Schools these days are getting so Hip,
With a Nourishing Option they are doing their bit.
As they all are engaged in a Nutritious mood,
And determined in serving the Kids Healthy food.
So its Hello Mr 'Lentil' and Goodbye Mr 'Chips'

I have heard that many children do not eat their nutritious meals because they are not used to them and don't like them. Well written
So true . When I was younger it was Fish and Chips. Being English of Course. A daily diet.
But more Health conscious now.
Thanks for Reading and sending a Comment.
Love fish and chips and being older now with little to loose am less health conscious
Kevin, this is wonderfully silly. Healthy eating has rarely sounded this much like a hostile takeover. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
I Remember having to eat Prunes at Primary School. 🤢 Terrible.
Thanks for Reading and the fave.
Memories and a big laugh as a bonus, Kevin.
School meals in fifties London. Further, fed James Hilton as reading matter too.
I always Wondered how our School Cook got off at Nuremberg. It was that bad.
Thank you for Reading.
What in retrospect still makes me laugh was the literature available to a schoolboy with scabby knees baggy shorts whose environment was an asphalt playground. “Goodbye Mr Chips” was an outlier, but the scene the same: schoolboy exploits were all in a Public School (high class, posh) environment.
I had Scabby Shorts and Baggy Knees.
My first view of Public School was watching Billy Bunter in the 60s .
Beat you to it - I read Billy Bunter stories in The Comet during the '50's......
Got ther first - I reas about him in
Yup, my battle with triglycerides and company have me in a quandary.
Read about Triglycerides. From your reply hope you are well. And thanks for Reading.
Good stuff.
Thank you .
