In the Days When We Used to Feed Our Children Proper Food in School Canteens

Pictures of children eating proper food in school canteens. It wasn’t gourmet food, but it was tasty and nourishing. And palatable nourishment is what our children need. What children eat in schools these days is largely junk food and sodas. Such food is most unsuitable for growing children; and it is certainly not nourishing.

It was a sad day when they decided to do away with school canteens in which children’s food was prepared and made on the premises. So many children from poor homes in the country today are going hungry. Tragically. How much better it would be if they could enjoy at least one square meal in the school canteen!

Who, I wonder, was the Minister for Education who did away with school canteens? We know who snatched the free milk from the children! – © Mark Alexander
