From Mr Ian Kelly
Sir, - I fully support the recommendation that all
schoolchildren should receive nutritious, wholesome, and healthy
school meals, as proposed in the School Food Plan (
"'Free school meals for all'", 26 July). Such meals
are not free, however.
To use the term "free" is a misnomer. What is provided free to
one must be paid for by another. Nothing is free. The correct term
is "subsidised". There is no such thing as a free lunch.
