Didn't do me any harm, indeed i got so used to permanent hunger & tiredness i can go without food for ages, ignoring hunger as just another voice in the background, and i would regularly stay awake for 2, 3 days to see what it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-46765737318417164122007-09-03T21:40:00.000+00:002007-09-03T21:40:00.000+00:00It's no good giving the kids healthy food at schoo...It's no good giving the kids healthy food at school when at home no one knows how to cook, so they continue to feed their addiction to micro-cr*p-in-a-box convenience food.
