PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE,
We are a ver...Hi Martha,<br /><br />PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE, <br /><br />We are a very small rural school in New Zealand. We would LOVE to take over your blog for you while you have a holiday. One of our teachers read about your blog (and then clicked on the link and read all the posts you had made) over a week ago on www.stuff.co.nz and was impressed with your honesty, clarity, and willingness to help others. She realised that what you were doing was not to ‘attack’ what your dinner ladies were serving up, and simply a writing assignment which had then become an effort to raise awareness about those who go hungry.<br /><br />As a small rural (country) school, we would appreciate the chance to take over from you for a while. While we know we cannot hope to write as well as you, we feel we can provide another perspective (opinion) for your readers. Our school is made up of year 1-8 students (5-12 year olds) and our class, being the senior class (9-12 year olds) would take a particular interest.<br /><br />Please let us help you. Not only would we do our best for you, but we would raise New Zealand’s awareness of child poverty, and in turn raise our awareness of the world around us. <br /><br />We look forward to hearing from you soonfriend1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11802889999509129790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-9369617716159571572012-06-21T23:04:37.118+01:002012-06-21T23:04:37.118+01:00I was listening to the radio the other morning on ...I was listening to the radio the other morning on my run, and they were talking about your blog.

It's so cool that you incorporate photos & descriptions of meals that other students send you from around the world. It's pretty clear also that you come from a very special family so big, BIG kudos to yr Mum Dad & Sis for supporting your efforts ;-)<br /><br />We've just thrown our little bit toward yr fund for Mary's Meals(https://www.justgiving.com/neverseconds) and I hope EVERYONE who comes to your blog will do the same with whatever they can afford.<br /><br />Just one request: it sounds like maybe you're not crazy about salad. We understand that as it's not everyone's fave. But DO please try to have some at least a couple of times per week ok? This planet & the human race are going to need smart, capable, HEALTHY young people like YOU in order to survive. And for that, you need to eat LOTS of fresh, raw veggies & fruits. Continued success to you Martha - I have a good feeling that we're going to hear more about you in the future. You have proven that one person can make a big, positive difference in the world and the lives of countless other people.<br /><br />Cheers, Sean & Steve - in Toronto (Ontario) Canada (... how many seconds? ;-) ...)Sean & Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413646148070611008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-65086125812877137422012-06-21T19:42:24.803+01:002012-06-21T19:42:24.803+01:00Love ur blog,I read it everyday!Love ur blog,I read it everyday!Charlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434359016655469931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-46292259778434133262012-06-21T19:23:09.457+01:002012-06-21T19:23:09.457+01:00Considering the massive problem the USA is facing ...Considering the massive problem the USA is facing with obesity I am glad to read it looks a bit "skimpy."

Veg chose to have an unhealthy burge...@Harry Adams,<br />Veg chose to have an unhealthy burger and no salad, and that was her choice. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a burger, nor with the fact that they are offered by the school kitchen. The problem comes when people eat NOTHING but burgers, and NEVER eat salad (or the like).<br />As far as I can remember, this is only the second EVER burger she chose at school in over 2 months. I am no expert, but I suspect 2 burgers in 2 months are OK if the rest of the time the diet is good?<br /><br />The main point Veg's posts highlighted at the start of her Blog was a lack, or limited choice, of ANY healthy options, and the fact that the healthy parts (if offered, veg, fruit etc) were rationed-<br />They could not have the healthy Fruit unless they ate all the unhealthy main course first! <br /><br />It seems that now the children at her school are allowed to have almost as much fruit and veg as they want, even if they do not eat the rest, and no one ever got overweight (as far as I know) eating lettuce, carrots or broccoli. (Wind perhaps, ParpPPP!! yes, but a kid with a healthy diet and wind is better than an overweight kid with constipation who will get diabetes in later life.)Dorsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617296714664081930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-33366285100404329812012-06-21T18:54:42.945+01:002012-06-21T18:54:42.945+01:00Maybe some money could be raised towards a minibus...Maybe some money could be raised towards a minibus to collect children in the morning and take them home after school?<br />I love your blog Martha, it's a genius idea!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468408821814437609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-10575059389464213672012-06-21T18:50:54.698+01:002012-06-21T18:50:54.698+01:00The above suggestion from ellieandoliver gets my v...The above suggestion from ellieandoliver gets my vote too.Dorsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617296714664081930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-15084615771212055432012-06-21T18:26:00.757+01:002012-06-21T18:26:00.757+01:00Hey.
