According to the Education Act, everyone has the right to free and nutritious meals during school. Students at Kilbergsskolan have access to it. Every day, two new dishes and a salad table are served.
The concern with offering a permanent dish in addition to this is that students who would otherwise try different dishes, eat one-sidedly. That’s what Emelie Eriksson at the Swedish Food Agency thinks.
– They also miss the chance to practice trying different dishes.
Instead of having a permanent right for everyone, she recommends adapted support for those who do not eat, and that schools invest in a safe and pleasant meal environment during the school lunch.
– You need to investigate what is needed for each individual who does not eat. To provide support and to practice being in a meal situation.
