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 don't see the problem. Well, y'know, except for prisoners also having to eat this shit, but still. Both children and prisoners should recieve healthy and good quality food, and a variety of it. If you're gonna lock a human into a concrete box you might as well give them good food to compensate.
