And most do bring their own lunch. But the reality is hungry kids do not learn, and learning is what state schools are tasked to provide. So school lunch programmes are as important as clean loos, solid roofs, decent heating, and safe classrooms.
The pity is that even those basics are not applied evenly across the motu. Despite that being a government responsibility. Taxpayer funded, you know, like the support given to Bellamys and the rest?

THAT is an awful lot of perks for those Delightful People in Parliament, & the reminder of Bellamy's made me wonder if, with all their skills they might not manage to provide a healthy, nutritious & reasonably priced (say approximately the same amount they spend on feeding MP's) for schoolkids. The MPs can then have the lunches thought to be perfectly OK for school kids.
Two weeks should do it...
