What about school policies on school dinners. Reading that a school has introduced a healthy eating policy and has said that no child can have more than one "junk item" as part of their school dinner.
Seems to make sense BUT what about the wee boy whose single parent Dad gave him a packed lunch that included crisps and a Jaffa Cake??? TWO junk items say the school so the kid was taken out of the school dining room, in front of all his mates, and made to eat his "outlawed unhealthy" lunch on his own in the headmasters office.
Seems to me that parents should have the right to decide what their children will eat not the school. If they want to take the Jamie Oliver route to healthy school dinners they should be applauded but LAY OFF THE PACKED LUNCH. PARENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN THEY WAY THEY WANT.
