Eat Up Kids!

If the Government have handed Chartwells, a private company contracted by the Department for Education, a contract for £30 per child for school meals for 10 days, why have the hampers turned up with only £5.22 worth of food in it?
In a widely shared photo of the hamper's recieved, we can see Bread (89p), Beans (85p), Carrots (15p), Apples (42p), Potatoes (22p), Tomato (11p), Cheese (£1.45), Frubes (33p), Pasta (10p), Soreen (40p) and Bananas (30p) which comes to £5.22
A spokesperson for Chartwells said: 'We take our responsibility to provide children with access to nutritious food very seriously' and that their hampers 'follow the DFE specifications and contain a variety of ingredients to support families in providing meals throughout the week'.
The kids may not be doing very well out of it, nor the public purse which is paying for it but Chartwells are doing very nicely thank you, £25 profit per child, kerching!!!
