A British father is making headlines after he stood up for his daughter's right to choose what she eats at school. Ross Hunt, from Wales, took to TikTok to share his frustration with his daughter's teachers, who constantly commented about her "non-healthy" food choices and how she chose to eat them. Hunt impersonated his daughter's teachers in his now-viral video, imitating their criticism and comments about what and how she should eat her meal.

"Oh, don't eat that! Eat your sandwich! Oh, you shouldn't eat that!" he said mockingly.

Hunt explained that the comments from the teachers had gotten so bad that his daughter, Isabelle, didn't even want to bring lunch to school anymore. He pointed out the hypocrisy of the staff, noting that it was okay for the school to provide chocolate cake but not for parents to include it in their children's lunchboxes.

To rectify the problem, Hunt devised a creative plan to appease Isabelle's teachers and let her finish eating peacefully. He made a label that read, "Welcome to Isabelle's Lunch Box! We are aware of the contents of this box and are happy for her to eat whatever she wants." The label also had an adorable photo of Isabelle pointing to the message.

Hunt then joked about the second label he printed, which his wife, Rachel, vetoed from being added to their kid's lunchbox. The label was a bit curter and reflected every parent's inner monologue when they think their child is wronged.

"STEP AWAY FROM THE LUNCHBOX YOU NOSEY F—KING ARSE BANDIT," Hunt said, showing the label.

"I think we're getting in trouble for that one," he joked.

Hunt's video resonated with many parents who have also faced criticism from their children's schools about their food choices. One TikTok user who works in a school shared that they would "rather a child ate and was full than lots of 'healthy' foods they won't eat."

Another mom said that her daughter, who had become extremely sensitive about how other people viewed her food choices, was afraid to bring any sweets into the school cafeteria.

"The work I had to do to convince my daughter she could eat a KitKat with her lunch of salad and ham wrap, cucumber sticks, and a satsuma was unreal," the user wrote.

During a time when young women's mental health has never been worse, the last thing they need is for their teachers and other authorities to comment on what they are eating. This often contributes to possible eating disorders and complicated relationships with food.

In a follow-up video, Hunt showed precisely what was packed in Isabelle's lunchbox, along with the foods she ate and what didn't get touched. He mentioned that there was nothing said about the label in her lunchbox and emphasized that parents should be the ones making decisions about their children's food choices.

"In short, stick your f—king nose out of my kid's business. Hopefully, this will get dealt with, but I f—king doubt it," he said.

Fortunately, the issue was resolved, although Hunt isn't sure if his label had anything to do with it. "Our daughter said that the dinner ladies got changed, and we never heard any issues since," Hunt told parenting website Scary Mommy.

"We didn't have any communication with the school on the issue. Part of the reason I did the video was because our daughter was having issues with a certain dinner lady, and so too were other parents having issues."
