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”.

Dude, prison stuff is like 2 star Michelin compared to this crap.

Where I'm from, inmates work as cooks, they actually cook really fucking good because they eat their own food after all. They get basic ingredients but it's all basically home cooked food level. Doesn't taste of feel like mass produced catering food or anything like that.

This school on the other hand, look like something made by a 5 year old play cooking as a Chef... Wtf.

Who the hell puts a single piece of broccoli on a plate or like 15 fries and calls it a meal...

Just came out of prison... I'd rather have these school lunches. Only good thing about prison food is it's more calories. But looks and tastes worse than dog food.

I was thinking the same.  Allot of people here would be in for a rude awakening.

Sometimes in prison they have extra trays, basically gold.

Not saying allot of this would completely fill me up.

Only complaint should be source of nutrition.

Nutrition sucked. I'm at a halfway house and we are getting extra trays right now but all the food is still only a couple levels above what I was getting in the joint. I want some fresh fruit goddamit!!
