so half the meals are crap and they didn't even cost it properly? classic nz government
my kid says the lunches are gross half the time. not surprised at all.

i get that but the system was rushed. maybe we should hold them accountable instead of just accepting crap food
lol 'something is better than nothing' until your kid gets food poisoning mate
