As you may or may not know, Jamie Oliver is running a campaign to improve school dinners and Jamie being Jamie is taking a very hands-on stance by taking over 50/60 school canteens in the Greenwich borough of London. He has taken all junk food off the menu and the kids are now eating proper balanced meals complete with vegetables. Most of the children he asked in his TV series never ate vegetables at home and most couldn't identify even the most common types. They thought rhubarb was a leek and that a leek was a kiwi fruit!
<br>When Labour came to power one of their election pledges was to improve the nutritional values of school dinner. Two years ago when nothing had changed John Prescott made the promise again. Still nothing has changed and school children are still being given re-heated, fat laden, E-number stuffed crap on a daily basis.
<br>Do you know that the average amount allocated per child for their mid-day school meal is just 35p to 45p yet prisoners in British jails are allocated a least twice that amount. Jamie thinks that 70p per child is all it would take to provide a tasty balanced meal. As part of the campaign he is running a petition to hand into Government.
<br>Please, please, please go to Jamie's site below and sign his petition and let?s get our children's diet and health back on track.
