According to the Irish Independent, tens of thousands of children are going to school every day without breakfast or with only junk food for their lunch.
"We have some children who might be lucky enough to bring a packet of chewing gum with them for lunch" one teacher is quoted as saying in a draft report which has been seen by the Irish Independent.
The Healthy Food for All Guide has been prepared by Dara Morgan, a consultant dietician and nutritionist for St Vincent de Paul, the Combat Poverty Agency and Crosscare, the social care agency in the Dublin Archdiocese.

There has also been a "new link" made between E-ingredients and hyperactivity which was pre-empted by at least 20 years of parental experience whereby their kids were hyper and ate lots of sweets and drank softdrinks, the parents then banned these because of their e-content and the kids became less hyper.
