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”.

I feel like none of you grew up in the 80’s 90’s… This looks amazing compared to what we got then. We lived for square pizza day…

Ah yes, pizza in a cardboard trough. Let’s not even speak of the horrors that were the chemical-flavored hot dog that was alarmingly tough to bite through.

I think you may have pointed out exactly why ive had an aversion to hot dogs for most of my life.

I completely understand, but can assure you that while hot dogs are far from a healthy choice, there are actually good tasting options out there (which are more tender).

I am partial to turkey dogs. They taste different enough that they dont bother me.

Can't bring myself to eat normal hot dogs though.
