When Jamie Oliver brought the school meals service to the forefront of the obesity debate, the issues surrounding the way we feed our children were suddenly catapulted into the media spotlight.

The articles listed below take a look at the LACA Nutrient Summit, the arguments it raised and the positive steps school caterers can take to move the service forward.
