We have had free school lunch now for 76 years, and nowadays approximatly 850.000 children eat it everyday. The Law was stated 1943 with 5 yrs of transition period so 1948 it really was in fully functioning.between 43-48 students had to bring some ingredients to school or do some work for it. Ive been working in school/ kindergarden kitchen for 23 yrs now and very proud for our system😀

As she said in the video, there are basically two ways to make the food: either the school has it's own kitchen where they make the food from start to finish, or the food is made in a central kitchen (often a private company) from where the food is distributed to the schools in the area. This does mean that the food quality varies from school to school, although in theory all schools have the same budget per meal. The municipality usually signs a contract for a few years at a time with a company to make and distribute the food, but since they are private companies, unfortunately they sometimes might skimp with the ingredients to make more profit or simply are just bad at making good recipes, so the food might be so unappetizing that the students don't want to eat it. Just the other day I read in the news about a municipality that will next year ahead of time cancel their contract with a food company, because a big part of the students in the area have started to skip the lunch most days because they think the food is so bad.
Some people here in Finland love to list their "yucky meals" from school. I have never undestood that, because all the food I have ever eaten in schools has been incredible. It has tasted good and and it has been super healthy and balanced. I do not a single "yucky meal" from school. I love it all. Maybe I was raised right, maybe my family was just poor enough for me to learn to eat what ever food was put in front of me. For me, food is a blessing.

I think most of those (yuckie)meals are not made in school, they are made by a company and then they are sent to the schools to reheat. There was a news story in YLE earlier this year how kids enjoy in school made lunches way more than brought in meals. The quality is higher and flavours are better.
I hated/hate cabbage rolls (kaalikääryleet)... 😅 Maybe because I was quite literally forced to eat it few times in one school as a little kid... Otherwise I always did eat my food without complaining tho, and even those times when we did have cabbage rolls, I then opted to eat something else more, like more salad and maybe eat the rice from the rolls but yeah.. 😅 No need to complain for free food, even if you don't like it. Just say you don't like it and eat what you can, simple. But still, those rolls are something I can't eat even still... 👀
When i was kid my favorite food in school was barley porridge and soup made from lingonberry juice (served together). :D I was in very little village school and we has our own cook lady who made the best food.
Many people seem to think all of this just happened. No. It is the result of hard work and will. This attitude is present everywhere in the Finnish society.
Nourished brain absorbs information much better :) It is also an equality thing: everyone has the same opportunity to a healthy, warm meal. Offering food to students has been in the law since WWII.
I used to eat at least once but often twice in school from 7 to 18 years old.. No complaints.. Since was quite a big boy in my teens I often got two servings because I never forgot to smile to the ladies serving the meals.. :D Then I went to FDF and started eating Finnish Army's food.. Sometimes on sundays they'd serve us with tenderloin steaks and cream potatoes.. Tiger cake.. Meat pies for evening snack.. Youghurt.. Emmental cheese.. Fresh coffee.. And out in field the combat rations had quality chocolate, melt high grade cheese.. And my favourite, sardines in tomato.. :D Big Brother has always kept us well fed for sure.. Even now I'm 200lbs, 6ft. and no fat in my body and I'm closing 50 years.. :D
Finland is a fairly big country with a small population. On top of the resulting distances, there is the overhead of living in the arctic that beds taking into consideration. Hence, all activities need to be planned and organised in efficient manner.
5:23 I remember that once in my school, someone was taking salad to their plate but then didn't take it after what they saw.. If I remember correctly, there was some sort of bug or worm.. 😅 One time I had some little rock/sand pieces in salad too, it crunched in the teeth and as I spit it out and looked, there were some little pieces of rock/sand. And I remember once when I took salad, I took a forkful of it in my mouth and it had ice. 😅 😂 I looked my plate more closely and saw lots of ice in the salad. Ohh, also, I remember that one time we had spinach soup... I like it, but one time it was mostly just water. Literally. It was a sad day for me. 🥲 I didn't and still don't like spinach soup with the boiled egg so I was soon pretty hungry that day too. Welp, things and accidents just happen sometimes and that's about it. Can't be too harsh because of those.

