I have always been grateful for the food that schools have offered here in Finland. although of course I haven't liked every dish, I've always eaten because I know it's been free for us and some people don't get the same opportunity. everyone should be grateful for such a situation❤
@@hennakettunen8755 Wtf are you even talking about?!? Nothing about this was presented as cool but as normal. Get off your high horse and sit your ass down.
I was "professional swimmer" trained 6-7 times a week from age 8 to 18 . I never got hungry at school. Ty for finnish lunch system in schools. Needed the energy got from it . Ty for employees who made the food back then. I owe u 1 😊
This is how it is in Sweden too. Weirdly not in Norway or Denmark who don’t have school meals in general. I worked in a Swedish high school for 35 years and saw the school meals get better and better. They are now brilliant.
The Finnish school system has the free (tax-funded) meal for every child for the same reason we don't have school uniforms: they worked as hard as they could on the education laws back in the days in order to ensure that every family would choose to send their child to school regardless of the financial situation of the family, rather than keep the children at home working. Free meal five times per week for every child in the family was a huge financial relief for many families. And thus they also decided that there can't be a standard uniform of any kind, everyone must be allowed to attend to the school regardless of the clothes they can afford.
When I was at school in Finland I didn't realise that all countries don't give all kids a free hot meal every, I was well into my teens before I heard that! I loved the dinners mostly, only a few dishes I didn't like. In primary school you had to at least taste everything, later you could choose. At that time, in the late 60s and through the 70s, you had to have a medical reason to have different food, choosing to eat only vegetarian etc came later.
Back in 80's and 90's the school lunch was excellent.. I was a big boy and I was always hungry as a wolf and sometimes they gave me 3 settings of food for lunch.. If it was some of my favourites like fish sticks with tar-tar sauce, dill meat, meat and rice hash, pea soup etc. I probably fueled myself for 2000 calories every lunch.. :D I was a hadsome boy and I was always especially polite and smiley for the women making and serving the food cause I knew I was gonna get extra from the ladies.. xD
@@Blessing_Reacts Nowadays Finnish school lunches are worse and also the quality of the hospital foods has gone down pretty rapidly due these competitive tenderings.
Some finnish research also shows, that there is a strong correlation to good school results in Finland and to the two facts : Firstly fact that lunch is served for everyone and secondly, lessons are paused with 15 minutes breaks, during which is almost mandatory to visit outside of the school building. These two things add up to raised energy level and ability to concentrate during lesson hours. Simple as that.
And then the woke crap came Teacher aren't able to demand Students don't have to learn Teacher can't raise the voice Students don't hake to do homework Teachers have more paperwork than ever and no time to teach Students that need more help are put on the same class than everyone else as you can't single out anyone Teacher's time goes with those who need more help And most importantly it's more important to teach that there are billion genders. You can have a two spirit penguin or black lesbian as your gender. But teaching what is the capital of Sweden is not as important. Left side woke freaks ruined my country.
In the FDF, our military, the food quality varied more because of circumstances of course.. But for example when I served as a guards platoon leader for the President and we had to serve on sundays we always had something special for our boys.. Chateu Briand sirloin stakes, potatoes in cream, tiger cake for dessert and big ass meat pies for evening snack.. I always exaggerated the number of boys in the service when I called the rations to the messhall of course.. It was f*** lovely..xD
Was in cook school. Been in few schools and can conform. Those peeps love what they doing. My school was small,under 100 so we had own cheff lady,damn good food
I am proud because nowadays pupils have so good food at schools in Finland. I am so old, that in my childhood at schools we eat some day of week porridge, some day gruel, other days potatoes and sauce or soup. In my early years at school we have to take to school bread, sometimes some drinking too. Warm meal we have in schools. Later we have better food, traditional finnish wood. In autumn we got apples and sometimes soup of bears to dessert. Free meals we have only in common schools, not after that. After wars we have no food enough, some cards needed at home to buy certain things certain quantity each other family member, not more. But we were happy to have food to eat, and it's help the family on these days when most were poor and food was valuable to have it.
Finn in Sweden, In Sweden they have basically the same system but one thing that I really appreciate in Swedish schools of what I've heard, is that after your meal in school, If you are still hungry, you are allowed to take more, that's a right the students have but I've also heard of students that have been denied when tried, which is wrong.
