Where these projects have been run, the results are extremely good. Children are healthier, children have something to do and parents are much less anxious. I have spoken to numerous teachers over the years when I have been doing food policy, and so many of them say that you can tell which of the kids who come back to school in September have had lousy food for the past six weeks—who have been living on a diet of burgers and bits of pizza and ultra-processed food and watching TV or playing games on their computers. They are behind, and it takes several weeks to get them together.
