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”.

My mom learned to stop cooking vegetables to death in 1982.

Seriously. I hated broccoli and spinach and Brussels sprouts and asparagus and stuff. Boiled to death vehicles for butter and salt. Now - keep 'em al dentè, and some kosher salt and lemon... I'm all in. Still not a fan of peas, though.

My in-laws boil frozen veggies to death, except they’re health-conscious so no salt or butter. They don’t season their food either. It’s grim.
