I grew up in northern England, where at least in high school most kids would happily order and eat a plate of chips (chunky french fries) for dinner (lunch). In primary (elementary) school we got free milk every day until “Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher” took it away from us. I think lunch was free at primary school (not sure actually) but you had to pay at secondary (high) school. In general the food was both unhealthy and uninteresting. Great video guys, always so interesting, informative and fun!
I'm 44 now, and live in Jylland. Back in primary school I was fortunate to attend a private school. We did not get food, but had a cafeteria where we could buy food - I was allowed to buy every Friday. They had buns, a fairly coarse (google translate.. you know, a rather healthy bun) that tasted really good. The same dough was used for their sausage horns (is that even correct English??). They had milk, juice and cacao. I loved that cafeteria. On top, it was run by one employee, and then the 7th graders had shifts of one week through the school year, so 4 went and helped in the cafeteria, baking, setting up tables, grocery shopping, and running the cash register. A lot of learning being there for a week!
Thank you for your always interesting videos. I am 67 and was a student at large public schools in Copenhagen in the late 60s and early 70s. The children received free milk, but the food our mothers had given us in our lunch boxes. Typically rye bread sandwiches. Not all children have well-educated or wealthy parents, so I am a strong supporter of schools serving food and drinks, so that everyone gets the same good start in life and better health with healthy habits. Of course, special considerations must be taken in cases of allergies, religions, etc. It is important that at least one teacher participates in the meals to stop any bullying and give good advice if the children need it.
Following your channel over the years it's wonderful to see how Maya has developed into a very smart and sensitive young woman with knowledge and experience from two cultures, that gives her a kind of wisdom rarely seen in such young people. On the topic of school lunches: I lived in Southern California in the mid 60's with my parents, I went to the 5th and 6th grades, and in my school we had a warm meal every day. I really loved the school lunches, I mostly remember the Mexican food we had, tamales, frijoles and tacos, as well as sloppy Joes that I really loved. In Denmark, my mom packed my lunch in an aluminum box with rugbrødsmadder with leverpostej, rullepølse, torskerogn, markelsalat, etc. I did eat it but it was not very exiting. I loved the hot meals in the US school. I really hope the meal program in Danish schools will be a permanent offer.
Such a good interview, Maya! For the first six years of "folkeskole" I ate two buns with butter or a pizza roll a day, which I could buy for 10 DKK at the school. From grade six the school upgraded to a healthier meal plan, so we could choose between lasagna, spaghetti or two soups for a higher cost. I have no idea how I managed to get through a day without more fuel, but we all did. We could bring food from home but only few of my classmates did, as that was "not as cool".
If you're Danish and have a TV package of some sort, you should be able to go back to yesterday in the TV guide and watch the episode, since all the TV packages are digital now - I just remembered I could do it with Allente, for instance. Maya pops up around 1:05:40 in the episode 😀
as a 34 year Danish dude, from Jutland. I remember that at my elementary school, we for a few years, had daily food deliveries. IIRC once a week, we would cross off on a list of options what we wanted, again if I recall correctly, we had 3 or 5 options per day to choose from. think it was a co-lab across various school in the municipality (which back then was smaller) with the food then made by a remote kitchen staff (i think it was at a Nursing home). while not a canteen experience, it was still pretty good. -as i remember it, this was mostly for grade 7+ pupils
Maya's Danish is so good! Such a bright girl, I bet you'll be a great teacher one day (and boy do we need those here lol). I lived abroad for a while (UK) as a kid, where we had hot school lunches as well, but I could NOT get on board with the food until like some of the later grade years, where we had access to a salad bar lol (salad bar was good, but the hot lunches were like all the beige British staples and it did not go well with my taste buds or stomach haha). But then coming back to denmark, my school had a catering company that you could choose to get meals from, but after getting cold, bland spinach soup 3-4 times in just a few weeks, I opted out as well 😅 I hope they manage to make it both healthy and, as you said, interesting for the kids!
