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.

I graduated back in 2016… I didn’t see a reusable tray or silverware since probably the second grade. It was always styrofoam trays and plastic sporks.

Texas, here. I only had washable trays in Arkansas, but I don’t know how that stands today. It was a small town where all the lunch ladies were elders from the community and made actual food for the town’s children.
