Health Foods Introduced to School Dinners (About Anglia)
Students and teachers react to the introduction of healthy foods to the school dinner menu at a Suffolk high school.
Can salads replace chips? Let's explore the impact on students and teachers alike, as healthier food options are being introduced at the high school in the village of Stowupland, Suffolk in 1985. In a busy cafeteria, students and teachers are interviewed on the changes to their usual school dinners, reflecting the era's growing concern with diet.
Reporter Chris Young interviewed Chris Hillier, Assistant Catering Manager at Stowupland High School for this video, made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.
Video made to be inserted during live broadcast of Anglia Television's early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia. The live studio presentation provided context for the video as part of a news story or magazine feature within the programme. About Anglia was not recorded during broadcast, so it is usually just the pre-recorded programme inserts which survive. In the 1980s Anglia Television was broadcasting to a wide area in the East of England including Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Suffolk and adjoining parts of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Rutland where there was some overlap with neighbouring ITV regions.

What We Ate
If 'we are what we eat', then we're definitely not who we used to be...
The British diet has come a long way since the days when lard, suet and condensed milk were the staple of every kitchen, and when 'takeaway' invariably meant a fish supper. We still love our fish & chips - and our Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, sausage & mash and neeps and tatties. But today our supermarkets stock food and ingredients from six continents, and our comfort food may just as likely be curry, sushi, risotto, chilli con carne or peri peri chicken.
This selection of cookery shows, news reports, adverts and debates gives a taste of how our appetites and our palates were transformed, as well as highlighting some of the food fads and fears that simmered up along the way. So take a seat, browse the menu, and remember: watch what you eat!
