大部分的父母都是全職工作，晚餐大多也都草草解決，想要幫孩子帶午餐還得想要帶什麼菜色，往往為了吃的問題，時間因此耗盡了。學校為了幫父母解決這類問題，甚至是幫貧困家庭學生提供相同的營養，營養午餐的概念便就此產生。
台灣小朋友的營養午餐還沒機會見識(畢竟我沒小孩)，但是倒是在電視上看到英國學童的午餐著實把我嚇到。Discovery Travel & Living的Jamie Oliver(專門教人做菜的廚師)主持了一個Jamie's School Meal節目，他決定到學校去改善學生的飲食。不論從小學還是到高中，營養午餐幾乎都是薯條、螺旋火雞捲(火雞肉成份不到30%，幾乎都是油和塩)、漢堡等，總而言之，舉凡炸的、加工食品或是多塩多油食品，都可以在"營養"午餐的菜單中見到。再加上學校一般在營養午餐的預算有限(公立學校)，當外包給廠商時，廠商購買的餐點也不外乎是一堆加工食物。
Jamie在一所國中先試著實施營養好吃便宜的健康餐點，但學生幾乎不領情，甚至抱怨和抗議，不是說不吃魚，不吃雞，或是咖哩蔬菜等，總而言之是我們覺得很正常的食物，對他們而言都是屬於難吃。Jamie決定到小學去嘗試，試著從小改善小朋友的飲食習慣。他先拿蔬果問小朋友對蔬果的認知，沒想到居然有小朋友說籚筍是洋蔥，再問他們前一天晚上都吃些什麼，不外乎是薯條、炸雞塊甚至於還有泡麵。學校提供的營養午餐也是一堆加工食品，炸了就可以吃。有些小朋友有自己帶午餐，但是居然是餅乾巧克等垃垃食物。這類的食物造成小朋友便秘問題，甚至於還有小朋友近六週沒有排便，但幾乎已被大家習以為常，醫院還為小朋友專門成立便秘專科。有個家庭試著實驗五天都吃健康正常的食物取代垃圾食物，小孩變得較安靜穩和不爆燥，第六天給小朋友一些他們以前常吃的零食，30分鐘後他們又開始大吼大叫。
Jamie經過六個月的努力終於使其中一個小班的小朋友喜歡上吃健康正常的食物，當然家長也需全力配合。但仍需繼續努力推廣到全校，不過好消息是，這個小鎮的鎮議會通過增加學童營養午餐的採購預算，使學校有經費能夠採買更多新鮮的食材。
我想大家聽到這些東西，應該和我看到這個節目一樣的震驚。這就是英國未來的國家主人翁，儘吃些垃圾食物，不過值得高興的是，英國政府注意到了也逐漸改善(BBC News)，也希望我們的政府也能多加注意孩童的飲食，讓小小主人翁們都能夠健康快樂的成長。

Jamie's School Meal，台灣翻做"校園主廚奧利佛"，周四晚上11點Discovery
Most parents work full time job, dinner mostly eat quickly and simple, and sometimes they spend a lot time thinking of what to bring for kid's lunch meal. Most schools want to help parents resolve this kind of problem or even for giving poor family children the same nutrition, school food produce.
I never saw Taiwan children's school lunch before, after all I don't have kids, but I was shocked by school lunch in UK. Jamie Oliver in Discovery Travel & Living channel hold a program called Jamie's School Meal, he went to school for improving students diet. No matter from primary school to senior high, school lunch almost chips, fries, spiral turkey pie (not so sure the name), burgers, etc. Anyway, every fried, food additives, over-salt, over-oil food all can be seen in school lunch menu. Due to budget issue school will outsource school meal to professional cooking company, they only can provide food additives for saving budget and fast serving.
Jamie first tried to implement nutritious and cheap healthy food in junior high, students mostly were unwilling to try, even complain and protest. Their reason is they don't like fish, chicken or curry vegetables, any food we think normal they all think hard to swallow. Jamie decided try from primary school, he wants to improve children's eating habit. He asked children do they recognize of vegetabls and fruits, they can only identify the fast food company, some even point Asparagus as onion (want to faint, right?). Then he asked what they ate last night, answers all very similar, nothing besides fries, chicken nugget, and even instant noodles. What school provide for lunch are all bunch of addictives food, you can eat after fried it. Some students bring their own lunch contained cookies, chocolate, these kind of junk food. Students suffer from the Constipation due to the diet habits, there is a kid had been constipated for 6 weeks, but almost everyone think this kind of situation is normal, hospital even built up the Constipation department. There was an experiment whole family eat healthy food for 5 days instead of junk food, their children become more calm and not yelling, on the 6th day they give children some snack foods, after 30 mins they start to yell.
Jamie finally let one class like to eat healthy and natural food after 6 months, of course parents need to corporate, but they still need to influence whole school. Good news is the county parliaments decide to increase school lunch budget to let school be capable purchasing more health food for kids.
I think most people me was shocked by 1st hearing as me. This is the future of England eat all these junk food, but something to feel happy is British government notice it and try to improve it(BBC News), I wish our government can also take more concern on the children's diet, let them grow happily and healthier.
