I was listening to the radio yesterday when the interviewed some twit who's promoted this scheme. When asked "Why should our taxes be spent on this he replied to the effect that: "Some of the money does come from Council Tax, but most of it comes from the Regional Development Fund".
Obviously, this Regional Development Fund* is some sort of magic tree upon which money grows unchecked.
Socialist leech scum.
* Or whatever it actually was I can't remember, some utterly worthless enterprise set up by the Government as a check on democracy and sluice for hard-working people's money.

They should be eating healthily for their own well being not to gain some bloody esso points.
Did you not see that nutritionist on Jamies School Dinners talking about impacted constipation amongst children?
Heres a though, eat heathily or you'll die before 50.
Obesity is set to be the biggest preventable killer, even ahead of smoking. This should be bloody incentive enough.
iPods indeed.

Theres another major point here. OK, so little Johnny has to stomach some rabbit food at school and OK, if he's a good boy then he gets his mitts on an X-Box, but:
Thats only one meal. I suppose the full English at brekkie time, then the pizza and chips all washed down with a large glass of lard at home isn't going to do his poor little arteries any good now, is it?
I can sort of understand the schools wanting to do right for the kids. However, kids are kids and it was mentioned on the radio yesterday that some kids had started to eat 2 meals as 1) a way of earning more points; and 2) to wash all that poxy salad down with a nice plate of chips and a pie.
Marvellous. Incentivised cobblers.

The happy fool they interviewed on 5Live yesterday had convinced himself that the children enjoying this scheme were taking the good news home and persuading their parent/s to abandon convenience food too.
Do any of you lot have school-age kids? Do you know what they eat at school? Do you know what they pinch from tthe fridge/cupboard when you're polishing your car?
Kids eat what kids want to eat most of the time - you can sit there until you're blue in the face saying eat your veg - it won't work!
You've got to start them early and introduce them to mosre vried food as they grow up.
Steaming in and saying - eat healthily otherwise you'll be obese and die early - and expecting them to all sit up and take in what you say and then change their diet accordingly – you may as well be talking Chinese for all the notice they'll take.
