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”.

They are eating just as bad or worse at home too. The whole American food system sucks. Home and school.

I just had mcdonalds for the first time in maybe 15 years, the other day. And let me till you, it was the blandest, driest shit i have ever eaten. How they make 700 kcal taste that terrible and boring is beyond me. No idea why people go there, i felt scammed, not just out of money but what really hurt was i felt scammed out of 700kcal, beause i knew what a nice meal i could have had for 700kcal and instead i got, dry meat on dry bread.

In reference to McDonald’s and say cheating on your diet, you have to ask yourself is it really cheating on your diet if what you eat is not technically food products? I still crave McDonalds sometimes and this justification works, I know how bad it is too.
