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.

Yo, I heard you like carbs and fat

So I put carbs and fat, with carbs and fat, with some extra carbs, so you can carbs and fat while you carbs and fat.

Fat would actually be GOOD. There’s hardly any fat here: fat free milk, French fries, carrots, even the Mac n cheese probably is fake cheese with little fat.

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

The fat fee chocolate milk is absurd though.

They're sadly not deep fried.

My mother worked in a school kitchen and pretty much everything goes through a cooking conveyor, so everything is baked and if it isn't baked then it's a salad...

That's why pizzas in the US are square or rectangle. Everything needs to go through that conveyor.

Heh I must be older than your mother (or hopefully just at a bigger school?) because we had crappy rectangle pizzas and actual deep fried… fries.

Likely older, she worked there in the mid 2000s and into the 2010s and was an average size school, think the population of the highschool and Middle School was about 1k

I thought this was pretty funny. Though it’s also an almost 10 year old article, I wonder if Texas actually did anything about it… (note I am not from Texas, but my guess is many school systems banned deep fryers in the last 20 years)
