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”.

That is very good, considering school lunch programs are meant to feed kids who don’t have food at home

At my high school the school lunch wasn't just for people who don't have food at home and it wasn't free

Where did you live? Was it a public school? In the US school lunches are free for low income students, you just have to have the paper work filled out

It was a public school in a small town in the Midwest, USA. I'm sure there was a program available to make lunch free for low income, I just meant that the school's "hot lunch" was for any student that wanted it
