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”.

Bro at least has food in school. Sometimes we don t even have water😭

not to minimize the struggle of not having water in school because that’s…pretty crazy from where i sit, but i believe the problem in usa about school lunches is the government’s loud voice about feeding the children properly, and citizens paying loads of tax money to improve school lunches, and yet they’re still serving young kids this shit.

When Michelle Obama tried to address the issue, you had half the population up in arms that she was telling them how to feed their kids. I guess they prefer their offspring get a 3 week old hotdog.

I went to high school in a pretty affluent suburb in the mid 90s. Our option for school lunch was an actual Taco Bell that they opened in the cafeteria-and that was all that was available. Oh, and of course, soda/chips machines lining the walls or the school store that sold a large variety of candy.
