The Daily Mail today states that the ‘Jamie Oliver health crusade leads to fewer pupils eating school meals’ and goes on to state:

Jamie Oliver’s campaign against the Turkey Twizzler has cost the taxpayer £500million and resulted in fewer pupils eating school lunches, it emerged yesterday.

More than half of primary pupils and around two-thirds of secondary school youngsters are still rejecting the TV chef’s healthier menus.

The meals – which must contain 14 nutrients, a vegetable and a piece of fruit – were introduced in 2006 after Oliver highlighted the poor state of many school lunches.

What a silly person. Doesn’t Mr Oliver realise that children know that a Whopper-burger, a packet of crisps, a chocolate bar and a Coke from McDonalds is tastier and more nourishing than a salad or a roast-beef dinner with cabbage, carrots, onions etc.?

It is a well established fact that children know everything, so who are we to try and change their ways?

Every day between 12noon and 2 you see hordes of uniformed kids in the local supermarket all buying junk food which they eat on the way back to school. There’s so many that they block up the checkouts causing tailbacks for about 20 minutes!
