Doesn't look healthy though does it? The cucumbers on their own is a bit of a piss take ''here's a terribly unwholesome meal but don't worry we've added cucumber so it's alright''

That's not a lunch! :o

It's not enough. :bawling:

I eat anything (usually), but I wouldn't eat that rubbish ..... :yuk:

It's not proper food. These kids need something healthy. Like pasta. :blush:

One of those meals IS pasta :

I wouldn't feed it to a dog ..... :hmph:

Yes, but that's not how you make it! That looks horrible! :o:nono:

She is a person arista, she has as much right to use the internet as you or I. Well done to her! I posted something similar a month or so ago, relating to the cost and the quality of food privided to primary schools...Its disgusting the meal cost £2 and I only see at the most 30p worth of food on the plate...
Times that profit by the number of primary schools in the UK and it is a money making scam by the contracted suppliers.
Hopefully now thanks to the efforts of this little girl people will become aware of how schools are failing in their duty of care to children by allowing this to continue.
I would sugget everyone boycott them, no meals bought= no profits.

A packed lunch is better than this rubbish! :mad:

No Kizzy her Parents are Militant

Bloody Right
Dogs Eat Horse Meat in tins.


If you went back to just after the War
kids got Far Less than
that great meal.

No, they are are not, they have every right to highlight this, militant? exposing poor nutrition...Whats next plans to topple the government?...

They got a nutritionally balanced filling meal...for free.
Not charged £8-10pw for rubbish.
Im sorry arista but your view on this issue is in my opinion slightly warped.

Making that 9 year old
posting Proper Meals Online - Trouble Making Militants Parents

Those Food Meals are Enough for a 9 year old.
Years ago they had much less.

No Kizzy
Times Are Hard

We do not want Trouble Making Online kids

Kids need to eat healthy food. That's not good enough. :nono:

It doesn't look like it here :

:joker:

If that girl and her parents have such an issue with school dinners..........why not make her a packed lunch, they are her parents after all, it's their job.

Wow, I'm just going to stop trying as you can't even make a reasoned argument arista...
Its not good enough vanessa no, and to bleed a tenner off working parents for this crap should be criminal.
Someone ring jamie!

It seems to me that school dinners were better before. Now kids hardly get anything. :sad:

She would do well to remember some kids DIE for this kind of food,it would be a feast to them,she needs to stop moaning,stop being greedy ,it may not look much,but no one will starve,what does she (her parents)expect,if they are that bothered send her with a packed lunch,sorry does that sound mean,lol.and as Arista said,if you look up the food that was available years ago it was not so good,but they survived.

Are you sure? It seems to me that school dinners were better before. :suspect:

Yes that is one soloution but its not really the issue niamh, It's hoodwinking parents who pay for meals by giving the child insufficient inferior food.

.

No burgers, crisps or coke ..... :nono:

They could offer chicken or fish with vegetables. That would be healthier. :blush:

I meant in the times of rationing etc,as Arista pointed out,I actually remember really liking my school dinners back in the 90s:hugesmile:

I think they could offer better meals. It doesn't have to be expensive.

Found this pic of a school in islington in 2010...Notice the difference in the meal?

Bliddy Thatcher ..... :mad:

This one doesn't look so good :

Facts are facts ..... :pipe:

Bang On Right

Yes Omah is good at that

He is only quoting facts kezanne, you can't argue with facts...
Schools now have to account for meals as part of their budget due to the changes made then. So the less money they spend on food the more they generate a profit from the money charged for them.

Can I just remind you we do not live in a third world country or the 1950's....Thankyou, please stick to the issue.

I don't agree, they don't like the food that's been offered, give her a packed lunch.........Simples. It takes 5 minutes to make a nice healthy sandwich and pack some fruit in a lunch box. I think parents are just being lazy tbh.
