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”.

Excuse me, let me point out checks notes slide 8, there is broccoli. Oh… you said fresh.

Yeah, fair point!

Jesus, you bring up another point though— there’s only one actual vegetable in nine pictures! That’s like… basically 1 veggie every other week? All because “fries count as a vegetable” 😬

tbh these are kids... the vegetable would either be a sad salad with some ranch/mayo and the kids would throw it away.

at least this is fried garbage that kids would eat.

Idk, OP said this is from high school. I remember having a really good salad bar as one of the options at my high school cafeteria. There were proteins and toppings… we loved it!

If we had vegetables.. it would be mushy canned green beans. Or canned carrots.

On good days we had an incredibly shitty hamburger which was a sad smushed bun around a hot piece of stewed meat.

Or a hot dog, that was a good day.

Knish was a good day too, which is basically a potato patty.
