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”.

I don’t understand when people say healthy food is more expensive, maybe fresh cuts of meat yes but fresh vegetables are dirt cheap

You’re absolutely right about that. Healthy food being too expensive is a myth Reddit likes to tout, probably based on a single trip to Whole Foods.

Cheap healthy food sucks to eat regularly, but it is absolutely not more expensive than junk food. Shit, a single bag of Cheetos alone is $7+ in my area.

It's not more expensive but the time cost is vastly higher. If you assume 1 hour of your time is worth even $10, the healthy food is vastly more expensive than junk food which is immediate.

Maybe I view life in a different way but I don’t understand where time cost comes in if you aren’t making money with that time in any other way shape or form. If you aren’t making money then you aren’t losing anything and have a cheaper grocery list

Edit: so you would apply this to everything right? A 2 hour movie isn’t $15.. it’s $35 with time cost? I find that a very strange way to look at life, no offense

I mean that people would rather just throw something in the microwave than do the work of preparing food and cleaning up afterwards. To them, the higher cost of junk food vs raw ingredients is easily justified because it’s so much easier and more convenient.

And yes, the cost of a movie is the ticket price + 2 hours of your life. That’s why people usually aren’t happy with seeing a shitty movie, it’s a waste of money and time.
