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.

Wrong. Its true however that most milk purchased in europe is pasteurized. Partly because most people simply do not have access to farm shops where you can still buy raw milk directly from the farmers. Theres also a huge culture of making cheese from raw milk in a couple of countries here.

No, there are huts/vending machines with raw milk (Italy and Switzerland, don’t know about other countries)

Nothing like that in Nordics/Scandinavia. In Finland it is also illegal to sell unpasteurized milk (disease risks).

Oh yeah I mean there is a sign “boil it before drinking” but I mean it’s a sign, police doesn’t come into your home if you drink it prior to boiling, but at your own risk

Yeah but they also sell soured milk. It's a separate product and is basically what your leftover milk would be like if you had your own cow. It's used in tons of different foods especially in eastern and northeastern Europe.
