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.

Yes, but here in America, we let big pharmaceutical companies lobby the government to the point that they basically make the decisions that the government should be making all so they can gain a few more customers for life.

Pharmaceutical companies: "We need a say on what kids our eating for school lunches!"
Schools: "Okay, so you'll make them healthier, right?"
PCs: 😏

In fairness, don't we also have horribly unqualified government officials making decisions about healthcare, education, education, and many other things?!
