Susan Miller, The Dietitian Loves: “I support the Good Food For All charter and believe our schools in Glasgow should be serving freshly prepared meals, with locally sourced ingredients to our children, and organic where possible. I have made contact with Glendale Gaelic School with regards to becoming a food for life school and if agreeable to this then help them raise the necessary funds for them to achieve this. In 2014, 31% of Scotland’s children were at risk of becoming overweight (including obesity). 17% were at risk of becoming obese. The food currently being served across schools in glasgow is unacceptable and will not help Scotland’s obesity statistics. It’s time to remove the hot dogs and chocolate milk from the menu! I will promote the importance of a sustainable food system to both corporate and private clients, including the soil association and other local community food groups through my work.”
