Healthy school lunches not healthy enough, says advocacy group
An advocacy group is campaigning for health school lunches this election year, saying they could be funded by a junk or sugary foods levy. Following Government cost cutting meals served as part of the revamped school lunch programme cost an average $3:50. The lunches have to meet a number of nutritional guidelines, but Health Coalition Aotearoa believe there's too much packaged food, meals are not big enough or high enough quality. Co-chair Professor Lisa Te Morenga spoke to Lisa Owen.
