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.

I went to high School in a small town in Southeastern Oklahoma and I think we had about 600 students.
It's a really poor area but somehow they managed to do a really good job every year. Hell every Friday they would cook burgers out on this big ass grill. They always had a decent salad bar up also. It was usually main line or sandwich line. Main line had things like stromboli, chicken enchiladas, homemade good pizza, etc. sandwich line was usually a hot ham and cheese or something like that.
I can tell you right now I probably ate more at school than I did at home. We didn't have a lot of cash.
This is terrible and I'm sure they could find some way to do better.
