PROPER food. Jamie Oliver in his school meals campaign talked of "Proper" food, meaning you could recognise the various parts - vegetables, fish or meat, and that they added up to a healthy meal. He said: "if you are going to start cooking proper food from scratch, you really have to take a long hard look at staff training, conditions and rates of pay." http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/J/jamies_school_dinners/

ETHICALly - based food according to the UN FAO must incorporate concern for three widely accepted global goals: improved well-being, protection of the environment and improved public health.
