From "A History Of Food in 100 Recipes", which can be very disturbing because several chapters will talk about British food culture (and the lack thereof)
But wild that it took them to go "Wait, we don't have enough healthy people to die in a war" to even consider feeding kids mostly vegetable soup or pie once a day at school.
(PS. The part about removing the responsibility of parents to cook for them can either mean the author's grudge against fast food/microwaves/anything that leads you not cooking or how a doctor weighed these kids getting the meals for the first time and found out that the kids all lost weight after a 12 school break because no one fed them otherwise. So there's that.)
