https://spectator.com/article/the-futility-of-banning-deep-fried-school-lunches/ The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of things to ban, so you find yourself trying to stop children eating ice cream. New school food rules announced today by the Department for Education will prescribe pulses, restrict deep-fried products and prevent children eating the food they actually like. Primary pupils are to encounter lentils, chickpeas or similar pulses at least once a week. Suggested desserts include custard with banana and orange slices. Each school will be expected to publish its menus and food policies online, nominate a food governor, with a small army of DfE tick-boxers then monitoring compliance.

  • @flick@spinster.club Is it just me or does anyone else find Prue Leith an absolute pain in the arse colossal annoyance?! I grind my teeth when I see her. The waste will be huge, and then they will go home and eat crap there anyway. I mean I don't like the idea of terrible food being fed to a captive audience of any sort, but this isn't really about nutrition, is it, it never is, and sweeteners are nasty shite. They will roll out things that won't be wanted, they always do, not oh, that looks nice.
