Never Seconds


Hi! And thanks for stopping by!

It is already November and the year 2014 is almost over! Time flies by so fast...
Anyways, today I would like to introduce another amazing food blog called “Never Seconds”. But this time, it is written by a little girl! Her name is Martha Payne and lives in Scotland.

In the first place, she started her blog to tell her negative opinions and complaints about eating school meals at her elementary school. However, this blog were in national news headlines and became a big issue. Her school bans her to post some photos of her school meals on her blogs and, she had to shut down her blog. However, because of the many supports from all over the world, she continues to write her food blog and, she even gets school meal pictures from other countries, including Japan! She tries to share them in her blog so that many people from all over the world could read it.
Those pictures reminded me the lunches I had in elementary school. I didn't like the way they forced us to eat them all but I thought those lunches were somewhat healthy and well balanced.  About the dining in my school I go right now, I think they are doing okay on serving the meal. I can see that they are trying to serve different kinds of meal so that the students could enjoy eating their lunch. However I think the cafeteria is too crowded everyday and every student cannot sit down and eat. So in my opinion, they should make it bigger. 


Right now, she is also doing a charity called “Mary’s Meal” to help the children who are having trouble getting food every day because of the poverty. She says that this fundraising is feeding many children and helping their lives a lot. She continues to try to have some more supports from all over the world.

I remember that this was broadcasting on a Japanese TV program and thought it was amazing. I didn’t know that a very young girl could also change and help other people lives and influence many other people in the world. Although she started her blog with her tiny personal reason, this could become a big issue and help change other people’s lives. I am very glad that I could know this is happening and I would also like to join and support her program sometime soon and do some donations…

Thanks for reading! 
See you guys later!

  1. This is a very thoughtful blog entry. Some other students mentioned the same shortcomings of our cafeteria as you did.
