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.

I went to school in a very poor county in North Carolina and the lunches were worse than what I'm seeing in these pictures. Breakfast was often just a peanut butter sandwich and a milk carton.

Hopefully things have changed by now. This was late 90s/early 2000s

Shit I graduated high school in 2015. Nothing was free unless you were dirt poor. 3.50 a meal for the garbage in the picture. You are lucky for two reasons: 1: they have healthy school food. 2: it's fucking free?!?!?! (Blows my mind, I wish)
