Hard to do everything.

Fitting in a meal with all the various clubs the girls were committed to.

A pressure I could see not only in the many queues in the dining rooms and outside the grab-and-go cabin...

but also in the dish-out-as-fast-as-you-can service from the catering staff as they tried to make lunchtime work as efficiently as they could.

But before we head into the dining room to pick up our own lunch, it's worth spelling out the new standards.

Deep-fried foods are off the menu.

Sugary puddings, just once a week.

Grab-and-go options like pizza, sausage rolls and processed meat will also be limited.

So children won't be able to have them every day.

Primary schools will only be allowed to provide milk or water to drink.

At secondary schools, they can also top up on some zero sugar-flavoured waters.

There'll be much more veg, fruit, whole-grain pasta and rice and beans and pulses.

All meals will have to be served with vegetables or salad, including the grab-and-go.

There's a lot more in the details, which run to over 16 pages.

If approved, the changes will be enforceable in primary schools from September 2027 and in secondary schools the following year.

Someone who's had a big role in shaping the new standards is Anna Taylor, executive director at the independent think tank charity The Food Foundation.

I asked her what she thinks will feel like the biggest change.

The consultation closes on June 12th.

Some of the planned changes seem complex, like the restrictions on the use of cheese as a main ingredient.

That can't be used more than once a week.
