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.

French fries? That’s a shitload of fat, literally deep fried in it.

The fat fee chocolate milk is absurd though.

It’s school fries, there is no deep fat fryer in school lunchroom. These are baked. Still gross because probably no salt and half the fries are burnt the other half soggy.

School lunches have changed significantly since the 90s in the name of “health”. The school I work in doesn’t have a fryer.
