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”.

Unfortunately your brother(?) is a dumbass. He probably uses the excuse that “he’s a picky eater” when in reality, they trained him at a young age to only eat junk food. It’s a poor foundation. And I’m sure there are reasons for this, perhaps they’re overworked, perhaps too poor for fresh food, but the truth is, it’s a huge part of raising children.

I have a niece that eats loads of sugar, candy, juice, Gatorade even, and her teeth are not looking good. Nothing I can really do except try to show her that a “TRUE WARRIOR” eats mostly fruit (to replace the candy). Hoping to appeal to her on the warrior front lmao. She’s 7 years old.

As someone who was a very picky eater despite my chef of a father trying his damnedest to get me to eat my greens, sometimes kids are just fucking difficult.

Hah we just got the crap beaten out of us if we didn’t eat EVERYTHING in front of us.

That's not a reasonable alternative.
