Although 90 per cent of Australian school students carry lunch provisions, most of those provisions have poor nutritional value, according to recent research.
Worse, this year more students did not bring lunch provisions at all, and some did not have time for breakfast either.
Free meals are provided by Eat Up - a non-profit agency headquartered in Melbourne.
It is run by Lyndon Galea ((G'lee-ah)) who started making lunch provisions for hungry students in 2013, in his hometown of Shepparton.
