The most shocking revelation for those with a genuine interest in food is that schools are still serving up frozen beefburgers to children.

Let's face it, a frozen beefburger, purchased in bulk, doesn't sound as if it's been produced by a local farmer and handmade on the premises.
Some schools don't have kitchens, so they buy in food cooked or processed elsewhere. This has created a dislocation between what children are eating and their knowledge of where it comes from. Yet Highland, Moray and North Ayrshire councils source their meat locally and cook it on the premises – proving that it is possible to break out of long-term procurement contracts. I suspect this comes down to parent power.
