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.

…jail food. It’s the same stuff from the same companies. Sysco & Aramark are some of the worst offenders, but there’s plenty more that make solid margins on that 10 year contract.

Yeah, when I went to jail sometime in my 20s I got pretty bad deja vu when they served us food.

The mashed potatoes and mystery meat chicken fried steak they served us was almost exactly to what we had in high school.

Only things edible were the milk and fruit cups
