Apparently Jamie Oliver’s school dinners are making children cleverer. Since the introduction of his nutritious meals, SATs results have dramatically improved. Perhaps there’s a scientific reason, or maybe kids are being spurned on by the ever more infrequent reward of chocolate for doing well.

Oliver’s scheme may be making kids healthier, but the media don’t seem to like his “I was right all along” stance.

In fact school dinners are certainly on the media menu today as they also report on fingerprint scanners being introduced in a school in Brent, North London to substitute cash in canteens.

Although mother’s can watch what their kids are eating this way, danger surely looms. As a child, I was constantly worried about the infamous demand of ‘Give me your dinner money.’ Well imagine if a surly bully forced you to give him your thumb.
