We're not sure how to respond to this odd story from the Daily Mail: "Triangular flapjacks banned from secondary school over health and safety fears after boy is hit in the eye during canteen food fight".
Apparently, the school has received official instructions to serve treats only when cut into squares or rectangles. In the UK, a flapjack is similar to an SA crunchie, made mainly out of oats.
Hang on a minute...
The question which springs to mind is, what about other potentially lethal foodstuffs, such as asparagus spears or pizza crusts? Bearing in mind that this is all taking place at a school where, presumably, kids have to use pens and pencils. Until those are declared Weapons of Mass Destruction, that is.
Rumour has it, another child has been taken into custody for threatening a fellow pupil with a sharpened banana. Not really, but you get where this could be going...
Do you think the pointy-food police took this too far?
