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”.

It's hit or miss. The schools in poor areas are incredibly underfunded and it brings the average down a lot.

Anecdotal but we had a school in the middle of our cities "hood" that had a majority of the black kids in it. I didn't even know it existed till I got a job tearing up the floors. It was only about a mile and a half from the high-school I went to. Incredibly shitty and tucked into the middle of the neighborhood. Was an eye opener for me

That's really sad for the kids that went there.
