Cullohill's Darina Allen feels that the food quality at present could lead to future illnesses.
A celebrity chef from Laois believes the hot school meals programme is not fit for purpose.
Founder of Ballymaloe Cookery School, Cullohill's Darina Allen believes the state of the food being served could create diet related illness in the future.
Charity organisations like Barnardos and Saint Vincent De Paul say the programme improves the nutrition intake for many children because they're getting meals they otherwise wouldn't.
Ms Allen says children need to have a healthy relationship with food:
