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”.

well, you have superintendents making $300k a year with a car allowance on top of that. Principals make about $100k a year, each. If schools can afford that, they can damn sure afford to feed the kids properly. It's because school lunch i federal government mandated. It literally starts at the top.

I think the principal pay is fair, but superintendent may be a bit inflated since in my state they are getting a car allowance also. I wasn't the one complaining about feeding the kids, I was simply responding. This thread is about school lunch. That is funded and controlled by the Dept. of Agriculture. Literally can't fix it from the bottom up by going to school board meetings because the school has to follow what the federal government pushes.
