　　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(驚恐的)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(燉菜)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.

　　文章大意：你討厭學(xué)校提供的飲食嗎?讓我們看看英國(guó)學(xué)校的情況如何?
