Sam Walker, 41, whose 11-year-old son John attends the school, has accused the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver of interfering with traditional menus.  She said: "I just don't like him and what he stands for. He is forcing our kids to become more picky about their food. Who does he think he is? He can feed whatever he wants to his kids but he should realise that other parents think differently."  Julie Critchlow, 43, started taking the food for her children Rachel, 15, and Steven, 11, and two friends before others asked to be included. There are now four mothers delivering between 50 and 60 meals a day, with orders taken during the mid-morning break.  Mrs Critchlow said: "The reason we have done this is because our kids are being served up disgusting, overpriced rubbish by the school and are not allowed out at lunchtimes to buy something they can enjoy.  "Food is cheaper and better at the local takeaways. We don't make a penny on it. We just want to make sure the kids are properly fed. They don't enjoy the school food and the end result is that they are starving."  Schools have been told to serve healthier menus including at least two servings of fruit and vegetables per day, and no more than two portions of deep-fried food each week.  Mrs Critchlow said: "My kids eat a balanced diet at home. I prepare a meal every night and we eat meat, fish, jacket potatoes, vegetables and salad.  "I don't know what my kids weigh but it's not always down to what they eat, it's as much to do with their genes."  John Lambert, head teacher of the 1,100-pupil school, said: "I'm stunned. What these two women are doing is unbelievable. They are encouraging children whose parents give them money for a healthy, nutritious meal to spend it elsewhere.  "It is undermining something this school believes in wholeheartedly. The food these parents are handing out is not part of that healthy diet. We are determined to take a strong line over this."  A spokesman for Oliver, who is in Australia, said: "If these mums want to effectively shorten the lives of their kids and others' kids, then that's down to them.  "If parents are struggling to afford a school meal, then they should make the effort to construct a proper lunchbox with fruit and veg, dairy, bread, and protein — which can be done for under £1.20 — instead of taking the lazy option."
A group of mothers has started delivering fast food through a school's fence in protest at the campaign for healthier school meals.
