'school food trust'

thanks

given that alot of chocolate bars contain nuts or 'may contain traces of nuts' etc having nuts will not make a huge difference for nut allergy sufferers.

Also not that many people are affecetd by water / juice / milk where as the crap they put in 'juice drinks' / fruit shoots / diet fizzy drinks etc cant be good.

Given that vending machines are already there surely changing the content to healthier foods MUST be a good thing?