I grew up in Copenhagen with packed lunches from home, as that was just how it was back then. Now working as an after-school teacher (pedagogue), I’ve seen schools that offers paid lunch programs that the parents opt into and can pick and choose what days they want it. They seem to have a few options to accommodate whatever religious or lifestyle choices people may have. After-school schemes also serve food later in the day, usually around 14:00-16:00, just to top up the blood sugar levels in a healthy way. I don’t recall that being a thing when I grew up though. As for the teachers (or pedagogues) eating with the children, it’s seems to be more widespread with the younger kids. Where I work, a teacher is present during lunch, mostly for supervision, but technically have their own lunch afterwards, though some do dine with the kids. Whereas at the after-school scheme the kids usually eat amongst themselves, and sometimes also help serve the food. The pedagogues may join in, but it’s usually for professional reasons rather then because we’re actually hungry, as sitting down and dining with the kids is a good way to bond both ways. Oh, and nut allergies are definitely a thing here as well (as well as lactose and gluten intolerances/allergies). We’ve all had professional training and have EpiPens for the relevant kids. All foods are also planned and prepared knowing who can eat what.
Glad to see you guys again! it's been a little while, but obviously you guys got other things to do than sitting around making youtube videos all day ;D I'm hoping that you're considering another christmas beer tasting josh, and hope that you're all doing well and are happy! Christmas i around the corner! LETS GOOOO!
In 1992, I was in North Dakota as an exchange student ... first in a small town called Gackle, and later in another small town called Hatton. Both were miserable experiences for a whole, complicated number of reasons. I clearly remember school-lunches, too. In both places, which were quite a ways apart, the lunches were oddly similar in layout, day after day. Pizza one day a week ... bad pizza at that, tasting quite a lot like salty rubber and having much the same texture as a flat bike-tire ... and otherwise, the only semi-edible thing they served was that you could have mac and cheese every single day if you wanted it. That was never off the menu. And if you hadn't brought money for food, you could make a PB&J sammich or two. This was still when it was real peanut-butter, as well. I skipped lunch most days and made my homework and then ate when I got home, instead. The food was absolutely atrociously bad.
As a Dane, I lived in Sweden (Stockholm) for nine years. All my years in school was in Sweden. This was from 1957 to 1966. There was always a hot meal, served in the canteen (matsal). In those days basic Swedish non-fancy food. The menu was the same all over the city of Stockholm and one could read the menu the day in advance, in the newspaper. My elementary school, in the outskirts the city, was a small and old school. There they were, believe it or not, still preparing the food on a couple of wood fired stoves.
When I was an exchange student in the mid 90” the high school I attended had 4 different options every day. Pizza Hut had a stand. There was a “hot lunch” option that changed every day and was different American meals. Then there was a pasta and salad bar and the last option was a sandwich. You could also buy cookies, candy, juice and soda from vending machines around the school. The danish school I work at in Kolding (Jylland) tried having a food option for a year. The parents wanted us to sell healthy food with whole grain and vegetables , but the kids mostly bought mini pizzas and sausage rolls (pølsehorn) - with whole grain of course. The healthy options were not as popular.
Some of the schools I've went to, had school lunches. The best was probably not the most nourishing, but tasted really good. Used to be able to buy a ham & cheese toast for like 5kr when I went there, and most kids in my class and all other classes used that, and we also got a free milk with the order.
When I was in primary school, we were assigned penpals from Båstad, Hundested's Swedish friendship town. Once they visited us at our school, and once we visited them. What I remember best from that visit was lunch. The Swedish schools actually served lunch to the pupils. A hot meal, even. When we were at our own school, we brought lunch from home. That was always, for all of us or nearly so, "håndmadder", that is simple pieces of smørrebrød you can eat without cutlery. I don't remember what felt wierdest, that the school provided lunch, or having a hot meal for lunch. The only thing you could buy at our school was milk. You would not bring money on a typical day. There were regular times when you could buy milk marks for money. You would then buy 25 cl of milk with one milk mark. This was in Hundested. I was in primary school from '66 to '75. The visit to Sweden must have been around 1970.

