Campaigning chef Jamie Oliver has demanded a crackdown on the “crazy” policy of fast meals premises opening close to schools, as element of a renewed drive to tackle childhood weight problems.
Outlets currently being licensed to commence offering unhealthy items near colleges was completely at odds with the government’s investment in foods schooling and school lunches, Oliver said.
“I do find it entirely crazy that we do all this tough function in a single part of government while at the exact same time you’ve received other parts of government locally and nationally which are still permitting any old junk meals operator to open up inside of spitting distance of a school,” said Oliver. “That, to me, is madness.”
He also urged ministers to draw up a hard new blueprint to reverse the trend of growing weight problems and to appoint a figurehead to drive via changes.
“Optimistic social change is not that far away and I consider it truly is not that difficult but what demands to be done is for about 50 or 60 separate decisions and initiatives to happen at when, all followed by a 5-year strategy. The one particular point that will make a change is tons of changes.”
In an appeal for “leadership and vision” from all political events on what he known as “the shocking rise in diet-connected diseases and weight problems”, Oliver added: “Let’s see if we have one particular pioneer, one particular visionary who’s going to place prevention [of childhood weight problems] at the heart of its campaign”.
Oliver’s Channel four series Jamie’s School Dinners in 2005, which exposed how considerably unhealthy meals pupils have been served at college at lunchtimes, prompted the Labour government to introduce much more nutritious school meals in England.
