「食」在好健康
在英國的契斯納小學,電視主廚傑米•奧利佛可能會引以為傲的一個計畫將持續發揮作用。

  遺憾的是,孩童喜歡吃垃圾食品,而這不利於他們的健康。在這種食物中發現的高脂肪和糖含量可能會導致肥胖以及其他問題。幸運的是,某些學校透過鼓勵其學生嘗試更健康的選擇來因應這個問題。一個像這樣的學校是位於英國南托登罕的契斯納小學。契斯納小學為了讓午餐時間成為孩童更正面的體驗,他們自己經營餐飲服務,而不是依賴外頭的食品供應商。作為該計畫的一部分,學校還飼養五隻雞,並販售雞蛋給該地區的家長和其他居民。大多數的學生(大約 70%)經常食用學校所準備的膳食。據校長卡爾•蕭表示,自從落實了這套系統,對學生有若干個好處。學校的出席率有所改善,操場上的打架事件也減少,蕭說道:「……學校整體學業成績,也連續三年都進步了。」
  在英國的學校中,吃得更好的這種趨勢至少有一部分是由於知名主廚傑米•奧利佛的努力。奧利佛關注到英格蘭許多學校所供應的食物品質不佳,他在 2005 年發起了「給我好食」運動。在其受歡迎的電視節目中,他努力說服孩童們選擇食用新鮮、健康的食物來取代垃圾食物。最後,他的此項運動說服英國政府花費數億英鎊來改善學校的食物計畫。無疑地,奧利佛將為契斯納小學計畫的成功感到自豪!
