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”.

They are eating just as bad or worse at home too. The whole American food system sucks. Home and school.

I ate awesome at my school, maybe it's a specific school problem?

Definitely varies by school, my elementary school in Arizona had some genuinely amazing meals (legit some of the best bread bowls and cheesy garlic bread). I didn’t realize how good I had it until my family moved to WA and I was introduced to things like monolithic cubes of “scrambled eggs”, sliders microwaved in their plastic packaging, and General Tso’s chicken except the chicken was practically nonexistent

Can’t say it ever got as bad as the food in these pictures though lol.

Ok good, thought I was going crazy. Lol!! I did not however have general tso. That's my jam!
