    This happened in the UK.

    After J. Oliver’s school-dinner reforms, some mums were passing chips and other bits through the school fence to their kids.

    “Don’t take me crisps!!”

      Oh yeah. I started to listen to british podcasts a bit more in the last few years. Every so often people will refer to that episode of time. It really seemed to damage J.Oliver who, i can only believe, must have had the best intentions.

      I’d be mildly surprised if it garners that big a reaction over here though, we surely find the healthier options more acceptable than our counterparts. The contact i’ve had with family and their diets in the UK has been… eye opening.

      If not, then i reckon i can rig up a toastie maker disguised inside a teachers suitcase, then sell toasties out the back of the science lab. No-one ever suspects the science department!
