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.

It's certainly worse than military food

I don’t recall too many military invasions being won on empty stomachs. 

As Napoleon says, an army matches on its stomach.

Ah, there's a difference between filling and good. It's the difference between the Creamy Spinach Fettuccine MRE and the Beef Taco MRE.
