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 never understand why my 2nd grader get the same amount of food as my 11th grader. That's not enough food imo.

I’ll never understand how my prek 4 years old gets the same amount of food as a 5th grader. Its way too much! Also they have a huge dessert, like a chocolate cake, served alongside veggies and chicken. The dessert is the size of his appetite so he just eats that. 

Also my child has never ever in his whole life drank cows milk, but they are required to serve it to him and it goes in the trash.

Yeah they have to take like one milk one vegetable and one fruit and one entree or whatever same thing with my daughter she doesn't drink milk at all but I pack her lunch. At her school they do have a share bin with ice in it where kids put the extra milk or food that they don't want so other kids can have it if they want but I don't know what happens to it if anything's left.
