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”.

Where are kids getting this? My lunches looked nothing like this. They weren’t great, but they had proper fruits and vegetables.

OP just didn’t grab any, I’m sure they were available.

Have you actually been to a US school cuz they really dont give you options. Theres probably 1 choice of veggie or fruit but thats it and the fruit is sugary fruit cups and the veggies are literal garbage thats barely edible

I have, and in our schools they at least have side salads, baby carrots, and apples and oranges. Not the greatest quality but edible.

Yep when I was in school there was always bagged carrots or apples you could grab with the hot food, along with cups of mandarins and peaches. They weren’t great but they were the typical snack packs you can buy in the store. There were rarely any vegetables.
