Another topic maybe but....
Can you imagine the influx of even more immigrants if we were to give every child in the country free meals?

Who can possibly say that by the state providing free school meals that these meals will be the healthy and balanced.

Having spent some time in schools over the years some of the food I have seen did not appear to be at all healthy, free or otherwise.

Pizza & chips, chicken nuggets & chips the odd vegetable baked beans.........

Agreed, but again it isn't all about giving kids the best, it's about seeing that the greatest number of kids get something daily. I think schools are a lot better now than just a few years ago. When we moved to Scotland the girls were given a school dinners timetable/menu and we were almost drooling reading it :D

I doubt anyone can say they will be I would just say that I am in favour of them being healthy and nutritional   :)

Didn't the campaign run by Jamie Oliver have an impact on the quality of school meals where they are served? I thought it had!
