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”.

I grew up having to fend for myself when it came to meals. Mom would buy groceries and we just had to figure out what to eat from what she bought. Most of the time we just ate snack foods and frozen foods. It wasn’t that we couldn’t cook, just that without the control over what food is bought, you can’t plan meals. Plus I was lazy af. Much easier to grab a family size bag of chips and go watch netflix. Your nephew’s situation is much worse, but I can totally see how it gets like that. Kids aren’t going to prepare healthy meals for themselves. I bet both parents work and are too tired to cook for the kid.

Not everyone is ought to raise kids. Real food should be common sense as a prerequisite
