The Feed me Better campaign

Reading  activities

Nowadays, junk food dominates school menus. Children are not getting the right nutrients to help them grow, concentrate at school and stay healthy in adult life. Scientists stress that if children do not have a balanced diet they have behavioural and health problems.

In February 2005, Jamie Oliver, concerned with the poor nutritional value of the food served up in schools, decided not to put up with it any longer. He launched the ‘Feed Me Better’ campaign, which would try to improve school food in Britain. He presented a 4-part series on TV called “School Dinners”.
