If you watched Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution show to this point, it was quite depressing how little was done about it on the American show. We unfortunately live in a world where we value money over people's health.
This is of course a mute point for this child as Scotland (for now, lets see how the independence referendum goes) is NHS (national health service) based.
And I agree, Jamie's Food Revolution has highlighted this issue very well. The poor attitude toward health seems universal however as one of the most poignant scenes in any of his shows is the one of UK parents passing deep fried fish and chips through the school fence at lunch time!
Scotland leans left, there's no way the NHS is going even if independence is granted.
This is sort of a nonsensical statement, as money is simply an external means by which to make such relative comparisons of value between things which are good. Perhaps you meant to assert the accumulation of savings is valued over health related expenditures? Debt levels would suggest otherwise.
Not savings, but purchasing power. Better?
Why is there no outrage that their children are being served slop?
Whatever the lunch menu says he is eating and the actual quality of the food served could differ in the extreme.
Practically the only way you could know this is if the school posted pictures of the actual lunches being served. (Like this kid did)
I commend your school for sending menus however, better than others I have heard of.
