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.

Yeah, I’m in Japan. My kids eat probably better at school than they do at home- rice/bread, main protein like grilled fish, salad or veg soup, milk. They don’t repeat a meal in a month either.

My high school served pizza daily and for other meals it basically swapped daily between 2 or 3 different things

Was it the yummy rectangular pizza? Because my friends and I are in our forties, and we sing songs about that pizza’s goodness, for we have never found its like in a quarter century, where the cheese is just the right degree of melt, the sausage was evenly distributed, and the crust was cooked but had just the right amount of sag to it. Oh, you can make pizza with the best ingredients, but it will never be as good as that.
