We will remind that at the meeting of the city commission, the deputy of the Mykolaiv City Council Dmytro Sichko said that many children in the city refuse to eat dishes prepared according to the new menu developed by Yevhen Klopotenko. According to him, children do not eat meals because they do not contain enough salt, sugar and butter, which makes the food tasteless.
After that, Mykolaiv City Council Deputy Tetiana Dombrovska from the «Servant of the People» party reacted to her colleague's statement. In the comment of NikVesti, she stated that she would like to personally check the quality of food in school canteens in Mykolaiv.
