With constant reports of children being either overweight or underfed why can’t school meals return to traditional British food?
Why Greek or Spanish?
When I was at school back in the day my school meal was my main meal of the day and I strongly suspect that is still the case for many many children today.
Bring back the wholesome meals of mince beef with potato mash and peas/cottage pie/shepherd’s pie with either the traditional spotted dick pudding, good old rice pudding or apple pie/crumble and custard.
Then return to the sports day afternoons to help the children get fit and be happy again.
It’s not rocket science and they will all become fit and healthy again so everyone saves money in the end and the children will not have to go home to binge on fast food to fill up their tummies again.
