How little does it cost to buy a change in Government policy?

Less than you think apparently.

Take a look at this:

If this story is to be believed, Michael Gove may have 'adjusted' the guidance given to allow schools to set their own nutrition standards rather than having them dictated from central Government. (Which in turn allows the school to use cheap outside catering.)

All this after accepting a 'donation' from a major shareholder in Domino Pizza UK to help run his constituency office. (I thought we the tax payer covered that?).

Of course it's just possible that none of this is connected. It's possible that it's just a coincidence. It's probably just a coincidence that Domino Pizza is a major player in the school catering market in the USA.

None of this would matter if food were not important; but it is important.

A lack of vitamins and nutrients combined with too much stress and caffeine leads to anxiety. I see this in my work regularly. The first step to anxiety reduction (in my view) is to check on the quality of the client's diet. Frequently it's terrible.

Frequently the client has already been through the medical mill of anti-depressants or beta blocker drugs to get through things. Normally these have little or no real effect.

So now we risk doing the same thing to our children that has happened in the USA. Give them an unbalanced diet, put them under stress and then wait for them to drop into the medical system to be fixed/screwed up further.

So how much did it cost? Just £49,541.25, unless it was just a coincidence of course.
