Jamie Oliver celebrates New England school food standards
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Jamie Oliver welcomed a recent government announcement regarding school food standards in England after campaigning for changes for over 20 years.
He began his campaign when he discovered England regulated pet food more strictly than food served to children in schools. Oliver believes schools significantly influence children’s diets, as students spend 190 days a year eating breakfast and lunch there.
Currently, children in England’s state schools consume less than half the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, but twice the recommended amount of sugar. The new standards aim to address this imbalance and improve children’s diets on a large scale. Oliver hopes the announcement marks a turning point and ensures all children receive nutritious meals at school.
