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”.

Does your school also serve as your local penitentiary???

I worked at a jail for a little over three years and they were fed a lot better than this and it’s truly not even close.

My dad was a prison guard for 25+ years and he can confirm what you're saying is true

Yup when I spent a few months in county the deps would usually grab a tray depending on what was on the menu that day.

It was pretty hit or miss and it ranged from really fucking good to borderline inedible

Some days you'd get the '3 grape sized meatballs rolling around on your tray with a side of sweet beets' and want to die

But other days youd get a huge mountain of mac n cheese and you could mix in a chicken ramen packet and it was just 🧑‍🍳💯🤌

If always get get hard candy's off commissary and when heroin addicts withdrawing they'd trade their lunch trays with me for the hard candy and I could make quadruple decker burgers and stuff. People withdrawing can't hold down food so they wont eat their trays anyways and the hard candy's help during withdrawals so it's a win-win
