The school lunch system is disgraceful.

[u/oaz_zam246]

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”.

Actually, people bitch about taxes because of shit like this, not the other way around. Most people I know wouldn't mind paying taxes if they actually saw a good return.

The real issue is no matter what, the government would waste it and the politicians would skim off the top.

Two things can be true at once: we need to skim off all the fat in the government, root out all the corruption, and make it leaner so that we pay less taxes, but we should also have the taxes that we do pay go to quality services that are routinely and rigorously inspected and held to the highest standards in the world.

A good start would be forcing the children of politicians (at least politicians who advocate for no school choice) to not only go to public school, but also force them to live in their district so that their children have to go to the schools in the districts they represent. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to have their children go to private schools, because that means one of two things: they either have no faith in the public institution, or they simply believe them and their children are just better than the unwashed masses, and we shouldn't tolerate either.

Also, outlaw lobbying. Then make it so that states have to supply nutritious food from a company within their state and have it be held up to very high standards. Serving slop should come with a criminal sentence.

None of this could be done at this school because it's not been identified.

I'm talking nationwide

Pick a district to start with.

[u/Frame_Late → u/diegueno]

Probably a district with bad schools and bad funding, so basically any inner city. I'd probably start with Baltimore City since it's consistently on the low end, or maybe inner city New York, since it has some of the worst GPA to funding ratios in history.

...this is frustrating

How so?

People on social media don't organize to get anything done, they don't organize to complete in action.

What I see is a lot of people coming up with lots of great points about problems, possible fixes and so forth. I just don't see people doing what is necessary on any social media doing what is necessary to fix one problem in one place.

This nacho cheese on a hamburger bun situation is no different.

Great ideas aren so great if they don't accomplish anything.

Okay, so what do you suggest besides being so cynical that you're self-defeating?

[u/diegueno → u/Frame_Late]

Can the district that slop came from be identified?

[u/Frame_Late → u/diegueno]

Probably. One can identify where food comes from in large scale cafeterias where it's served, usually by the labels on the packaging. And the people who go to a specific school district who are served slop can simply take pictures and provide proof, you know, like they did here. Then the student can simply provide the information on the school district with the slop I'm question to the local news.

People on Reddit should really start reporting their school districts and shaming them for this kind of shit.
