Support for Jamie Oliver and his Feed Me Better campaign

Sign up now and register a vote for the Feed Me Better campaign, click here to vote

Jamie's School Dinners is all about making radical change to the school meals system and challenging the junk food culture. Showing how schools can serve fresh nutritious meals that kids enjoy eating will make the difference. It is already too far gone that the only strategy left is to name and shame.

What we eat affects everything. Mood, behaviour, health, growth, even our ability to concentrate. A lunchtime school meal should provide a growing child with one third of their daily nutritional intake. But the processed junk foods served in most school dining halls these days don't. Read about the problem and act.


They say that "you are what you eat". Well, Feed Me Better applies to animals too. Check out this cool animation that explores the perils of factory farming. Take it a step further and learn more about the terror of factory farming at the www.themeatrix.com

Finally if you have something to say and you are not sure how to say it, go to the top and email the PM.
