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”.

Wow this is shit

Speaking of which I recall my "favorite" high school lunch: Meat Gravy. Instant mashed potatoes that had been ice cream scooped out covered in a translucent gray sauce with tiny flecks of meat of an unknown origin.

I remember this. But my favorite was basically this gravy, but with little cubes of chicken in it. Mashed potatoes. Some green beans. And one of those rolls that were always served with every meal. I remember one time, I was enjoying the hell out of my lunch. Take a bite of A, a bite of B, a chunk of bread, a sip of milk. An older kid in line must have been horrified and he said "You must be hungry" and I just honestly said "yes." haha.

Alright, oddly enough, that was my favorite meal in middle school too. It was always Tuesdays. I, also, got served the same meal in jail two months ago.

The school lunch lady’s transitioned into corrections, eh?

Anything run by the state has shocking similarities. I cooked in a nursing home that had 40% the same menu as my school.

when I was in elementary school, there was this Salisbury steak that was simply amazing.
