Episode 025: No such thing as a free lunch...except in Finland

In Ireland, about 12% of schools receive a grant to provide a school lunch for its pupils in a scheme that has changed little since 1914. Recently the government started a pilot to provide hot meals to 36 schools (about 1%) 

In this episode I chart the history of free school lunches and see who is doing what around the world. No surprises that Finland gives free school lunches to everyone of course.
