Eat it all up now!
Business incentive to eat all your school dinner (or works canteen lunch) | |
With every empty plate (completely empty) you receive a
lottery style card or raffle ticket. At the end of the week the
raffle is drawn and you may be the winner of a cash prize.
If at school this is funded by the local council, which will
encouage students to eat their food. If funded by the
works
canteen this would be suplemented by the boss to stop
wasted food.

When I was in grade school they made a big fuss about cleaning your plate of that rubber chicken and plastic potato. However, I usually found ways to subtly deceive the monitors. Some of the food served to children is much too high in calories for some kids, and is actually meant to supplement the diets of kids who can't get enough to eat at home. I think that making *everyone* clean their plates equally is getting to be an anachronism. |

Gee, little [gizmo] was just a wee sprout when he was here. Now I fear he is old and infirm, not allowed by his nurse to visit us. |

I never understood that favourite saying of mothers everywhere: "Eat up! There's starving children in Africa!".
Well, if I left some on my plate, I could sent it to them! |
