文章大意:本文主要讨论了英国学校午餐的问题。文章中,一些家长选择为孩子准备午餐,而另一些家长则选择让孩子在学校吃热餐。然而,有关学校午餐的健康问题引起了人们的关注。厨师杰米•奥利弗在学校厨房工作了一年,他对学校提供的不健康食物感到担忧,于是改善了学校的餐食,并建议政府改善全国的学校食品。现在,这些改变已经开始实施,学校的餐食比以前更健康了。
In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner—a hot, cooked meal, or they can take a packed (包装的) lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want, Cathy, mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, said, “Fizzy (起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food such as stews (炖煮的菜) and curries in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have fast food like chip and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
