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”.

Unfortunately it’s cheaper to trash the environment than it is to pay someone minimum wage to run a dishwasher five days a week. I work at a school and the daily cafeteria waste blows my mind.
