Why does the Executive hate children?

I know, it's supposed to be healthy for them. But if the Executive's newly published recommendations for primary schoolkids' lunches are followed, then the kiddoes have my sympathy. Here, for example, is what Wednesday's child is expected to have for lunch:
Wednesday
Granary bread sandwich filled with chopped chicken mixed with plain low fat yogurt, and crunchy lettuce.
One carrot cut into sticks
200ml carton or glass of semi skimmed milk
One peach or seasonal fruit
One oatcake lightly spread with reduced fat polyunsaturated spread

One oatcake lightly spread with polyunsaturates! And this is meant to be appetising?

And straight after that, it's round to the chippy for a poke of chips and a can of Irn Bru.
