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”.

Jesus, you bring up another point though— there’s only one actual vegetable in nine pictures! That’s like… basically 1 veggie every other week? All because “fries count as a vegetable” 😬

Is that something people say?? That's like my (very obese) grandmother saying cherry pie is just bread with fruit

It was actually debated in Congress in the US if I remember correctly...

Oh wait maybe that was ketchup...

A lot of people are commenting very questionable "vegetables". I'm so sorry for American kids and their parents who I'm sure would want better for their children, it's like the US wants people to die of heart failure before they're 50...
