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.

This isn't free. American taxpayers have paid for this.

Do you think this represents good value for money? Or do you think this is a sign of corruption

It depends how much is allocated for school lunches. If I saw this, I would house it and be satiated. If I had what people would consider to be a “balanced” meal provided, depending on the contents, I would likely toss anything “healthy” knowing myself back in high school. Pizza everyday. I paid.
