More than 360 people fell ill in the Indonesian town of Sragen in Central Java after consuming school lunches, according to officials, in the largest food poisoning case to hit President Prabowo Subianto’s flagship free meals programme to date.

Since its launch in January, the free school meals programme has been marred by mass food poisoning cases across the archipelago, affecting more than 1,000 people.

Free school meals, eh?

Maybe the PRC has designs on Indonesia. Still plenty of oil and gas there?

Sorry, but children are not people. The process of becoming a human and thus a person only begins after leaving school.

Wut? Children are not fish.

Learning how to stand up is part of learning how to be a human. Many have accomplished before first birthday.

Observing human behavior is part of learning how to be a human. It starts when our eyes open.

Sounds reasonable! My boarding school poisoned us at least once a term.

GC: When I dealt with Schools Admissions a couple of decades ago, a depressingly large fraction of Primary intake (ie, aged 4) were still in nappies.
