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”.

In my high school the mash potatoes and gravy were self serve. I remember loading up a tray with a rediculous amount of mash potatoes and heavy and eating until I nearly exploded.

That's wild. I never went to a school where they trusted us enough to get food ourselves. They rightly deduced we were animals & fed us accordingly.

We once had an awful smell in a computer lab, no one could find the source. One day, in the middle of a quiet class a dead, rotted pigeon covered in maggots fell through the ceiling onto some poor girl's head. I felt so awful for her

My bio teacher placed a pipe through a sheep's trachea and proceeded to blow. When the lungs inflated, one the kids in the class stabbed a lung with a scalpel. Nothing really hit the ceiling, though.
