England's school meal rules are getting their biggest change in over a decade, with deep-fried food banned and fibre boosted. The move signals a broader push to tackle childhood obesity, but it also raises questions about funding and whether the new rules will actually change habits.
The biggest shake-up to school dinners in over a decade lands with a ban on deep-fried food and a fibre push, extending to breakfast clubs for the first time.
The ban on deep-fried food and the fibre increase are the headline changes, but the real shift is that breakfast clubs are now covered too. That's a wider net for kids' nutrition, though it's unclear how schools will fund it from existing budgets.

Birthing services returning to Biloela and Cooktown after a three-year campaign shows what happens when communities lose local maternity care. The story of Katie Craig's premature son underscores the stakes, and the four-year bypass period highlights how long these gaps can persist.
St James's Hospital recording over three incidents of violence or aggression per day, mostly targeting staff, points to a systemic safety issue in Irish hospitals. The FOI data makes it concrete, but the underlying causes, like overcrowding and understaffing, aren't addressed in the numbers.