In my 2’nd and 3’rd class back in 70-72 we had school milk where you got a quarter of a liter. It disappeared after a couple of years. Years later in 9’th grade I was studying at a bording school, where I obviously ate there as well. 😅 In 10’th class the school had a small shop where you could buy some healthy types of food.
Hi, im from Fredericia in Jylland and in my School there was something callt a “bod” where we Can go and buy food every day. But there was all so this Think for the older students where they Can go Down to the town and buy food😊 btw love your videos😁
vi fik gratis mælk de såkaldte trekantede kartoner med sugerør , og så kunne man få en madpakke til dem der bestilte en , jeg gik på jagtvejens skole fra 1961
In elementary school in the 60'ies we all brought our own food as "madpakke", but there was a "milk scheme" so you got fresh milk everyday.. Later it was possible to buy food at the school if you wished. And in the last years we left school and bought junk food for lunch. School Lunch will be so much better.
It's very interesting that so many people have food allergies in the US (and to a growing extent in the UK). I meet children that suffer with hay fever, but rarely food allergies. I wonder why it's such a problem in other countries???
As an adult I find it sad if really only 20% of the schools here in Denmark in 2024 have the ability to give/sell food to the children. I went to elementary school in the 80s and already back then I was able to buy food and milk in school. I hope this will be available to all students at some point.
When I was in school its in 1952, we all fot lunch and milk in school. It was smørrebrød and we ate in the classroom. Teachers watch us if we ate all lol. At that tiime just after ww2, many was poor fed during the 5 years.
Grew up in the cities right around Copenhagen, and went to school from 2000-2012 for context. We had school meals but you had to pay for it and then it would be delivered to the school at lunch and you would have some kind of.. Idk identification to get your food? I didn't get it because i absolutely hate traditional Danish food and it was often "boller i karry" or some boring lasagne or whatever.. I did like the bun they got on the side though, it was just a simple carrot bun but it was great! My friend didn't like it so i got her bun and she could get one of my ryebreads lol 😂 It was a great option for someone like her, who's mom just didn't have the time or finances to make lunch, the lunch where payed by some kind of financial support, so i think that was such a great option for those who have trouble affording much! But i knew many in my class who opted for the meals because they would rather have that then ryebread, so i guess it worked great. Personally i would never eat that kind of food, so i would hope if we do get food in schools that there is options to choose from? I was a picky eater, but i also had a bad eating disorder due to (at the time un-diagnosed) Autism so i have a problem with textures, strong smells, and fatty foods.. If i could choose between ryebreads, salads, warm meals or something else, that would be great and i would be all in. At my efterskole, we where served hot meals for lunch, there would not be ANY other options unless you had allergies or where vegan, which was stated prior to starting school so i couldn't just opt in on the vegan train.. and they would always make "svensk pølseret" or "boller i karry" or something else like that, and i would have to either not eat at all, or go to my room to eat knækbrød with Nutella/Peanut butter or noodles.. It did not feel very inclusive at all and i hated it so much.. If that is the solution, i would just pack my child lunch instead..
I grew up on Fynen and at elementary school the only thing we got was 0,25 liter of milk every day (in the seventies - long time ago) and you would bring your own lunch bag every day made by my mother every morning, so it was fresh made 😅👍 (today I make my own lunch bag in the morning). In high school and university, I also had to bring my own lunch bags, but you had the opportunity to buy food, but most of it was good healthy food, e.g. rye bread with cold cuts / smørrebrød. Because I was used to get healthy food and fresh made, then I do the same thing today, so I believe that it is importance that you are learned from you childhood to get good healthy food every day. Today as a grown up, then I don’t eat much junk food - I prefer the rye bread. I have to learn it from you are a kid.
I went to a small (socialist) school of about 150 students back in the 90s... going from 8th to 10th grade... we cooked our own food... meaning we had different groups that took turns cooking for the whole school...
I’d say about teacher’s eating whit students depends on the person, while i was in School (Tradium) our teacher ate whit us in the beginning as a way to learn about her students. I prefer having such a teacher over someone we would think didn’t really care all that much but getting through their day.
