Pod Bites: Primary School Meals: Who decides?

As part of Veg Power's annual survey of 3000 parents of primary school aged children and their children, Dan's team asked what's going on at home that's driving decisions about the take up of school meals. And they found that at any given lunch time, 25 to 30% of the children who are entitled to a free school meal, choose not to have it. Dan tells us why and what needs to happen to ensure that every child is getting access to healthy food at school.
