More political tinkering with education.

Seems that kids are now going to be taught cooking while at school as part of the crusade to reduce obesity. Read more here.

To be honest I actually thought they did that already having been the subject of many a experiment over the years. My daughters favourite dish to cook is one of those from school. Although the way she makes it is certainly not what I would class as healthy enough to fit into the new crusade on obesity.

The only thing I really wonder about is what they are going to replace on the curriculum. Will it be something like RE? After all churches will do that for free. More than likely it will actually be a subject like drama , history, geography. All things that most people don't actually use in their day to day lives but we still need to ensure they have a basic grounding in. Although knowing this government it is just as likely to be English reading. After all if they can ban books on flights then the power of the word is clearly dangerous.

Won't be long before everything you need to get on in life is taught in school, how to get up, dressed and have a nice healthy breakfast, basic maths, English language, cooking healthy meals, basic sciences and political science just to make sure you vote for 'democracy' and freedom. No reading or writing because it just is no longer required. The state is mother, father and God.

Choices over the next ten years on your voting screen are 'Blair, Prescott, Blunkett, Reid'. Support democracy.
