Last year there was plenty in the news about Jamie Oliver and his 'Feed me better' campaign.
This year, there's almost nothing about school food in the news. From what I remember, he got plenty of politicians to make distinctly qualified promises to improve school food and, sadly, was pretty much fobbed out and 'politicked' into beliveing that he'd acheived something.
Today, after reading an article online about the same problem in America, it made me wonder what food is on offer in schools throughout the UK:

This would be a great place for anyone who finds it to let us know what food is on offer in your kids school and whether you think it's good enough. So, if you've just found your way here from the front page, Google or an email from a friend, please sign up - it's free and we don't give out your details to *anyone* else.

It has begun to improve. I know that a number of schools have got rid of national caterers and taken the responsibility back in house. ~There are a number of training centres throughout the country often run by organic farms, for staff to learn about cooking healthily and economically. As the series said, many school dinner staff did not know how to cook, only how to reheat etc. Not that unlike many families!
