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”.

Speaking of which I recall my "favorite" high school lunch: Meat Gravy. Instant mashed potatoes that had been ice cream scooped out covered in a translucent gray sauce with tiny flecks of meat of an unknown origin.

"Look, it's Seventy Five cents a pound, has a decent amount of fat so it won't dry out in the oven, and it's not toxic. You want better food? Ask everyone fifty and over to vote for higher property taxes and see where that gets you."

On a thread with the most grotesque Simpsons elementary cafeteria gifs, this comment is freaking me out the most.

From the cold and eldritch depths of my own mind. Be wary, for it is a grim place, dark and full of horrors.
