I am really happy and surprised at the same time, to know that children in first world countries get facilities like eating such awesome food provided for free in school.

In my country(India), its a extremely far fetched thing to even assume that somebody can provide such good quality food for free in school. When I was in School around 12 years back, We would carry a lunch Tiffin packed at home, sometimes I would go completely hungry if my mom was in a hurry so some slip happened while making the Tiffin.

And yes, cakes, pastry, vegetables are all big things. My lunch used to be far more modest.

I hope someday in my country we would capable of providing this kind of facilities to kids.



It's not exactly free. It's 2£ (GBP) per meal, so about 176₹ (INR.)

The situation in India is certainly much worse than that in Great Britain, though. I really hope the country will be able to stem the tide of poverty, overpopulation, and corruption.
