The new Health Secretary has informed the nation that there will be no more "Jaime Oliver style hectoring". This is in spite of near universal acclaim for improving children's eating habits and evidence it even exam results. But we must give children freedom of choice, we can't have the government tell people what to do!
However, my mother pointed out to me that other than ideological purity it might just be that some Tory campaign backers are wholesalers of unhealthy food and by reintroducing "pupil choice" their mates get back into the lucrative school dinners market. Certainly seems plausible.
