NeverSeconds school dinner blogger Martha Payne 'banned' from taking photos of her meals Her blog may have received celebrity endorsements and notched up over two million views but nine-year-old Martha Payne, author of the NeverSeconds blog about school dinners, announced yesterday that she may have to abandon the blog after being told she could not take photographs of her school meals. Martha Payne started blogging about her school dinners, including pictures of her meals, six weeks ago and her blog has since had international attention. NeverSeconds features a 'food-o-meter' rating out of ten for each of her meals from the canteen at a school in Lochgilphead, Argyll. It also includes a health rating and details about how many mouthfuls it took for her to eat the meal. The blog was so successful it drew the attention of television chef and food campaigner Jamie Oliver, who tweeted, Shocking but inspirational blog. Keep going. Big love from Jamie x. In response to her posting yesterday, in which Martha claimed she had been told she could not take pictures of her meals Oliver today wrote on Twitter, Stay strong Martha, RT this to show your support #neverseconds. Jx," and added a link to her blog . The nine-year-old has also been using the blog to raise money for Mary's Meals, a charity which runs projects around the world in areas where poverty prevents children from getting an education. The blog had, as of this morning, raised over £10,000 for the charity. NeverSeconds had also begun to feature pictures of school dinners from around the world. Among the postings on the blog was one that featured her lunch of a croquette, sweetcorn, a pizza slice and a cupcake. Martha wrote about the meal, I'm a growing kid and I need to concentrate all afternoon and I can't do it on one croquette. Do any of you think you could? In a post entitled 'Goodbye' on NeverSeconds yesterday, Martha Payne wrote, This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my headteacher and taken to her office. I was told that I could not take any more photos of my school dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today. I only write my blog, not newspapers, and I am sad I am no longer allowed to take photos. I will miss sharing and rating my school dinners and I'll miss seeing the dinners you send me too. I don't think I will be able to finish raising enough money for a kitchen for Mary's Meals either. Later on the blog Martha's father added to her comments writing, I felt it's important to add a few bits of info to the blog tonight. Martha's school have been brilliant and supportive from the beginning and I'd like to thank them all. I contacted Argyll and Bute Council when Martha told me what happened at school today and they told me it was their decision to ban Martha's photography. It is a shame that a blog that today went through two million hits, which has inspired debates at home and abroad and raised nearly £2,000 (now over £3,000) for charity, is forced to end. Argyll and Bute Council responded to the claims in a statement this morning saying that the attacks on the school's catering had led to national press headlines that, "have led catering staff to fear for their jobs." The council said the decision to stop the photographs of school meals being taken was made because, "the photographic images uploaded appear to only represent a fraction of the choices available to pupils." The statement continues, "The council has had no complaints for the last two years about the quality of school meals other than one from the Payne family received on 6 June and there have been no changes to the service on offer since the introduction of the blog."
