The Power of Blogging: Martha Payne’s School Dinner Blog
If you have been on any news or social media sites today then you will most likely be aware of the story of Martha Payne and her blog NeverSeconds. Martha is a 9 year old girl who set up a blog that details her school lunch each day, ranking the food on such factors as mouthfuls taken to eat, health rating and a rather unpleasant count of the number of hairs found in a dish. To let everyone see for themselves, Martha also took a picture of the day’s lunch. The blog has proven quite the success with more than two million hits in the space of a few weeks. As well as blogging Martha has been helping to raise money for the charity Mary’s Meals who supply “one daily meal in a place of learning” in some of the world’s poorest communities.
