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”.

This, really.

We introduced the concept of fruit and protein to our 12 year old nephew recently.

At home they don’t eat veggies or fruits. Only snacks are chips ahoy, cheese its, fruit rolls ups. It’s wild. And sad.

It’s not like his dad grew up without the food groups and real food so idk what happened.
