"Iam concerned that we shall soon have children who are totally raised by the state..Perhaps it is time to insist that parents take more responsibilty for the well being of thier children rather than pass these issues on to schools"

Easy judgement to make, and very clearly not from a single parent or a parent that works unsociable hours.

Most of the time parents who do this have no choice as they have to work.

Likewise, most parents who don't cook great meals regularly are often too busy.

You cannot blame those who suffer from socio economic circumstances for the consequences of those circumstances.

I cook a full healthy hot tasty meal for my daughter every night.

I am lucky to have the freedom to cook my daughter her dinner and make her her packed lunch, but I have a lot more freedom than the average single parent living in Lewisham.

(PS I know this as I am a single parent living in Lewisham and I know many others not as fortunate as I)

In the winter however, she likes hot food at school, and prefers school dinners.

As long as the food is good, school dinners are a valuable part of school life.

That is why this campaign is a good idea and I have also signed.
