Anger and happiness on a Friday afternoon
Discussion
So a little girl was banned from taking pictures of her school dinner and blogging about it.
Boo!
This makes me angry.
On the other hand, she has a link to a charity that helps feed children in Africa, and as Argyll & Bute Council's arseheaded decision has hit the twitterwebs, it's gone mental.
Yay!
Click this one, give them some money
This makes me happy.

Now up to over £12.5k you really have to wonder about the intelligence of the council bod who vetoed her blog.Boo!

I know being accurate is sometimes frowned upon on PH but I can't see where her blogging is banned. All she's being banned from is taking pictures of the food which seems a bit less unreasonable but hey why let accuracy get in the way of a ranty Friday non-story
She's being banned from taking photographs. Of food.Explain how that's reasonable, if you would? I genuinely don't see it.

A quick look at the blog, would reveal that the primary part of each review is a photograph . . . .if your drawing parallels with pistonheads, imagine the impact of the dirty takeaway thread, without pictures Heard about this on 5-live this morning, so had a look at this young girls blog from the above link.
I can't see what the fuss is about. She is just reviewing what she eats at school and rating it. No different than a restaurant critic does. If it helps to maintain school meal standards then thats all to the good.
Aparently this girl wants a career in journalism, this is an excellent way for her to learn her craft from an early age and it should be encouraged. Her writing is excellent and interesting. No where in her blog have I seen any unreasonable comment about the food. She's being objective and now wants to understand where her food comes from.
I'd love her to keep on doing her blog and not take this fuss from the council do-gooders. One of life's lessons, get knocked down, dust yourself off and carry on!!

Why does this seem less unreasonable to you? 'cause it surely doesn't to me.bhstewie said:
