Food is part of everyone's lives. How that meal gets to our table depends on a large, complex and interweaving system. It includes growing, distribution and commerce, health provision government and community action, culture, and so much more. Join me as I attempt to unpick, and mull over all aspects of this system. I'll be joined by guest who are experts in their individual fields, but all passionate about the system that feeds our bodies, and sometimes our souls too.

In the last episode of the pod cast we spoke with Colin Inglis, The Hull City Council leader who implemented the country's first ever provision of Universal Free School meals. Not only this, the council's catering department brought in a policy of providing healthy and nutritious meals, years before Jamie Oliver thankfully shamed the government into re-establishing minimum school food standards.
In part 2 of this 3 part mini series it made sense to talk with someone who delivered these much improved, and universally free, school lunches.
This where a bit of good luck plays it's part. Mike Clayphan was one of the managers of Hull Catering at the time of Eat Well Do Well, and after retirement he decided to spend a couple of years back in the kitchens working as a school cook. It just so happens he chose a school where I also work. So at the end of the summer term last year we got together in the school garden to say goodbye, and to talk about school food in general, and very much Eat Well Do Well in particular.
