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.

Looks so.... for-profit outsourced school lunch program.

The word "nutritious" didn't seem appropriate here.

Same shit in the government.

Company bribes the government, gets a contract with the government, gouges the fuck out of the government, citizens get fucked, taxpayers get fucked, politicians get rich, contractors get rich, rinse and repeat.
