(CNA Reporter Wang Chao-yu, Keelung, 22nd) Keelung City Council Speaker Tung Tzu-wei visited schools on the 15th and 20th to inspect school lunches, and today went to Ming De Junior High School to understand the lunch menu. Tung Tzu-wei stated that he gained much from this trip, that the students' growth is something he has long cared about, and that he will continue to promote child and youth welfare.
Tung Tzu-wei said through a press release that in order to grasp firsthand opinions and suggestions, he specially made a spot check at the school today to hear true voices. Ming De Junior High uses two catering companies taking turns to provide meals, which not only promotes healthy competition but also increases the variety of the students' meals.
Tung Tzu-wei pointed out that the school provided four dishes today. Initially, he worried the food quantity would be insufficient, but the school explained that an extra 30 to 40 portions are prepared daily to ensure growing students have ample food. He also received many suggestions after interacting with students and will take these opinions back as a reference for future reviews and improvements.
Tung Tzu-wei noted that during this trip, he coincidently met the president and members of the Parents' Association who were at the school discussing matters. He took the opportunity to ask for their opinions. The Parents' Association expressed that food safety is their top priority, and regarding ingredient selection, they hope to use whole foods as much as possible and avoid deep-frying. This shows the parents' dedication to the students' health.
Tung Tzu-wei previously visited Dingnei Elementary School and Ren'ai Elementary School on the 15th and 20th respectively to understand the lunch menus and dine with the students. Because Tung Tzu-wei is also the Democratic Progressive Party's candidate for Keelung Mayor, the city government and the Kuomintang's Keelung City branch believe that Tung has repeatedly violated administrative neutrality on campuses and urged him to stop such actions immediately. The DPP Keelung City branch stated that it is reasonable, justifiable, and within the scope of duty for the council speaker to visit educational sites to understand the status of student lunches.
