In April, Scottish schoolgirl Martha “Veg” Payne set up the blog NeverSeconds to share photos and critiques of the meals served at her school. It’s been pretty much nonstop drama since then. Kids from all over the world who liked Martha’s pictures started sending her reports on their own food. She earned praise from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver — and the ire of school administrators, who briefly tried to shut down the blog on the grounds that her unsparing reviews were hurting the feelings of lunch ladies. Best of all, she’s raised over £100,000 (almost $200,000) to help feed needy kids.
