Bwahahahahah, splurt, giggle, snort. Good one Zc, you should go on the stage mate.
Mr Goldsmith said yesterday: "The Telegraph’s campaign to reclaim childhood for the next generation is one I wholly support.
"We’ve
arrived at a point where childhood, and all things that go with it, are
inconvenient, with the natural impulses of children increasingly
diagnosed as inappropriate once they enter a nursery or school
environment."
He added that he thought the NHS
should stop relying on the diagnosis of conditions such as ADHD, which
usually led to the prescription of drugs such as Ritalin.
"It’s
worrying that the medical establishment’s default response to
behavioural difficulties is to reach for pills. Something is obviously
triggering an increase in their use and the first role of the health
service should be to identify what that is.
"If a
real investigation took place we’d almost certainly discover problems
with the food children are eating. But we’d also have to confront the
fact that despite unprecedented material wealth, children aren’t
thriving."
Stunning, eh? An organic farmer tells us it is all because people are eating non-organic food. Couldn’t see that one coming, no siree.
How about sticking with the first part of the analysis? That the natural impulses are inconvenient. Most especially, that the natural impulses of boys (fractious, easily bored, short attention spans) are diagnosed as something wrong when they are , in fact, simply boys being boys.
