Jamie Oliver making a dent in government

From the Scotsman:
"More than 130 MPs – including 86 Labour backbenchers – have already signed a Commons motion backing Mr Oliver’s Feed Me Better campaign.
They say they are “appalled” that the average cost of a school meal in the state system is just 35p to 45p – a quarter of what is spent in British prisons.
And they call on the Government to outlaw the use of processed food in school lunchtime menus."

'Talking about Oliver’s show, Jamie’s School Dinners, Mr Blair said: “It’s very good and shows what can be done. We are setting up an organisation that is going to help advise schools on how to improve their meals." '

From the Norfolk Eastern Daily Press:
"More schools are threatening to go it alone in supplying lunches, as pressure mounts for healthier food.A conference is being planned for schools interested in setting up their own arrangements, following alarm over the quality of meals exposed by a national television programme."

From the Coventry Observer:
Hot on the heels of Channel Four's Jamie's School Dinners, education and health chiefs were set to attend a Food In Schools conference to discuss how schools can encourage youngsters to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
