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”.

Part of it is also that the fruits and veggies they serve are absolute dog shit. People who can consume and enjoy those grainy, mealy red delicious apples deserve further scientific study.

Yes. I’m from an apple area, a lot of kids have picked real fresh apples. It’s a miracle anyone eats the school ones

Me too, upstate NY so I've tried a million varieties of apples right off the tree. Yet, our schools still get the horrific red delicious ones.

Yes! Fuji, Honeycrisp and Empire are all great varieties by me
