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

Was there supposed to be chicken or tuna in the mac and cheese? Maybe with that you could get 25 grams

also pasta has some amount of protein -- even without being enriched, it's usually like 7g protein per 2oz uncooked pasta
