Why is the canteen so important?
The school environment has a significant impact on the development of eating habits. Just about everyone can remember purchasing an ice-cream, meat pie or sausage roll back in their day as a special occasion. But these days, that special occasion has grown into multiple times a week, or for some children every day.
