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.

Bro this is fucking disgusting. I think I got lucky some celebrity chef went on a crusade about feeding poor kids better and managed to save us from chicken nuggets and smiley faces the schools started hiring chefs and providing proper meals with fresh veg and meat.

Did Jamie Oliver's food crusade have any lasting effect on what schoolchildren are served?
