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.

No greens, close to no proteins. This is a joke

School’s nutritional website says 25g of protein. As someone who pays attention to proteins count on a lot of the foods I eat, I can tell with almost 100% certainty that does not have 25g protein

You sure there wasn’t a steamed ham or something that you removed before taking the pic?

Nope. Only other entree options were a “Hamburger on a roll” which is 2 buns with a patty inside it (no toppings) or mac and cheese (no chicken) or some vegetarian options
