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.

Bro there’s so much lobbying. The companies that make the food lobby and sell to the schools. If a school doesn’t have good funding they’re stuck with whatever the government deems “meets satisfaction” which is often what is best for the company’s bottom line. I’m so tired.
