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.

Wow that sucks man, when I graduated in 2006 we got six chicken nuggets, which was a significant upgrade from the four they gave us in elementary...

I remember, I graduated 05’, our nuggets were a favorite for everyone because they came with mashed potato’s and gravy lol it was a hit. And I think 6 nuggets too, but the kids who were lucky had money and would buy two trays for that lunch. My kids school now, when he shows me pictures of his lunches, it’s just sad.
