I've recently started as a midday assistant at our local primary school.
I would say most days around 70-80% of the pupils have a school meal, obviously most of these are the free school meals offered by the government.
These meals look and smell delicious and are cooked by scratch by the cook and her assistant.
However, I have been taken aback by the amount of waste. Most of the children eat a tiny fraction of the food and then most of it gets thrown in the bin.
This must be happening all over the country and although I don't know what the answer to this would be, AIBU to think this is a shocking waste if food and of tax payers money?
