‘Golden ticket to a healthier Britain’- Sharon Hodgson, guardian.co.uk, 03/10/08
In response to the Government’s recent plans to provide free school meals to the first 3 years of primary schools, the article explains that this is a good opportunity to promote healthy eating, and would make progress on tackling obesity and childhood poverty.
This article also refers to Jamie Oliver’s campaign, where we found that social class dictated diet for Rotherham’s people (as discussed in previous post).
With the government tackling the problems head-on, it looks like we would achieve our goals much faster.
The author of the article encourages the proposal and has been working together with Roberta Blackman-Woods MP towards it, thus giving a positive view to the reader. However, some readers who have commented to the article do not agree; they say food is not the reason but exercise is for obesity, they do not want to see tax-payer’s money put towards children’s school dinners etc.
It relates to other Jamie Oliver articles on the guardian website, and attracts readers interested in the topic.
