A school's decision to ban triangular flapjacks after a pupil was hurt has been labelled "half-baked" by the Health and Safety Executive. It follows an incident at Castle View School in Canvey Island, Essex, when a boy was hit in the face by a flapjack. Catering staff at the school have been told only to serve square or rectangular flapjacks. The school said the "isolated accident" had led to a review of "the texture and shape of the flapjacks" provided.

Ha! They should outlaw those MSG ridden chips. (a least the flavored ones)
But not because you can put someone’s eye out.

So in GB only hands and fingers are allowed to eat?
Forks spoons and knifes are too dangerous, chopsticks could be used as projectiles, what else is left?

As a fan of Hamantashen, I find this deeply anti-semitic.

The Brits may as well line up for mass castration and get it over with.

Breitbart is just being obtuse. Pastry weapons are an acute problem.

I put the same as you. I should have read all the comments first.

If your pastries can be used as a weapon they’re overcooked, changing the shape won’t help.

I just sat down here with a bowl of salsa and a bag of Triangulos de Tortilla, and opened up this post.

I can find pop-tarts that are 18 to a box....I don’t know why anybody would need a box that big.

Sometimes I feel I’m living out a Monty Python comedy sketch. But they had an ending and this nightmare seems to go on and on, reaching even higher levels of absurdity.

Triangle and rectangular flapjacks?!? Either flapjack doesn’t mean pancake in the UK, or they are crazier than I thought.

LOL — the sheer stupidity of this decision actually has dumbfounded me. Its a Black Hole of bureacratic stupidity that just causes me to be speechless. This may be the most amazingly stupid, over-protective decision made by a school administrator anywhere.
Search this article in the British press and you’ll find some pretty amusing comments. The Independent’s are the best in my opinion.
