BRING
BACK
SALT! 🧂
Our chips are crying. Our wedges are sad. It's time to tell staff & management: we want our SALT back.
It's not the salt you add – it's the salt already in your food!
Flavour
Plain chips? Tragic.
Energy
Salt = electrolytes for PE.
Morale
Lunchtime should taste like lunch.

Even Jamie Oliver agrees!
"75% of the salt we eat comes from processed foods, not from the salt we add to food ourselves."
— Jamie Oliver
So a wee shake on our chips at lunchtime really isn't the villain here. Letting pupils season their own food responsibly is a small ask — and it makes a big difference to how much we actually enjoy (and finish) our meals.
Dear Staff & Management,
We, the pupils of Ballycastle High School, respectfully request the return of salt to our canteen. We understand the health considerations, but a small shaker on each table would let us flavour our food responsibly — and bring some joy back to lunchtime.
We also believe that educating pupils about salt — where it hides, how much is already in processed foods, and how to season sensibly — is far more valuable than simply banning it. Prohibition teaches us nothing; understanding gives us a skill for life. Trust us with the knowledge, and we'll make better choices long after the school bell rings.
Sincerely, the undersigned. 🧂✊
