  The new nutritional guidelines for schools are difficult for caterers, but because they're difficult they force menu creation to be based on nutritional criteria rather than cost which has to be a good thing.
  
  Despite the doom-mongering, the school food trust has shown that the primary school version, brought in last September has actually increased student take up of school meals.
  
  One problem is that is badly policed, customers of our foodspecifications.com service were expecting a huge increase in requests for nutritional information from schools, and it didn't happen, although we are getting a lot more interest for this year's initiative.
  
  Incidentally, we've also just launched a free service for caterers that lets them create labels with a tag that students can read with their camera phones to do a quick analysis on what they're eating.

  Kids will be interested in school dinners if it actually looks good, tastes nice and for secondary schools, it isn't disgustingly expensive (compared to that takeout down the road).
  
  When my son started school, parents were invited to come and sit with their kids while they had their first school lunch. Many were unimpressed with what they saw and immediately signed up for packed lunches.
