英国小学生在午餐上没有多少选择的余地。

要么是父母准备的饭盒,要么是他们在一个温热的正餐菜单上选择一两个菜式。然而,中学学校允许学生自己选择菜单。

过去,这导致了许多问题。2004年,一份名为《英国中学生的餐食》的调查显示,许多学校提供不健康的菜单。举例来说,一周四到五天里,76%的中学提供薯条和其他马铃薯油炸料理,而86%的中学提供高脂肪食物,比如汉堡包和炸鸡块。当学校提供这样的菜式时,大多数学生都会选择食用。48%的学生选择高脂肪的主菜,48%的学生选择薯条或类似的菜式,24%的学生选择蛋糕或松饼。水果、果汁、蔬菜和沙拉是最不受欢迎的菜式。

在2005年的电视节目《杰米的校餐配方》中,名厨杰米·奥利弗开始与校园厨师一起合作,为学生提供更健康的餐食。尽管最初受到了来自学生和家长的阻力,但形势已经开始逆转。杰米发起的运动就是使校餐的营养标准普遍提高的运动之一。

最近的在线系统,如“父母支付”,在孩子们的学校饮食方面给予了更多的支配权。他们可以设置日常的开支限制,也可以准确地知道孩子们每天买了些什么东西。
