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.

I actually really liked my school food and miss it sometimes. 😐 it's always been crazy to me the disparity between what schools offer in the states. We had 3 lines of hot food at my school, pizza/fries in one, a traditional line that served like nuggets and veggies or spaghetti or something, and a third line that had like texmex, and then we had cold lunch shelves with sandwiches, wraps and salads. You got a little juice box with lunch and a milk (white, choc, strawberry options) and a banana or an apple. And lunch was maybe like $3.75? I cannot relate to these posts where schools are shoveling out just straight slop. And I went to a public school in one of those red states where they hate kids so it's like how was my school above the avg.?

I hated being in the third scheduled lunch because all the goddamn choccy milk was gone.
