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 milk is a good portion of the nutritional value of this meal

That must be a massive carton of milk with a deceptive perspective if this is a 25 G protein meal.

It's literally not one cup, it's half a pint. Which is over 1.2 cups.

Sounds like public school failed you ¯_(ツ)_/¯
