Exciting news. Stuff like this is well overdue, a horrible diet filled with deep-fried foods and sweets should be considered borderline child neglect.
Teach people to eat healthily from an early age, that gives them good habits for life, and they’ll enjoy a better quality of life too. That’s why these bans are good.
PS: And it saves money for the NHS in the long run. Bonus

>Deep-fried food will be banned… in schools in England
England! Thank fuck. Phew.
Nearly thought our poor wee kids here in Scotland would starve. All our food is deep-fried.

I think there are other things which should be targeted first such as school dinners providing dessert everyday.

I thought deep fried foods stopped being served in schools around 2006, or was the whole Jamie Oliver anti-fried and processed foods thing optional for schools to implement and my school just decided to go with it back when I was 12?

I misread this as “deep-fried banana in new plans for school dinners”. 🤣

I recall a kid that got donuts as soon as he got out of school from the parents for dinner. It will make 0 diff..

As always the issue, as someone who used to teach primary and eat the filth foods serve now. Is that they replaced tasty, cheap food like burgers with vile putrid, but technically healthy chicken cubes and boiled veg.
Now kids learn healthy food tastes grim.
If you took the approach Japan or France do and invest in school dinners. Ideally remove Sodexo from existence too. You could install a life long love of healthy delicious food.

Yeah what are they replacing it with though.
When I was at school, they replaced chicken nuggets and chips and stuff because they wanted to be healthier.
You know what they replaced them with? Hot dogs and cheese baguettes.
Perfect picture of health.

I’m from a southern European country. Unhealthy school foods were banned 20 years ago and healthy school lunches were introduced many decades ago too.
I grew up eating a 3 course meal. Soup first, with bread, a main course (veggies, a piece of meat or fish and other stuff like pasta, rice, potatoes, salad, etc) and fruit for dessert. 4x per year (before each half term or whatever) we’d have a sugary dessert 😅
It’s shocking how badly kids eat in UK schools.

Good. Google french school lunch vs our primary school dinners in state schools.
One is just junk food rubbish. The other is a balanced diet.

Labour finally seem to be doing some good things.
Still not voting for them because of what they represent here, but still
