jamie oliver didnt come up with the price thats what the head teacher told him the government allows a school for each child
if a school wants to spend more money on food they have to take it from the money that is set aside for teachers and books etc
some schools may have the luxury of a bit of spare cash left over from books and teachers etc or parents may be asked to pay a bit extra to help out but in general i would say most schools dont have that luxury and have to stick within a budget that the government sticks on meals
jamie oliver has not yet been able to make a good healthy meal for 37p they have all gone over the budget and they were basic things like vegetables and rice
i think its disgracefull that we have mountains of food rotting in barns over the country because farmers are paid not to sell them as not to upset the economy
i forget the techicle name but ime on about stuff liek potato mountains and butter mountains etc
that food could be given to schools free and is good food not chicken burgers and stuff
i also think its digracefull that they have butter mountains and wont let us slide down them but thats off topic lol
