I mentioned the Lib-Dem/SNP approved '10p rise in school meals' a few days ago ... well, it finally seems to have attracted a bit of press attention.
That 10p increase represents:
- over a full 6% rise for Primary School meals
- a near 5% rise for Secondary School meals
And it really does seem to me that such inflation-busting increases are completely at odds with efforts to promote and encourage healthy eating.
Sadly, given the opaqueness of last weeks three-year budget, I expect a lot more of this to come :-((
