Marianne,
I read your account of the HS exam and the artifical baby milk question and 
first off thanked my lucky stars that I am homeschooling my kids! That doesn't 
help others' situation though. I would fire off a letter to the editor of the local 
newspaper expressing outrage, and demand a public accounting from the 
school system (assuming schools work the same way there that they do in the 
US). Here in the US there is great controversy over the fact that childhood 
obesity rates are rising and the schools' cafeterias are nothing more than food 
courts offering fast food franchise meal options and sugary carbonated drinks. 
Corporate sponsorship is big money, whether it is in the cafeteria or a name 
on the school's new auditorium or football stadium. Many people are just 
happy that their taxes haven't gone up--they don't realize until its too late 
where the money comes from to fund programs. Raising awareness is the first 
step to battling this encroachment. Good luck to you!
