Towards the end a long white snack could be seen from the upper stands emerging in the crowd on the pitch. We think it was plastic cups stacked together.

The event was good – but Wembley itself it a monster of waste, serving mostly junk food and pop in plastic beakers. There were recycling bins for plastic, however we’d have saved a lot more energy if they’d allowed people to keep the tops on their water bottles and provided drinking water taps.

There was some healthy food but they could do a lot more, perhaps by opening up the catering to other companies so there is some choice.

After students had their lunches, Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Kevin Concannon made his lunch choices and paid for his meal, during a National School Lunch Week event at Nottingham Elementary School in Arlington, VA, on Wednesday, October 12, 2011. (The schedule and menu were not altered for the event). Today’s menu included roasted chicken, roasted butternut squash with dried cranberries, farm fresh mixed lettuce salad, turkey wraps, pita wedges, hot muffins, carrots, Asian pears and more.
