The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health reports that only 1% of primary schoolchildren's packed lunches meet the nutritional standards set for school meals in England.
Half of UK children eat a packed lunch and, despite the government’s drive to make children’s lunchboxes healthier, the Journal found that that crisps, sweets, and sugary drinks still dominate over fruit and veg.
What a surprise!
I’m off to a couple of meetings today and will be taking my own packed lunch of a sandwich, a bag of crisps and a chocolate biscuit. To hell with fruit and veg!
