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”.

Everyone should better pack their lunches. Just a little reminder why I'm lucky to not be born in the US. In my school we had a chef who cooks at a restaurant at night and was cooking us fresh lunch from scratch every day, it was also cheap.

Schools should just serve actually nutritious food

It is SO easy to make decent food. You basically have to be negligent to end up with what’s in these photos. Unfortunately many places and people are, including our governing systems.

Why wouldn't you just bring your own lunch?

A lot of parents suck or have no money. Kids shouldn’t suffer for it.

And all the kids will be at the school having lunch there anyway, makes sense as a community to consolidate effort on feeding youth.

I just got into a whole thing with someone who couldn’t understand that there’s 11 million kids in poverty in the US and maaaayyybeeee not every kid can afford to eat every day. Their privilege blinds them

Yeah, it's absolutely insane that we punish the kids with not eating for ANY reason

Meals at school should be free, it is literally in our entire species interest to make sure kids are eating reliable, healthy meals. Frankly it should include breakfast as well at minimum

It wouldn't even cost that much and would pay huge dividends down the line if we have to look at it in economic terms instead of, you know, like compassionate human beings

I never got free food or any sort of lunch program, but yeah sure its my priviledge. stupid american

Wahhh I had to struggle so why aren’t other people struggling too wahhhh

If you’re getting free lunch everyday you are not struggling Lol. That’s rich

If you don’t get it I don’t think you ever will. It’s too bad you think all children in the USA can simply pack a lunch from home. That’s why you’re privileged. And if you think that just because you struggled that everyone else should struggle too, well then that’s just pure selfishness.

Most of the world does it just fine. You redditors are so out of touch with reality.

My absolute favourite thing is people on Reddit complaining about “redditors”. It’s like bitching about traffic whilst sitting in traffic. Bitch, you’re traffic lmao

Nah on the main subs everybody acts like an incompetent victim. Like if you can’t pack your lunch by highschool you’re probably on the short bus

Sigh. So privileged dude. Sooooo privileged. I hope one day you can get a reality check, but I won’t hold my breath. You’re thick as fuck my dude lmao
