Junkfood Science again focuses a spotlight on nannyism amok
Picking up where Scotland left off , KIng David School in Childwall, Liverpool, UK is considering banning home-packed school lunches.
Junkfood Science blew the whistle on that one, opining: "Imagine being able to make a law eliminating competing products and convince people it's for the children."
Apparently the British mania for food faddism continues. The LIverpool Echo quotes the chairwoman of governors at the school explaining the need to prevent students from consuming low-quality lunches packed by their mothers, explaining "We are amazed at what we find in children's lunch boxes. Some even come in with doughnuts." Can you IMAGINE? Doughnuts in a school lunch? The chair of a local charity, the Child Growth Foundation, joined the chorus: "If parents send in rubbish in lunch boxes, then the school has got to ban them." The "charity" is funded by the UK government.