The school food was good and versatile. Important for a child from a poor (many child) family. Growing up time (puberty) school food was super necessary. Food could be eaten to the full. The canteen gave more value to the break than if we ate in class. School meals are also learning, even that is possible. ( School trips and days were long and children were very much outside, active.)
It started with the right principle, when Finland still was a very poor country, really troubled from the destructive WW2 for 5 years, the republic indebted over all measure. Many principles were laid down in a proactive way right from the start. The meals were simple, with enough nutrition, but no choices and no fancy stuff. Al kids in the same schools and all got to eat the same for free (tax-payed). Potatoes, ryebread, green peas, kale, lingonberries, onions, are examples of domestic cheap but healthy ingredients, and they were used a lot. Really a lot! Milk was not always provided, instead to begin with it was often asked that kids take a bottle of milk with them from home to make the meals more complete. For any country that is now developing from scratch, Finland's history has many hope-inspiring historic lessons to share. There needs to pioneers and enthusiastic activists who promote reforms, nothing was ever accomplished without them.
Yes, at least in the late 1980s and 90s there was good food in schools. And many times I would have eaten more if food quantities had not been limited or if the restrictions had been greater. For example, the number of fish sticks or mince steaks etc. was limited, e.g. 4 fish sticks per student or 3 mince steaks per student, etc. On the other hand, the food budget per student was limited and with very large quantities, the food waste would have been big, so in that sense those restrictions were good
Unfortunately some pupils don't appreciate the free healthy school lunches, but instead go and buy junk food and energy drinks. Of course not everyone likes everything, but nothing was so bad that I wouldn't eat the school lunch every day. Its good basic food, and nowadays they also have more of all kinds of international dishes that we didn't have some decades ago. There is a limited budget for the lunches, so sometimes it is difficult to make some dishes tasty, so they just have to be dropped from the menu.
It's unfortunate, I remember when vegetarian food day came, I was in vocational school at the time. It was often a pizza/kebab day for me, the spinach pancakes were an exception that everyone liked. Fortunately, vegetarian food has developed and the vegetarian food shown in the video at least looked like what I would eat myself.
@@leopartanen8752 Yes, I'm not a vegetarian, but vegetarian food can be good and it has developed. I don't know how widespread it was then or is now, but in the 90s in my school whenever the main dish was something with fish, there was always an alternative without fish. Surprisingly many teenagers didn't like fish at all and would rather be hungry. Only a few were actually allergic to fish.
@@hazeman4755 I wasn't able to eat sea fish except salmon, I will still gag if I try to eat tuna or herring, so I totally get that. 😅 If fish tastes too fishy it still tastes bad to me, and so does other seafood. Lake fish, on the other hand, have always been good, as long as they are fried in butter. 😋
Spinach soup days were always Rolls days, that stuff is inedible. Even now as an adult. Otherwise, no complaints, school cafeteria food was great. I even did my primary school internship in one!
there are no "free lunches" you may say...and we don´t have them either in schools. The fact that we don´t pay every day in school when we go to eat doesn´t mean it is free. We have very heavy tax system which provide us free meals in schools (at the moment but give government little more time and let see what they have to cut this time... :D)
By finn: No, our school meals are not copy from Canada😅 It's allways been like that in Finland. Maby canadiens has copy it from us? Please don't put your kids eat chips and sh*t, human is what it eats.
The sound reverberates so much that the speech becomes indistinct. Especially when she speaks over the video, you can't understand anything from the words.

What I think is most amazing about Finland's School Lunch Program is that it's been up from 1948. Finland was not a rich country back then.
You're wrong.
@@pekka.korhonen2569 Can you explain what is wrong?
@@Jukka-PekkaTuominen Only a plate of soup was free, this in the 60s. This did get better year by year
@@pekka.korhonen2569 I think you are replying to a wrong person. I never said anything about the meals. Only about when the program started.

Indeed. I used to hate school food, but seeing how children in rich countries like the UK nowadays go hungry, I wish they had had our 'luxury'.
I loved allmost every food in school in 80's Finland ❤
I can imagine so beautiful
I hated most of it! But I was very very picky eater as a child.
I loved or liked all the school food in 80's Finland too! I was never picky 😊
Me too. This gagging and retching theatre for basic food seems so ridiculous to me, how is that supposed to make you appear "cool"?

There is also a food system for kids on summer leave. In Helsinki city playgrounds offer warm lunch for all children monday to friday.
I must say, The food area is sooo neat! I also love the fact that it is serve yourself 😊.
