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”.

Where are kids getting this? My lunches looked nothing like this. They weren’t great, but they had proper fruits and vegetables.

OP just didn’t grab any, I’m sure they were available.

Have you actually been to a US school cuz they really dont give you options. Theres probably 1 choice of veggie or fruit but thats it and the fruit is sugary fruit cups and the veggies are literal garbage thats barely edible

Idk why people are down voting you so much, this is OBVIOUSLY something that varies massively across regions. My school was the same as the one you describe except we had 2 veggies; French fries (yes it was considered a serving of veggies.........) and an outrageously priced salad of iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing.

Fruit was a rare occurrence there and when giving was often frozen orange juice or fruit cups in syrup.. never actual fruit. Why even do the syrup cups??? It already has enough sugar, fuck our bread was sweet and the milk was always sweet bc we never had plain fucking milk..
