    All children should get free breakfast and lunch at school

      In Australia the only thing we got was access to a water fountain at school!

    The lunches at the school looked pretty fantastic. I have always packed my children's lunches - very full lunch boxes with lots of choices - I could never afford to buy school lunches for them - that would be like taking them out to a restaurant every day. Whenever they ask if they can have school lunch someday, I say, "no, probably not. School lunch is for kids whose moms don't love them enough to pack their lunch." They do not buy into my reasoning though! There's no free lunch program at our school. If you are getting school lunch, you have money to burn. My older girl went to a very posh school that had lots of choices at the cafeteria, including a beautiful salad bar. She said all the kids just got bagels or pizza.

      Pack your children a lunch. There should be no school lunches to buy. My parents were working poor and I has a lunch. They couldn’t afford junk food. I survived.

      That's really great. I think the difference is Sweden has about 8million and the Uk about 68 million people.

      @@sandrafinbar it's all relative though... the UK also has some of the world's wealthiest earners, who are (in my view) not taxed fairly. Sweden does not have so much poverty because they actually invest the taxes they do raise, into services that really work for the public. We seem to mismanage everything in the UK, I used to work in housing support and it's shocking the amount of waste, incompetence and underfunding

      We don't have school lunches in Canada for free and if there is those programs are few and far between, ironically in the US there is free school lunches for those in need and foodstamps.

    I live in the U.S. & I remember once seeing this PSA years ago where 6 kids are in school & during lunch 1 of them has no food so a kid that brought their lunch gave the boy some chips. The PSA was about how roughly 1 in 6 kids in the U.S. face poverty in that they go hungry & for many lunch at school may be the only meal they get a day.

      Maybe the poor kid’s parents should work harder and get better jobs. Why should tax payers pay for someone’s choice of raising a child?

    1:10 I'd recommend a different color tie, something bright (red, blue, pink, purple, a santa patterns) to contrast with the grey jacket.

    1:45 It’s probably better that their lunch boxes are not big - they won’t have to face the problem of becoming super-morbidly-obese later in life 🤨
