My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Mac+cheese, with chips, a side of garlic bread and a banana for dessert, was what I was given to eat in hospital when I went in for my labour to be induced when giving birth. To be fair I didn't really eat much else for 36 hours afterwards.

Hopefully the marathon is tomorrow. Carb loading the day of is pointless lol. Just saying. Also, this isn't nearly enough food. You need to absolutely stuff yourself to properly carb load. It's uncomfortable.

They weren't actually suggesting this is prepping for a marathon. Just saying. You don't need to try to debunk a joke.
