Vittles Season 7: Food and Policy. Each essay in this season investigates how a single or set of policies intersects with eating, cooking and life. Please find below a blog post on school lunches over the last 120 years by Lexi Earl. In the season, there are further contributions by Thea Everett, Will Yates, Katie Randall and Laura Thomas on how policy has, and continues to affect eating and food education in British schools. https://www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/school-lunches-the-last-120-years
