Academy food put under spotlight

The food quality is slipping in the schools. The names of the schools which do not meet the national school meal nutrition standards will be published on School Food Trust website. Six years ago Chef Jamie Oliver and Linda Mitchell, chair of the Local Authority Catering Association brought in some rules for healthy food after a campaign. Linda Mitchell said that she would prefer one single standard applicable to all schools. The schools may not be allowed to hide behind their academy status and avoid meeting the standards.

My comment: It is very important what the students eat every day at schools. They spend many hours a day at school where they have to eat lunch and something for the breaks. Most of the students buy snacks and unhealthy fast food at school. In my opinion by banning any kind of fat snacks and fizzy drinks at schools the dangerous consequences such as overweight will be prevented and there is no need for other complicated regulations.