For a brief period my school had a cafeteria where we could buy lunch. It was called "No junk" which was quite ironic when you look at the reason they had to close. Firstly we could buy bagels with some type of meat and then we could fill it ourselves with salad from the salad bar, but apparently we over filled them. Imagine that, the problem was the pupils ate too much salad and vegetables. Secondly, we didn't buy enough snack like cookies, sodas or sugary drinks. We mainly bought lunch and it wasn't enough for the firm to make ends meet. They literally had to close because we didn't buy enough junk. I guess they should have thought of a better name.
Hi from a Floridian in Odense (31 years abroad) small note, when looking at your co host, attempt to turn your head a bit less than a 90 degree head turn. Try 45 degrees and use your eyes to make up the difference. Notice how it looks when you do the 45 degree turn. You do it a lot, too, which us nice. It looks nice seeing a little bit of the face that is turned away from the camera. The 90 degree turn looks 2 dimensional by comparison.
The English word IS pedagogy/pedagogical, it's just that nobody uses it 😉 I've seen pædagog translated to "someone with a degree in human development", I thought that was clever.
what you talk about with allergies. We have that in Denmark too, not so much for nuts but for flour and milk instead. to bake In the 80's and early 90's I went to a small school where the school cooked food for the students once a week and it wasn't very tasty
I only have fond memories of eating our home packed lunches at school. Then we could trade with eachother like if I only wanted leverpostej madder and someoneelse would trade for my cheese or makrel mad 😂 Also getting a new cool box to put the lunch in and being exited to show your friends. And making paperballs from the soggy "mellemlægs papir" to throw at eachother 😂 But I do agree its better for schools to give kids a hot meal that they can enjoy together.
So you have moved your channel to television! I do not have a TV and seeing TV2 on the net, is behind a paywall. Any chance you will move your channel to DR? 😄😉
Personally I believe they should use the money on better working environment for the teachers,- better material, computers, books etc. My reason for this is since 1980s and still to this day, you will see kids getting photocopies. Not having up to date facilities (playgrounds chairs toilets etc.) And another personal view is I hope they reopen the speciel-needs school. So the well-functioned kids don't have to be lab-rats on what I consider a saving-money-project (inklusions skolen). I believe the Folkeskole do not hold neither the competence OR the manpower/hours to meet the needs of those kids and on the same time - make sure the rest gets adequate help/teaching. :) ...and in that way I don't think school food is for Denmark. We got money enough to make sure kids is well fed :)))
"There's a new madordning in Danish schools". 🙂🥕🥑 Jeg har ikke adgang til TV2 (har ikke tv), så havde håbet at denne video ville vise osv. Men det ville nok ikke være lovligt. Ville gerne høre Maya tale dansk.
Providing nourishment has traditionally always been a job for the parents. And in doing so, it has kept a LOT of other issues at bay. Once you have school lunches, you also have to have a meat-free alternative, a gluten-free alternative, a lactose-free alternative. Even a halal-alternative, in some cases. Because no matter what, someone WILL find a way to be offended and think they're being excluded if they aren't catered to. This is simply not a problem if the child brings food prepared from home. On top of that, it just creates another expenditure for the already extremely hard-pressed schools that are already cutting down on field trips and school supplies, and in many cases if school lunches become mandatory they'll have to save money by cutting one or two teacher jobs and make due with either underpaid substitutes or none at all. Because teachers in a school are, paradoxically, not mandatory.
It's financed outside the school budget as a test run. I would expect schools to complain loudly if they were to cover it. To the menu. There's a diverse population in Minnesota where they have a similar program and have found a way.
Nice to see you both again. Neat that Maya could do the show and give input on lunches in American schools, some places have better food than others.
The show about Maya's post-Gymnasie party (the bus ride) really took me 26 years back :D

Well tbh nowadays the no food for school thing isn't an issue. I personally think it's a waste of tax payers money on something which is not welfare.
I saw you Maya, you were great, you also talk Danish perfect alredy 😍

I went to elementary school in the 80s and already back then I was able to buy food and milk in school. I hope this will be available to all students at some point.
