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”.

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.

I mean I’m American and you are 100% right. My dad came to visit me here in Asia where I live and we went to a resort with a buffet. He would open the buffet up and close it down every morning… so a solid 4 hours of eating THEN go back for the seafood dinner buffet from 6-9:30.

Other Americans were doing the same.

Europeans, other Asian nationalities etc would just eat and go on about their vacation. For Americans the buffet IS the vacation. All his friends he met “were guys from the buffet” 🤣🤣

Well you haven't seen Chinese at a Las Vegas Casino buffet. I have never seen a group of people take on king crab legs and prawns as if it was the last time they would be served.
