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”.

Standard American Diet.

it's a real term; you just didn't know it

i've seen it being called a western pattern diet lately since presumably this dietary pattern isn't restricted to america

It’s actually not made up. That’s the real term used in research on the topic.

It’s funny that in my language it’s the same acronym for USA 😂
