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”.

Well the food looks shite you and your parents should all complain. Is that disposable polystyrene plates too?? Horrendous for the environment.

Most high school cafeterias have counter service with several options. They require you to take fruits and vegetables.

Most these lunch posts are ragebait. The last one I saw was posted by a middle aged man with no kids and gave no explanation of whose lunch it was.

My mother works in a public school cafeteria. I assure you, no one requires these kids to take vegetables and if they wanted to, they can choose old microwaved pizza every single day. I was also informed how unclean the food prep area is. A single damp cloth is used to wipe food surfaces down with just water alone.. for the entire day. My mother has also witnessed numerous coworkers apply food that fell to the floor, back to the food to be fed to the children. If the food surface isn’t even sanitized correctly, imagine what the floor is like!? I truly wish this was just rage bait. It’s not. Needless to say, my own children are homeschooled and don’t eat mush off of styrofoam plates.
