Australian schools are starting to provide food, but we need to think carefully before we ‘ditch the lunchbox’

"State Liberal leader Matthew Guy has promised a trial to provide free lunches
in Victorian public schools if elected on November 26.

The A$300 million election policy is aimed at helping families with
cost-of-living pressures, through an opt-in system sourcing meals from local
business and cafes.

This idea is part of a small but growing trend in Australia to provide meals at
schools. There are lots of good reasons to move away from kids bringing their
own food to school.

But before we ditch the lunchbox, we need to think carefully about how we
replace it."
