Comment posted School Dinners stooshie: young Martha Payne has the right pedigree by Iain McCallum.
But in fairness, she does compliment some of the meals, it was just the (particularly) miserly ones that the national press highlighted. That said, it is a good blog and well done to a switched on 9 year-old.

- New coaching acquisition for West Coast Motors
Well done WCM. Campbeltown firm takes over the world, or at least the West of Scotland. Loving it. - 2013 Remembrance at the Cenotaph: the Arctic Star on parade
the Arctic Star on parade……and not before bloody time. (I am being touchy, but I wonder why someone took the time to red thumb me when my criticism is as always directed at the various governments who refused to present these brave men with the small token of their sacrifice and bravery, the Arctic Star) - McGrigor calls on consumers to choose mackerel source carefully
Did I not here this week that mackerel was off the danger list and there was more than there had been for decades after a few successful years of massive spawning. Strange how scared politicians are of “independent” countries who make their own decisions for the benefit of their own people. - Patrick Winterton and Olly Hicks: half way to completing paddle of wartime ‘Shetland Bus’ route to Norway
This is another example of British eccentricity at its best. Mad but mad for a good cause. Well done chaps - New Campbeltown-Ardrossan service off for today
Reference the bus. I hear that there were cyclists stuck after the ferry didn’t come and the bus wouldn’t let them take their bikes on. So they had to wait a second night to get them dismantled and packed up in boxes or whatever. I bet they won’t be coming back!! Hope they don’t tell their friends.

no suprise in the experiance of this 9 year old and school meals. We hear so much about healthy balanced diet yet the very people entrusted to provided guidance and education in this field are failling our youngsters.
If this was a private functioning resturant it would no longer be trading.

your probaly right … all the kids would be down the street at the cafe or the chip shop with big polystyrene box of chipps and cheese if they were not made to eat there till secondery school and the dinner ladys would be alone with the salads and baked potatos that are always avalible

What do they expect to get for a 2 pound dinner, if just a piece of fruit will cost how much? And a yogourt?
In the house holdings they don’t do much better either. It a cultural thing. I have never seen people spending money buying and cooking good food.

You are absolutely right. Why don’t we just feed them Pot Noodles and a wee bottle of Irn bru?

Reminds me of a Scouse friend in my student days who used to talk fondly of chip butties.

if you look into what has happend you will find there has been no change at all to the school dinners …the school has a menu system with always a healthy choice and also more “main stream” meals for the kids who will not eat if there is no “junk ” on the plate there is always salad and baked potatos or a choice of main meal off the four week menu perhaps if veg asked the dinner ladys if she could photograph all the choces she has on offer it would give a better reflection of the healthy options that are being passed up
