"A highly-successful blog by a 9-year-old schoolgirl has been banned by a local council. Martha Payne&amp;#039;s blog NeverSeconds charts her school dinners each week, and has reached over 2 million hits worldwide and raised thousands of pounds for charity. She had received praise for her campaign for a more healthy food choice at schools, with Jamie Oliver describing her as a &amp;quot;clever girl&amp;quot;. However, despite support from her school itself, the Argyll and Bute Council have decided to ban the seven-week-old blog due to negative publicity.  Celebrity chef Nick Nairn slammed the &amp;quot;incredibly short-sighted&amp;quot; decision, while it has been met with uproar among the blog&amp;#039;s fans online, and has become a trending topic on Twitter this morning (June 15). Payne wrote on her latest post, named &amp;#039;Goodbye&amp;#039;: &amp;quot;This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my head teacher and taken to her office. &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I will miss sharing and rating my school dinners and I&amp;#039;ll miss seeing the dinners you send me too. I don&amp;#039;t think I will be able to finish raising enough money for a kitchen for Mary&amp;#039;s Meals either.&amp;quot;  Payne&amp;#039;s father stated that her school - which he has so far declined to name - has always been supportive of the blog. &amp;quot;Martha&amp;#039;s school have been brilliant and supportive from the beginning and I&amp;#039;d like to thank them all. &amp;quot;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&amp;#039;s photography. &amp;quot;It is a shame that a blog that today went through 2 million hits, which has inspired debates at home and abroad and raised nearly \u00A32,000 for charity, is forced to end.&amp;quot; The school&amp;#039;s teachers allowed Martha Payne to take photos of her \u00A32 lunches, in order to post them on her blog under her &amp;#039;Food-o-meter&amp;#039;. Jamie Oliver had said of the blog: &amp;quot;Shocking but inspirational blog. Keep going. Big love from Jamie x&amp;quot; A spokesperson for the council has yet to release a full statement regarding the ban. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
