A University of Cambridge academic suggests that the Government should look at the options for free school meals for children in the holidays, as an initiative to level nutritional inequalities.
“Households with lower incomes consume less nutritious food irrespective of the areas where they live and how much they work. A big component of this disparity has to do with preferences and education but, surprisingly, income itself plays a huge role.” says Noriko Amano-Patiño a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics.
