The amount was chosen to allow the company to suffer small loss of Eton lunches and make up for it elsewhere - a packed sandwich with beluga caviar ain’t cheap these days!

Providing packed meals has lead to easy opportunities to make a quick buck whether by the school or the caterer. In some cases early on, probably due to logistical challenges - remember shielding people being sent the most random boxes of food?

The food was frequently rotten, too much of something e.g. carrots and poor quality.

And for some of us pretty fecking dangerous. I started dialysis Just as LD1 started and was initially told to shield. Used the shielding service once. I was on a very restrictive diet, very low potassium, salt and phosphorous. Told them on a kidney diet. Sent me orange juice, bananas, cheap ham, sausages (packed with salt &phosphorous as an additive), tomatoes etc. If I'd ate the box it would have probably killed me, potassium only has to be a little bit high and goodnight Vienna (that's why they use it to stop the heart on death row!!); Decided less risky to buy my own food. Then went down to cat 2, weirdly have a transplant and back to cAT 1 cev.

We forget just how rushed it all was in L1and how little logistics there was in place... I picture someone just putting anything they could find in boxes.

You got bananas!

I just got apples and loads of fecking carrots. Why would one person want 2KG of carrots 3 weeks in a row? Managed to get help to get them given to some OAPs.

I've now been downgraded thank feck.

Carrots are pretty versatile if you are in a real emergency situation and at least they store well!
