School lunches in the UK are getting healthier. According to Ode magazine (June 2005; www.odemagazine.com), Prime Minister Tony Blair recently announced that junk food in school cafeterias would be replaced by meals containing as many organic ingredients as possible, preferably locally grown. School kitchens will be rebuilt to accommodate the preparation of fresh meals. Observed Blair, “It may take a little time to change children’s tastes, but it will be worth the effort if we can get them enjoying healthy and good quality food at school.”
