...says Sigrid Beer, a mother of three kids at the school and a nutrition researcher. "We decided that we needed something more healthy." The parents now run their own independent cafeteria with eight employees. It regularly feeds 300 children - up from 70 a little over a decade ago. In Britain, where school lunches can be an awful reminder of the country's fat- and starch-filled culinary past, celebrity chef Oliver's campaign to improve school food standards bore fruit in March when the government announced an extra $533 million to tackle the crisis. The extra money will be spent...
...least 500 people after an uprising in Andijan two weeks ago, Karimov is under fire from a source that's more difficult to suppress: the international community.

The surgeon claimed to have operated on dozens of MND patients, Dickie notes, "but only presented sketchy information on eight." Anecdotal reports from patients returning from China, meanwhile, speak of seemingly impressive improvements.
