People have rushed to defend a headteacher who revealed she was spat at, threatened and branded a 'food Nazi' for trying to introduce healthier school meals. Julie Copley said she faced huge challenges from parents when she started her bid to introduce more fruit and veg, soups, and casseroles to the primary school's menus.
She said: "I've been called a 'food Nazi', I've been spat at, I've been threatened, my family and staff have been threatened." Despite this, the school has since won an award for its efforts to improve food nutrition at the school.
The shocking abuse the headteacher suffered was revealed at the launch of Walsall director of public health Stephen Gunther's annual report 'Feeding Our Future' at Goscote Greenacres Community Garden. But her determination and hard work paid off after Radleys Primary School became Walsall's first to achieve the silver award in the Food For Life initiative, BirminghamLive reports.
