pagemaster_b Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 ^ LOL, that would be great, but I have never seen or heard that, Brian! --Sören Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. By the way, my German teacher in high school taught English in Germany for a few years. He said whenever one of the teachers was celebrating a birthday or birth of a child or grandchild, they would bring in bottles of wine and celebrate in the teacher's lounge! There were a few times he went to class with a buzz in his ears.
Hattuchili Posted December 16, 2005 Author Posted December 16, 2005 ^ That sounds like our German teachers and German traditions! --Sören
saturday97 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Pagemaster B, we are in agreement. What I meant was that the schools can argue that they are serving healthy meals becuase they meet minimum standards, but in essence it is not truly a nutritional meal.
Hattuchili Posted December 20, 2005 Author Posted December 20, 2005 Hey guys, today I have seen the last episode of Jamie´s School Dinner! It looks like Jamie really found a good way for the British school food of tomorrow! He changed the food at so many schools, into some really healthy good food. At the end they told us, Tony Blair want to do everything he can, that there will be no longer any Junk-Food in the schools! Is that the trues? Changed there anything at your school in the last month / year? --Sören
pvcoasterguy Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 The US schools aren't any better at all... Our school gets the crap shipped in from the USDA. The food is not healthy by any means, and usually isn't very good.
blackcurrent Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 The food is generally that bad. Poorly trained staff near enough unable to cook in some instances. Very poorly funded most schools have a budget of 45pence (70cents) per person for the ingredients. I mean not in Jamie could cook something for that amount (as shown in the program) a real eye opener and I think one of the main things that shocked me was the way the childrens behavour improved once the diets had improved from all the nasty ingredients from the processed food. Better behavour and better grades... surely that alone is worth the investment..... That being said you can only help those wanting to be helped... it made me laugh when the parents were passing Mcdonalds through the school fence to the kids so as they put it "so my kid can have some proper food init"........ enough said really
