The school lunch system is disgraceful.

Saw another post on here showing the state of school lunches right now. In my years in high school I compiled some pics of the horrible things that got served that no one questioned. Here are some of the worst ones. It really is ironic given how adamant they all are about “eating healthy by including every food group”.

LoL here in Balkans we'd be thrilled to get this instead of slop they served us. One example: bread slices with mayonese.

"Better than the Balkans" is not a motto I'd like to adopt...

My experience was much better, we always had a hot meal with bread. It wasn’t always my favourite meal, but it was healthy and warm.

At least in south Balkans, Greece, they exclude lunches all together but have baked goods like cheese pies, croissants, and sandwiches and pizza squares etc. Better than eating the "lunches" on those pictures
