children will cut all junk out
So long as I can get over the stumbling block
Of getting them to sleep before nine o’clock.
