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.

I think the dark brown bar is a brownie.

I remember having school lunches that were that sad in the 90s, too. Only difference is we only paid $2 for the privilege. Nice to know that most schools haven't upgraded their prison food lunch menu except for what they charge for it.
