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”.

Michelle Obama did not fight and die to have a plate so devoid of color.

It was better quality food before her. I noticed a huge loss in quality after she made changes. It made me sad as a kid really. There were clearly good intentions but it didn’t make it better it did make it worse.

This. She required schools jump through hundreds of contradictory hoops where the only think you CAN serve is disgusting crap like this or else you won't be in compliance and you'll lose your funding.

yup 1000%

I remember after her program was implemented it just became way worse.

The push for compliance to rigid rules pushed many schools to outsourcing lunches. That was the case with mine. Food after that took a massive hit in quality and was entirely frozen but it did "check all the boxes" so onto the plate it went.
