We often hear that children “won’t eat healthy food”. But the evidence shows that when school food improves, uptake increases.
In the midst of a child health crisis, we are calling on the government to urgently improve #schoolfood.

Heads up, #InstitutionalFood and #SchoolFood researchers! Can a breakfast be secular? Does lunch have a religion? If you serve halal or kosher food to someone without their knowing it’s halal or kosher, is it? Here’s to injecting some critical food studies knowledge into our houses of government…

It’s worth remembering that 75% of all #schoolfood is #UPF - and in schools, the menu is always chosen by adults who do not eat the food themselves.
In hospitals, the same UPF problem exists - so those are ill are fed food that will not help their healing = all crazy!!

Image of Barbara Crowther, Sustain Campaign Manager, next to a quote: "We spend around £5bn a year on public sector food – 60% of that is on our schools. How much of that is really benefiting our local economy and our British farmers? If there is a big investment in school breakfast clubs, let’s make sure that investment delivers for children’s health and let’s make sure we leverage the economic benefit for the entire community."
PM Starmer championed #SchoolFood role in tackling #ChildPoverty on ITV's Lorraine today. But are the government's breakfast club partnerships really delivering for children and communities?
