Do you have lunch at school? Do you like having lunch at school? “School dinners”（that means “lunch”）is a hot topic in the UK these days.     1    . Some people think that school meals are unhealthy, some people say that they are much better than those in the past and others say that midday meals should be free for all school children.

A typical school dinner costs about two pounds (about 17 yuan) a day for a secondary pupil in the UK. Parents usually need to pay for the typical school dinner in advance online. There is usually a main course, a dessert and a drink. And dinners must include food groups such as fruit and vegetables, protein and carbohydrate(碳水化合物).     2     For example, there are limits(限制) on number of fried food. Children are only allowed to eat small amounts of fatty or sweet food. Besides, three different kinds of fruits and vegetables must be served each week. More recently, online systems like “Parent Pay” give parents more control over what their children are eating at school.     3    

Martha Payne, from Scotland, started a blog called Neverseconds about her school dinners when she was just nine years old. She posted photographs of her lunch every day and gave the food a grade out of ten.     4     Many people read her blog and young people from all     over the world posted pictures of their school meals on Neverseconds.

Now, more than a third of British school pupils have school dinner. Some take a packed lunch, prepared at home. Others either have lunch at home or eat at nearby take-away restaurants.

There are also many plans to examine school dinners in the UK and look at ways to make them better. Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent started Leon, a chain of restaurants which sell healthy fast food. The British government has asked the two restaurant owners to collect information about school dinners and see how they can be improved.     5
