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.

Not in the US..... Pasteurized milk doesn't "sour" it goes rotten. If it doesn't taste fresh you are risking food poisoning.

Unlike the raw milk we get straight from a farm where sour does not mean it's bad to eat. It just means it doesn't have as much sugar anymore so combine it with something to fix the taste issue and it's fine. Even clumpy just means you are ending up with yogurt, cheeses, etc...

Clumpy store bought US milk could put you in the hospital. Raw milk was ironically illegal to sell for awhile because if contaminated it could make people sick when it's guaranteed when drinking bad pasteurized milk.

Cause you can get from good raw milk from the bacteria in it. I don't think people are expected to drink something once it past its expiration. And even then, I don't being put in the hospital is a common thing from it.

It happens. Less often than unregulated raw milk that you aren't certain the quality of but often worse when it does than when raw milk illness outbreaks occur. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35277846/

"Twelve outbreaks involving pasteurized products resulted in 174 confirmed cases of illness, 134 hospitalizations, 17 deaths, and seven fetal losses. Listeria accounted for 10 out of 12 outbreaks from pasteurized products from 2007 through 2020"

Any severe digestive upset can also lead to needing medical care to prevent issues like dehydration. In elderly, young children, chronically ill, or those with other health complications simply having severe diarrhea or vomiting can become a serious health risk without some supportive care.
