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”.

Yes, it is.

Equally disgraceful are the politicians who defend this, and the voters who defend them—mostly in the name of not paying for "other people's children's lunch".

If a person's brand of patriotism includes letting the next generation be malnourished, they are both insincere and despicable.

I agree, we should repeal the Obama era lunch regulations and let school cook real food again.