When I was in school its in 1952, we all fot lunch and milk in school. It was smørrebrød and we ate in the classroom. Teachers watch us if we ate all lol. At that tiime just after ww2, many was poor fed during the 5 years.
Grew up in the cities right around Copenhagen, and went to school from 2000-2012 for context.
We had school meals but you had to pay for it and then it would be delivered to the school at lunch and you would have some kind of.. Idk identification to get your food?
I didn't get it because i absolutely hate traditional Danish food and it was often "boller i karry" or some boring lasagne or whatever.. I did like the bun they got on the side though, it was just a simple carrot bun but it was great! My friend didn't like it so i got her bun and she could get one of my ryebreads lol 😂
It was a great option for someone like her, who's mom just didn't have the time or finances to make lunch, the lunch where payed by some kind of financial support, so i think that was such a great option for those who have trouble affording much! But i knew many in my class who opted for the meals because they would rather have that then ryebread, so i guess it worked great.
Personally i would never eat that kind of food, so i would hope if we do get food in schools that there is options to choose from?
I was a picky eater, but i also had a bad eating disorder due to (at the time un-diagnosed) Autism so i have a problem with textures, strong smells, and fatty foods.. If i could choose between ryebreads, salads, warm meals or something else, that would be great and i would be all in.
At my efterskole, we where served hot meals for lunch, there would not be ANY other options unless you had allergies or where vegan, which was stated prior to starting school so i couldn't just opt in on the vegan train.. and they would always make "svensk pølseret" or "boller i karry" or something else like that, and i would have to either not eat at all, or go to my room to eat knækbrød with Nutella/Peanut butter or noodles.. It did not feel very inclusive at all and i hated it so much.. If that is the solution, i would just pack my child lunch instead..
Is it possible to see the clip with Go' morgen Danmark? :)
I grew up on Fynen and at elementary school the only thing we got was 0,25 liter of milk every day (in the seventies - long time ago) and you would bring your own lunch bag every day made by my mother every morning, so it was fresh made 😅👍 (today I make my own lunch bag in the morning). In high school and university, I also had to bring my own lunch bags, but you had the opportunity to buy food, but most of it was good healthy food, e.g. rye bread with cold cuts / smørrebrød. Because I was used to get healthy food and fresh made, then I do the same thing today, so I believe that it is importance that you are learned from you childhood to get good healthy food every day. Today as a grown up, then I don’t eat much junk food - I prefer the rye bread. I have to learn it from you are a kid.
8.56 "paedagogical - I don't know the word in english..." cool comment :D
Look to Italy, they have great food in the schools, there is a comparison between countries on RUclips
I went to a small (socialist) school of about 150 students back in the 90s... going from 8th to 10th grade...
we cooked our own food... meaning we had different groups that took turns cooking for the whole school...
I’d say about teacher’s eating whit students depends on the person, while i was in School (Tradium) our teacher ate whit us in the beginning as a way to learn about her students. I prefer having such a teacher over someone we would think didn’t really care all that much but getting through their day.
For a brief period my school had a cafeteria where we could buy lunch. It was called "No junk" which was quite ironic when you look at the reason they had to close.
Firstly we could buy bagels with some type of meat and then we could fill it ourselves with salad from the salad bar, but apparently we over filled them. Imagine that, the problem was the pupils ate too much salad and vegetables.
Secondly, we didn't buy enough snack like cookies, sodas or sugary drinks. We mainly bought lunch and it wasn't enough for the firm to make ends meet. They literally had to close because we didn't buy enough junk. I guess they should have thought of a better name.
School lunches have existed for years in Sweden and Norway and Finland,
Hi from a Floridian in Odense (31 years abroad) small note, when looking at your co host, attempt to turn your head a bit less than a 90 degree head turn. Try 45 degrees and use your eyes to make up the difference. Notice how it looks when you do the 45 degree turn. You do it a lot, too, which us nice. It looks nice seeing a little bit of the face that is turned away from the camera.
The 90 degree turn looks 2 dimensional by comparison.
The English word IS pedagogy/pedagogical, it's just that nobody uses it 😉
I've seen pædagog translated to "someone with a degree in human development", I thought that was clever.
