Recently a school in the UK has banned the cafeteria from serving their students triangle-shaped flapjacks. For those who don't know, flapjacks in the UK are baked "granola bars." The reason they are being banned is quite ridiculous but so is the proposal. One student got poked in the eye during a food fight. To go in further detail, the boy had a triangular shaped flapjack "hurled" at his face by another student. The boy had to be treated by the school nurse for having a "sore eye". The school then decided to take action and ban any triangle shaped foods from being made and fed to the students. Now only rectangular and square-shaped flapjacks can be made, however some critics say that square flapjacks have even more potential to be dangerous, with more pointed sides.
In my opinion maybe the school should focus on preventing food fights instead of the shape of foods. Everyone would benefit more...

this was the stupidest thing in the world are we going to ban everything else? cause you know u can choke on a grape or any other food. If a grape was thrown at a boys i and it was sore are we banning those foods too?
ReplyDeleteLol, this was the first post to come up in my feed. This literally made my day! I can just imagine some old guy in a committee, squinting saying "Too many pointed sides, you'll poke your eyes out!" I think some of these sites post articles like this to make people laugh. *Cough, cough* Huffington Post.
