Jamie Oliver has shown in one hour long TV programme what we at Alexander Jon Richardson & Associates have been saying for ten years. Pupils at secondary schools
subject to a cash cafeteria selection each day will almost always choose a meal high in carbohydrates and very high in fat content. Ignoring all the other things that go into the typical convenience product the daily intake of low quality, low cost meals
will and probably already takes it's toll.
We have been offering advice on catering to schools such as yours for ten years this April and we are heartened to think that maybe the time is now right for parents, pupils and schools to say "enough is enough".
A return to the traditional two course meal is already being tried in several schools through out the UK . This food offer of a two course meal with choices of main course and dessert for a fixed price is very similar to the food offer made in Independent and Private Schools. If it's good enough for them, I am sure it is good enough for your pupils.
What can we do about it ?
We are willing to produce menus for your school that work within your acknowledged tight budgets and oversee the catering budget during the implementation of this radical change. We can offer
nutritional advice, advice on marketing the new service, training and specialist help with equipment, all to ensure that the new food service is well received.
What can you do about it ?
Phone Richard Wedgbury on 01354 740076 to arrange a meeting to explore how we can work together to ensure a better diet for our young people.
