Colette was in Osaka with the Global Child Nutrition Foundation, gathering information on school food and its links to public health.

Japan has one of the lowest rates of obesity in the rich world, an achievement that many observers see tied into government policy since the 1950s.

That's given priority to good quality school food, linked to education about food and its direct connections to health.

Colette Fox told me about her visit.

Then Colette showed me a piece of paper she's kept from her trip.

So how many of you were there from... There was a group of 400.

How many people were there from the UK?

Only me.

Back in Penritham, the lunchtime 50 minutes is coming to an end, and I managed to find Jenya, the year 10 pupil who'd spoken to me before she bought that all-day breakfast as her lunch.

So how was it?

But you're the one in that group who was most concerned about health and mental health, physical health, and you've just eaten an all-day breakfast.

Right now you could every single day, in a sense because there's so much choice, you could eat something really unhealthy, fatty, starchy every single day.

And I think the government's idea is to make that impossible so that your choice would be amongst an array of much healthier things, much less fatty things, much less starchy things.

Does that make sense to you as a pupil?

So will taking those choices away from school children drive them toward better food?

What would associate assistant head teacher Alison Katanak, who'd been showing us around,

That makes sense to you, does it?

Well, the consultation for the new school food standards is still open if you want to have your say.

It closes soon on June the 12th.
