Longrider asks: "what’s the betting that the Children’s Food Trust is another interfering fake charity?"
From the website of The School Food Trust:
The Children’s Food Trust is a new community interest company working with the School Food Trust, the registered charity and specialist advisor to Government on school meals, children’s food and related skills. Both organisations share the vision that all children are able to have the balanced diet, cooking skills and food education that will help them reach their full potential...
Creating the Children’s Food Trust is the next step for our successful national charity, the School Food Trust. Established in 2005, the School Food Trust began work as a non-departmental public body for the then Department of Education and Skills (replaced by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and subsequently by the current Department for Education (DfE).
So the School Food Trust is a straight forward quango, but we have to be a bit careful about pre-judging the Children's Food Trust. Under New Labour most of these organisations were indeed government-funded fakecharities, but under the Tories, there has been a resurgence in industry lobbying bodies masquerading as fakecharities. At a guess, I would say that the Children's Food Trust is actually an industry lobbying body which has done a reverse takeover of a quango, but we'll see.

This is a really interesting spot. Thanks. I wonder if the staff are the same ones now as when it was a fake, fake charity?
If so, just goes to show that charity should never be funded due to its easy tendency to corruption and jobcreationism.
Charity and welfare should be given away for free.
