Typically many of the kids in attendance come from a broken family. Most are aged between the ages of 8 to 12.\u00a0 While there is no typical profile some kids have learning difficulties while the parents of kids in single-parent families often work night shifts or keep irregular hours. In addition, some of the children rely on the free meal to provide for their breakfast meal the next day.<\/p>\n

Japan’s School Meals- Rooted in Charity<\/h5>\n

The Japanese school lunch system is famous worldwide. In addition to providing a meal it also serves up a lesson in nutrition, health & social skills. What is not so well known is that the modern Japanese school lunch has its origins in support from the USA following World War II.<\/p>\n

In December 1946 a school lunch programme was launched that covered the Tokyo, Chiba & Kanagawa prefectures. By 1947 over 3 million children around Japan were receiving a school lunch donated by America. In response to the needs of Japan aid organisations such as GARIOA<\/a>, EROA & LARA were created to help prevent “hunger & social unrest”.<\/p>\n

When Japan regained full independence following the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951, the importance of school meals was well established.\u00a0 Eventually this was enshrined in law when in 1954 the “School Meal Law” was established. The rest is history.<\/p>\n
