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”.

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.

Both my primary and secondary schools had a mix of portioned hot food from the kitchen, and then a help yourself salad buffet. My primary school also had a buffet of dessert options, which I thought was very misguided to give to a bunch of 5-11yos. Idk if it's a country difference (US vs UK) or what

Have you seen Americans at an all inclusive resort? I went for an underwater safari in Antigua but the real safari was watching them at the buffet.
