On second thought, neither would I. :joker:

Not that im a stranger to controversy you understand....:wink:

Yeah, the school meal shown is burger, beans and chips ..... and would do me for lunch ..... :laugh2:

I've occasionally tried to take a packed lunch, but always seem to finish it before I even get to the school gate :(

The meal shown is a spoonful of beans.... about 2p worth, about 15 chips... about half a spud, and some offal n breadcrumbs...about 10p

If the lad eating it is 15 and 6ft2 like my lad....or even his lil cousin at 10 and 4ft4 ....Its not enough.
And the profit margin.......

Bless you....Have you tried eating breakfast?...:)

I always had a packed lunch when I was at infant and junior school. Only when I got to secondary did I have school lunches. They were pretty reasonable at my school, and had quite a good selection.

Portions sizes shouldn't be cut, but the food should be improved. They need a stable diet.

Give him a bigger breakfast, then ..... ;)

oi...I'll have less of that lol :)
my boy has to eat every 20 mins he has hollow leg syndrome as my mother calls it...lol
Gotta love adolescents :love:

are you a working girl?,lol

more like a third leg,

What?....

I agree with Marc, packed lunches are cheaper and alot of times healthier anyway

I'm not sure where the article has it's facts from..or what it's aiming at.
..There is certainly no change in any primary school meals around here..not in size..and there is a very low percentage of free school meals too..and I know that the authorities make very little if any at all profit
..with the upper schools..where there is a canteen..most of those are contracted out to catering companies..and I believe thay are expensive...I think it's better to take a packed lunch..and have a hot meal later
