Flashermac Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 9-Year-Old Who Changed School Lunches Silenced By Politicians For the past two months, one of my favorite reads has been Never Seconds, a blog started by 9-year-old Martha Payne of western Scotland to document the unappealing, non-nutritious lunches she was being served in her public primary school. Payne, whose mother is a doctor and father has a small farming property, started blogging in early May and went viral in days. She had a million viewers within a few weeks and 2 million this morning; was written up in Time, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and a number of food blogs; and got support from TV cheflebrity Jamie Oliver, whose series “Jamie’s School Dinners†kicked off school-food reform in England. Well, goodbye to all that. ... My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Scotland's population reaches record high Scotland's population has hit a record high of 5.25 million people according to the latest official figures. There were 5,254,800 people in Scotland in mid-2011 - 14,000 more than the previous peak recorded in 1974, said the Registrar General. While the birth rate has been declining, the death rate fell more quickly. Inward migration has also continued to fuel population growth, with most of those arriving aged between 16 and 34. Registrar General George MacKenzie said Scotland's population had been growing for nine years, with complex reasons for the trend. "The population in some areas of Scotland has decreased," he said. "Although births still outnumber deaths, there were fewer births than in 2010. "In 2011, the number of deaths in Scotland dropped to 53,661, the lowest annual total since registration began in 1855." The Registrar General's report also said nearly a quarter of marriages registered in Scotland in 2011 were for couples where neither the bride nor groom lived in the country. It also showed the percentage of babies born to unmarried couples rose steadily from the 1970s until 2008. In 2010 it was slightly more than 50% for Scotland as a whole, the same level as in the previous two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
