The Party Service Bund Deutschland eV describes the situation of daycare and school catering in Germany as "very dramatic". According to the industry and professional association, politicians should now act.

In addition, the Party Service Bund Deutschland eV considers targeted financial support programs to be appropriate and sensible.
Wolfgang Finken points out: "The importance of good food for young people in schools must not be underestimated." There are clear connections here with lower concentration and poorer school performance, but also a connection to violence and aggression.
The Party Service Bund Deutschland eV reminds that the federal government expressly emphasizes the healthy nutrition of children and young people in its coalition agreement. Finken: "That must not be cheap lip service."
