A little girl in Argyll started a school dinners blog. She took photos of her school dinner and posted them on her blog and made comments. She has a foodometer and gives them a mark. She had the full support of the school. Some idiot newspaper got hold of the wrong end of the stick and said the dinner ladies should be sacked. The story went viral.
The little girl used her blog to raise money for the Scottish charity Mary's Meals which provides school dinners for children in poor countries. Before to hoo-ha she had raised about two thousand pounds. I think she was aiming at £7000. As a result of the newspaper hoo-ha and a council official's faux-pas (which has been corrected by the coundil leader), I think the total is up to £50,000.