Where have you seen that translation?
Jeg har ikke set en folkeskole indefra i 50 år. Så vil virkelig gerne overvære en klassetime.
Er jeg alene med det ønske mon?
Let us thank Norway for introducing this concept!
What concept? School lunches? 😂 that’s old af, originating in Germany
Note: couldnt have tv too high, so missed out on like 40% of the video due to low af volume (thanks noise-sensitive gf)
When I was in folkeskole we had a service called EAT, I don't know if it still exist.
we did only have Schoolmilk in the lower classes .. and food from home. "Esbjerg"
dang i missed that Go´morgen DK :)
what you talk about with allergies. We have that in Denmark too, not so much for nuts but for flour and milk instead. to bake In the 80's and early 90's I went to a small school where the school cooked food for the students once a week and it wasn't very tasty
Badass!
I only have fond memories of eating our home packed lunches at school. Then we could trade with eachother like if I only wanted leverpostej madder and someoneelse would trade for my cheese or makrel mad 😂 Also getting a new cool box to put the lunch in and being exited to show your friends. And making paperballs from the soggy "mellemlægs papir" to throw at eachother 😂 But I do agree its better for schools to give kids a hot meal that they can enjoy together.
I had looked forward to seeing it, but it is behind a pay wall.
If you ask the Kids in Danish school from 1-9 class, they would all say the food was best in the US food.
I stopped eating lunch at school cause my classmates would complain that it was gross to see me take my braces of to eat
So sorry for you. 😢
Is it better to get food in scool then getting 10. Klasse?
Svendborg (80erne), der var ikke skole frokost her, vi fik en ordning med snacks, men mest det usunde, så vi ikke løb i netto.
So you have moved your channel to television! I do not have a TV and seeing TV2 on the net, is behind a paywall. Any chance you will move your channel to DR? 😄😉
... Remember.... nothing is free ;)
Personally I believe they should use the money on better working environment for the teachers,- better material, computers, books etc.
My reason for this is since 1980s and still to this day, you will see kids getting photocopies. Not having up to date facilities (playgrounds chairs toilets etc.)
And another personal view is I hope they reopen the speciel-needs school.
So the well-functioned kids don't have to be lab-rats on what I consider a saving-money-project (inklusions skolen).
I believe the Folkeskole do not hold neither the competence OR the manpower/hours to meet the needs of those kids and on the same time - make sure the rest gets adequate help/teaching. :)
...and in that way I don't think school food is for Denmark.
We got money enough to make sure kids is well fed :)))
I counted 173 'like'.
Danske unge bruger også det praktiske lille ord. ;)
"There's a new madordning in Danish schools". 🙂🥕🥑
Jeg har ikke adgang til TV2 (har ikke tv), så havde håbet at denne video ville vise osv. Men det ville nok ikke være lovligt.
Ville gerne høre Maya tale dansk.
20% of the schools? Where? 😂😂😂
Dad, did you lose weight - otherwise; where did you buy your shirt 🙄.
Maya seems more Danish than American 😉💪
Lots of love ❤

Providing nourishment has traditionally always been a job for the parents. And in doing so, it has kept a LOT of other issues at bay.
Once you have school lunches, you also have to have a meat-free alternative, a gluten-free alternative, a lactose-free alternative. Even a halal-alternative, in some cases. Because no matter what, someone WILL find a way to be offended and think they're being excluded if they aren't catered to. This is simply not a problem if the child brings food prepared from home. On top of that, it just creates another expenditure for the already extremely hard-pressed schools that are already cutting down on field trips and school supplies, and in many cases if school lunches become mandatory they'll have to save money by cutting one or two teacher jobs and make due with either underpaid substitutes or none at all. Because teachers in a school are, paradoxically, not mandatory.
It's financed outside the school budget as a test run. I would expect schools to complain loudly if they were to cover it. To the menu. There's a diverse population in Minnesota where they have a similar program and have found a way.
Yeah life is hard isn't it? Almost impossible to figure out.
Could she stop saying “yeah” all the time, even when others talk? Geez