When I was really little, there were chefs at each school, so the food was really cooked to order, then the system of centralized cooking places came, which was fine in most cases, but the potatoes were terrible (Sweden)
We have our problems still. Everything was fine until 2010 i would say, after that they kinda stopped making food which actually kids liked and its getting worse. Nowadays its basically 50/50 who eats their school lunches.. 🤷 But hey! Its free so you have no right to complain.
Reminds me of my vocational school in Germany, it was organized similarly there, but we didn’t put the food on our plates ourselves. We said what we wanted to eat and then the cooks put it on our plate. It cost about 3€ a day, it was good, you could tell that it was prepared properly. Nowadays there are also special dishes for vegans or Muslims. Actually, in the cafeteria where I was, pork was no longer served because there were a lot of Muslims. It was smarter to simply serve beef or poultry. We didn't care, the food was good, that was all that mattered, a good cafeteria in Germany seem rather rare to me. I think it has improved a bit nowadays, but when I was in middle school it was mediocre.
Haha, l am now over 60, and l had free or subsidied good food all of my student time. Very thankful for the government. Now l have to work some more years to save their free lunches in the future. 😅
Nothing is "free". Even you coming to being cost the chance of another version of your parents' child from manifesting. Even free samples at market were paid by someone. Every "you get a bucket for free" was paid by someone. The air you breath cost someone else their oxygen! And still no child paid for their lunches. The adults sort of did of course, but in a way much more comparable to someone wasting their time and effort to keep a door open to someone else. They did the work, they spent the time, so why should someone else get a "free" pass through the door? It's almost idiotic to hold on to the thought of these things "costing" something. No man alone has ever moved a mountain, but together we have made wonders happen. If you have to be bothered even the slightest to ease someone else's existence, then it has been a bother well worth it. Does every single person "deserve" to benefit from your work? Of course not. Absolutely no-one is born in this world deserving anything for only being born alone. Still doesn't mean it isn't an absolutely amazing thing that people CAN help each other. And they should. Not everyone can and even this video highlights how these things, all be it "paid by our taxes", are just things of wonder and inspiration to those without them. And all it took was some money taken from those already getting something next to all those pesky "free" things they were able, if not needing to at this moment, get. Everyone could do with a little more money, but that's no reason for being a selfish sheit. And the more money you get the more greedy and jealous of it you become anyway, like seen from even Finnish people.
Once in like 5th or so grade we had these little spinach pancakes and there was a sign that said "X per person", but it was way too low and I was hungry, so I just grabbed a little stack and went to the table. A teacher came around and went "WHAT are you DOING?" and I went "Eating." I got detention of course. lol
Finland we have only 5,500 000 people so it is very important to get everybody with keep conditions high level. The best invest for future is take care children and education. Healty food is big piece of it. We do not have extra, unnecessary people here in Finland.
And yet in Finland they complain how bad school food is, I hate that. Year after year. I liked it and ate with pleasure. I dont know, maybe new generations are too spoiled or something.. greetings from Finland. -85 born.
We had our own kichen back then in small school, it was good food and kitchen ladies where really nice so even if it was not great some times you would still clean your plate as not to be rude. Now days food comes from centrelized grand kitchen and i can tell its not same anymore, not saying its bad but i can see why my kids have some complaints time to time.
I must admit that I LOVED all school lunches that we had back in the 1970:s to 1990:s. We got to eat so delicious food and we had so various type of food on a weekly basis. I can still remember when I was 10 years old and we boys held a competition to see who ate the most meatballs. I took the first place, with 32 meatballs 😋😋😁... We told the woman that worked in the Schools restaurant about the competition, so they was also in on it.... Those Swedish meatballs that we got to eat, where the best meatballs ever. We Finns drank milk to every meal and the milk they served was also so delicious, because it wad soooo icy cold and it came out from some kind of big containers, and not from these normal "1 liters Tetra Packs". 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

How come free. Nothing is free. Our tax rate is number one in the world. If retirement fee is included, even with average salary, tax rate is 75%.

Yep, we eat same food in central kitchen what we send for delivery. Would be dumb to bring food from home to workplace 😅
As a teacher for over 30 yrs (retired now) I always liked the food served at schools....
