Debate raged in the press last week over whether the 280m pledged by Labour to transform school meals was 'new money' or cash from the existing education budget. The Daily Mail criticised 'Labour's Pounds 280m turkey twizzler', saying it would reduce cash available for teachers and only amounted to a 'measly 4.47 a year extra per child'. According to Jamie's mum, school dinners were never healthy enough for her little boy. Sally Oliver confessed to The Sun that Jamie took a packed meal to school every day because the dinners lacked fresh ingredients.

On April Fools Day, the Independent revealed that Jamie Oliver had been named the Conservative Party candidate for Arundel and the South Downs. The paper said it was the 'latest headline-grabbing stunt to be cooked up by the Tories'.
On a more serious note, The Scotsman said a new book by an American academic found that babies recognise advertising logos by 18 months old and in their nursery years, children request about 25 products a day.
