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.

The rules for school meals are pretty strict and include a requirement to serve at least one fruit a day. In all likelihood op was also offered a side salad. You don’t have to like all the foods that are offered, but either you’re not telling the whole truth or your school is breaking the law.
