So we never had the chance to slowly adapt to it. Still, I didn't like the idea at first, but there was some decent food that was brought in instead of hot fatty food.
It would never have worked with a phased in approach. Offering chips and burgers alongside the healthier food would only have resulted in the healthy food being wasted as the kids would not have changed. The schools had little budget to start off with.

As for Jamie's budget and it being dearer he was not using expensive cheffy ingredients just good basic cooking with veggies.
