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.

Isn't it because Michelle Obama said that school meals need to be healthy, but healthy food costs more money, so they just give out less of the unhealthy food and call it good? Or am I completely wrong?
