I didn't think it had anything to do with what white (or any other colour) trash parents were feeding their kids at home. Did it really get to the stage where kids lunch boxes were getting scrutinised? That sounds a tad fascist.<br /><br />Anecdotally his initiative did show some promising results in the area of classroom behaviour, and this, coupled with the potential health benefits, would seem to be a good reason to continue trialling the programme. However from memory Oliver had real problems trying to keep to the existing budget. And junk food is popular because it is cheap and tasty.<br /><br />Ultimately budgets and "re-electability" are the driving forces for governments, so my guess is that unless there is significant public outcry in England about school lunches the kids will be back on their coke and chips before you can say "turkey twizzler."Latsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-82001577022330159882010-07-06T16:04:18.780+12:002010-07-06T16:04:18.780+12:00Jamie Oliver is correct.

White Trash DO feed their kids copious amounts of fried food and other rubbish. <br /><br />The situation should not be an opportunity to initiate force, but he most certainly is correct, if not 'politically correct' in the Labour way. <br /><br />Oh and libertarian types are just as sanctimonious as Jamie.
