I don't disagree with anything you say. This way of doing it is not working and it results in even more problems for the families and children who rely on it. Do we need to look at the American/uk model where meals are supplied on site? Possibly impractical if schools don't have room to put in facilities but anything has to be better. Regardless of the political party in power the meals have been woeful, a new way of doing things is needed with less government involvement not more. Also why do these meals all have to be cooked hot options....

We had that, it's what Labour implemented. Schools that were doing it that way have now been told to either reduce their costs to just over $3 a meal, or use the centralised provider instead.
