I have heard this story from my teacher.
He is a great person.

A mother has a child of a primary school.
She works in double harness, and she is very busy.
And so her child can't eat any breakfast, and
has usually eaten fried chicken or croquettes for dinner.

Then her child was diagnosed as high blood pressure
in a physical checkup of a primary school.
The mother knew this fact, and she reflected obediently
that she had cut corners in cooking for a reason
of busyness.

After that she has come home as soon as possible,
and she has cooked food of good balance for breakfast
and dinner, that is, vegetables and fishes are main.

Everybody eats food everyday, and so homemakers
take on health care of families.

She should have prevented the incident beforehand.
I think modern society isn't very good for our health. When I eat it's usually while I'm driving but I often just have coffee for lunch. I never stop to eat lunch. I do eat breakfast and sometimes it's a good breakfast but sometimes I just eat a banana as I'm running out the door.
My Japanese teacher finds this surprising. She always stops to eat and is very careful about what she eats. I don't think her diet is wholly Japanese, I'm sure there are some Western influences on what she eats but I think she is much healthier than most Westerners I know.
Is this a single mother's story?

I believe this story made by a male.
Because there is no responsibilty for a man who should be here as husband
and I don't see any mother's love from this story.

In reality, Most of single mothers who have children think their children first. Food is very important for everybody. If they know about food, they will give you proper food to live.

Maybe I misunderstood this story.







Aki, I think you have a good point. It makes the health of the child seem like only the female's responsibility.
Someone is misunderstanding the point, meal is not important in the story but responsibility for her own child.

The story is: a mother didn't care her kid fairly enough, then her loved one got sick. And she realized her mistake at last, so she changed her mind.

The tale told by a male teacher seems to be a single mother's. Because she had 2 jobs, and worked longer, probably to support her family.

>> Someone is misunderstanding the point, meal is not important in the story but

Even more important is how the society must be able to better support such families so low-income parents (single or not) can get by without sacrificing themselves or their children.

Sure, ideally speaking, parents should put their children before anything else, and I am sure (like aki pointed out) they would do so if they could afford to. OTOH, how would they take proper care of their children if they had no money? How would you choose between "working two jobs and coming home late" and "staying with your children at home with no money"?

Seconded. "Cutting corners on home-cooked meals after working two jobs? What a terrible mother." ボケーっとした顔
Wives can kill their husbands by cook.It's not poison food but cook high calory fatty,and salty food. Slowly but surely.Be careful.


Different story, but the other day, I was thinking about 'eating' in future. People might not eat any more.Just picking some tablets like VC, calcium, colergen, etc...supermarket has boxes of tablets because of lack of food by strange weather = foods' price goes up = people can't buy food = getting nutrition from tablets more...Am I paranoid?

People might not feel hungry anymore(-"-;)

One of the important points of eating is communicating with family, friends, etc. Even if you have nutritious, tasty food, eating alone is not fun and not good for children's mind.
See, this is interesting. I was listening to NPR (like NHK radio in the States) yesterday, and during one of the programs they were interviewing a few doctors on the issue of high cholesterol in children. The upshot was that if children have obese parents, schools will sometimes recommend that the children receive blood cholesterol tests and receive drugs/dietary measures if necessary, in order to prevent health problems later in life. The interesting thing is that the study also found that certain children have high cholesterol but are not necessarily outwardly obese. These doctors are currently reviewing and conducting a series of studies, after which they will decide on whether to recommend to President Obama that all children at a certain age receive regular cholesterol checks.

Part of the problem, I think, is that some parents do not necessarily factor nutrition into their meal preparation plans. Some people seem to enjoy eating whatever they want, and then feel that they can apply the same thought to when they make meals for their children; obviously this doesn't necessarily work out. Moreover, it seems that some people forget that when they breast feed, whatever they are eating will pass on to their child.

I'm glad that in this case the mother learned what she could do... I would ask why the father didn't step in with his opinion, though...
I think this story is about single mother, too.
But the healthy food issue is very serious in U.S. and also obesity.
It just the fast food is just too economical.
Have you guys seen the movie "Food Inc."? It's as bad as "Super Size Me".
The Mexican family can not afford to buy apple or tomato's because $1can buy fast food burgers. It's so sad and serious.

I just started my site... If anyone has time to take a look... Thank you very much.

Thank you for giving me a example.
I'm not a law maker, so, I don't know what going on about this problem in Australia.
But I don't think Australian gorvernment waste money only for such a terrible mothers. I say there are many reasons that are worth to pay them.

I hope you don't look at single mothers that way all the time.
and more I think that you gave me a example that
call "child cruelly" that is a crime.・・・・・
I think that happening somewhere but I don't think it happning everywhere.

Actually you are talking about a fraction of a percentile so small
as to be insignificant, although I guess if you watch "A Current
Affair" or "Today Tonight" you could be forgiven for thinking
otherwise.
These so called current affairs programs use misleading reporting
techniques and while I wouldn't go so far as to say they can't be
trusted, I would say you need a very healthy dose of sceticism about
anything they report. They have been shown to use actors in place of
interviewees (a friend of mine who was struggling at University was
actually paid to appear in a story on how bad teenage drivers are
...he was in his mid-20s). That particular story might have had an
element of truth but most of it was fabricated.
I think that this woman has a husband, that is, not
a single mother.
She should work to keep “the level of life”,
because the household economy is not enough only
by her husband's income.

Now almost all Japanese wives should work for helping
the household economy.
Many wives are part-timers.
Who take care of children?

In Japan husbands generally don't take care of children.
It is a kind of Japanese custom, and husbands should
work until the night, or they should drink with
their coworkers after work.
And so only wives usually should take care of children
in Japan.
