I think jamie oliver did a lot to highlight the drop in standards of school meals. It was an eye opener for a lot of parents who thought like ammis school food was prepared onsite.
In the majority of schools it isn't and the catering companies used were reducing the quality substantialy to maximise profits.
So I for one am glad this was publicised.
I worry that when meals are free standards will slip again. The issue with packed lunches is one I remember well, I can see how a school would ban crisps and chocolate but where do you draw the line, all packaged/ processed foods?
The punishment of the child was excessive, why exclude the child? It would make them feel at fault, totally unfair and heavy handed.
