In the UK, most children have their midday meal at school, but in many schools, parents can choose what their children eat．The children can have a school lunch－a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches．
Often parents prepare lunches on the basis of what their children want．Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches, because they say they hate school dinners．I make 3 packed lunches every morning, so we're like a sandwich bar in our kitchen in the morning．”
However, another mother, Susan, made her choice based on the nutritious value of the food．She said, “My daughter always has school dinners．I think she probably gets healthier food by having a cooked lunch at school than she would if I made sandwiches．”
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, wasn't impressed with them．“Fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips．”
The question of how healthy school food is was brought to Jamie Oliver, who launched a campaign to improve children's nutrition, after spending a year working in a school kitchen．The TV series about the campaign won an award this week．
He was horrified(惊恐的)at the junk food he saw being served, which included burgers, pizza and chips．He decided to ban the junk, and started cooking good stews(炖菜)and curries for the children instead．
Jamie improved the school dinners in that particular school, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food．Then he put pressure on the government to improve the standards of school food across the country．And it looks as if the changes have begun．

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel．Green said,“Clearly I am the most important．I am the sign of life and hope．I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves．Without me, all animals would 1 ．”
Blue interrupted,“You only think about the 2 , but consider the sky and the sea． 3 the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea．Without my peace, you would all be 4 ．”
Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious．I bring laughter, fun, and 5 into the world．”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet,“I am the color of health and strength．I may be 6 , but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life．When I fill the sky 7 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 8 to any of you．”
Red could stand it 9 and he shouted out,“I am the ruler of all of you．I am the color of danger and of bravery．I am willing to 10 truth．I am also the color of passion and of love．”
Then came Purple and Indigo(深蓝)…．
The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own 11 ．Their quarreling became louder and louder．Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder．Rain started to pour down 12 ．The colors crouched(蜷缩)down 13 , drawing close to one another for comfort．
In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting 14 yourselves, each trying to dominate 15 ．Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 16 ?Join hands with 17 and come to me．”
Doing as they were told, the colors 18 and joined hands．They formed a colorful rainbow．From then on, whenever a good rain 19 the world, a rainbow appears in the sky．They remember to 20 one another．
