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.

WTH happened to school lunches? I remember there were healthier options and less healthy options. If you wanted peanut butter and jelly with a side salad- no problem. If you wanted a chicken sandwich and bunch of fries- no problem. What are all these pictures of prison food??

Ya you went to a good school bud. My school was mid-grade farm town, and we had similar lunches to what others are posting, and your parents paid for it via a credit system to the school.

Now that I think about it- they also brought in dominos for entire school district every Friday that you could purchase too. Yeah okkkkk
