School Food Matters in Kingston
This petition was published by Stephanie Wood on Oct 20, 2009
We are residents of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and we care about what our children eat at school. We support School Food Matters in its call for Council to:
• invest in school kitchens to enable all schools to have fresh food cooked on site;
• invest in catering staff with training and enough paid hours to enable them to cook fresh food on site;
• write stringent contract specifications for the next tender document, committing to fresh produce from local* and sustainable sources;
• promote farm visits and cooking and growing programmes in schools to support food education, thus teaching vital life skills.
* SFM defines “local” as "nearest accessible source".
