Plans to change school lunches to cut obesity

The video discusses the current state of school lunches, highlighting that many students bring unhealthy packed lunches from home. The government aims to increase the uptake of school meals by spending over £16 million on initiatives like banning packed lunches and introducing compulsory cooking lessons. While some criticize the plan as intrusive, a school in Middlesex shows success with subsidized meals. The benefits of school dinners include better concentration and energy levels. The initiative also aims to tackle obesity, with hopes of reducing the number of overweight children leaving primary school.
