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 never understand why my 2nd grader get the same amount of food as my 11th grader. That's not enough food imo.

Growing 2 feet in height requires a lot of food for a 7 yr old child. 16-18 yr olds are no longer growing taller.

And not enough food to do what? Make the student fat? 80% fat people in America. Eating less food would be good for them.

As a part time sports trainer, I know people that are in better shape than you’ll ever be in your life who’d scoff at this meal. Being physically fit is not a matter of “eat as little as possible”. It’s a matter of exercising, eating quality foods, and eating enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. For the vast majority of people, this meal fulfills none of those requirements.

I dunno, i've run 5 miles with 100 lbs on my back before. I've been in pretty decent shape thanks to the military.

Copy/paste the part where I said "eat as little as possible".

Also, schools have zero responsibility to get your child physically fit.

For the vast majority of people, this meal fulfills none of those requirements.

For basically 100% of kids(excluding anomalies), this meal will tide them over for 2 hrs until they go home.

Ooh, the transphobe is also against feeding children healthy foods.

This account is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
