That’s us told… posters from when the nanny state knew best – in pictures



Body building foods/energy foods
1954 Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Schools had been providing meals to pupils before the war, but it was not until the Education Act of 1944 that the provision of free school meals and milk became a statutory duty. By 1951 school lunch was eaten by 49% of pupils. With a good proportion of children receiving this nutritional minimum, it is perhaps not surprising, if shocking, that a 1998 study by the Medical Research Council found that children in the 1950s were healthier than their 1990s counterparts. Interestingly, the promotion of fat, starch and sugar as positive elements in a diet, let alone as energy foods, is at odds with the message adopted later in the century.

I think the people who complain about hospital food, are the ones who expect burgers, etc, and dont want meat and three veg.

That sounds about right Wendy!

You'll be lucky to get meat and 3 veg in our local hospital, a lot of the swill they dish up it quite spicy and not suitable for many people, my husband was allowed home sometimes for lunch when he was in hospital as he needed a high protein diet and they couldn't provide that, I was told to give him steak.
