Well said Blazey!

UK is just becoming a nanny state, makes you wonder how far exactly will the Government go to ensure we eat and drink what they want us to, at our own expense.

If they were offer free school meals, WITHOUT touching any money received by the parent/parents, then that would probably do a lot better. Those families on low incomes would actively encourage their children to have them (why spend precious spare money on packed lunches when they could save some money with a school dinner), but still have that regular income of Child benefit which is much needed.

We are paying for a huge amount of management within local and national government that could be done without. Get rid of them, and the kids could have steak and caviar every day till theyre 16!
