MY SNACK ATTACK

In a bid to remedy my family’s eating habits I have ripped out page five of yesterday’s Daily Mirror in which parents are urged to only give their kids just two 100-calorie snacks per day.

Yes, I confirm to youngest son, that is per day, not per ad break.

And yes, actually, there are kids somewhere who like rice cakes. And no, they’re not complete weirdos.

To ensure someone engages with the Government’s new guidelines I stick the story on the TV screen.

Eldest son reads it with a frown. “Don’t worry Mum. Fake news. It’s everywhere.”
