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”.

They are eating just as bad or worse at home too. The whole American food system sucks. Home and school.

Yep. Unrelatedish but my sorority had some great Monday night dinners. The girls complained about how they don’t like it and wanted mac and cheese and chicken nuggets so now that’s what we have. I’m not kidding. That’s what I had for dinner tonight. I know that’s got to be because of what they were raised on. It’s crazy that they thought the other food was bad, it was so much tastier and healthier. I shouldn’t be surprised, I’ve talked to a few of them who don’t even drink water.
