New school dinner regulations in England, effective from April 13, have been met with significant criticism from educators and students alike. The Labour Party government's decision to eliminate 'grab and go' options, including popular items such as pizza and chocolate brownies, has been labeled as 'too far' by headmaster Sean Maher. He argues that while promoting healthy eating is essential, the complete removal of treats may be excessive. A 12-year-old student expressed disappointment over the lack of pizza but acknowledged the intention behind the changes. Luke Consiglio, chief executive of The Pantry, an education catering company, warned that these rigid standards might push away families and children from healthier options. Former school food campaigner Andy Jolley emphasized the need for increased funding to improve meal quality and portion sizes, stating that without additional resources, the initiative is likely to fail. The Department for Education maintains that these changes aim to create the healthiest generation of children and will support schools in compliance efforts.
