JAMIE'S SCHOOL DINNERS

OK, when I was at school there was none of this 'Turkey Twizzlers' lark. In fact, we had a pretty healthy menu - fresh ingredients, freshly made. Even at secondary school there was a healthy option (although not many 16-year-olds chose the heathy option). Where has this junk food generation appeared from? With education cuts it's not surprising schools are forced to resort to low-cost unhealthy foods, but surely this is what the government should be concentrating on, rather than concentrating on creating a class-based education system? Alan Johnson's nutrition guidelines are fair enough on paper, but will it work in practice? Only if schools get more funding - again, the education reforms mean that schools funded by rich parents will benefit, and children will get a more balanced menu, compared to the schools funded by the government.
