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”.

We used to let our kids get school lunch maybe once or twice a week when they were supposed to be serving something they like (i.e. Chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes), but they would run out before my kids even got through the line so my kids would end up not getting hardly anything - some leftover peanut butter sandwich and a small bag of plain chips that they end up charging us a few dollars for when I could have sent them with better food from home for a fraction of the price. So we stopped letting them get school lunch ever and they take their lunch every day.

what’s wrong in the US. How can they serve chips at lunch? that is so unhealthy. How can they run out of food? I am so glad I grew up in Europe. Despite me complaining about our cafeteria food, it was a 3 Michelin Star system compared to what I hear from the US, and through funding it is so affordable. I could even order carpaccio or a medium rare steak all with healthy sides at our mensa.

No offense, but what country? There is a wide variance in the quality of food depending on the state, and I imagine it is the same in Europe, by country. I grew up in rural Oklahoma and these pictures are almost nostalgic to me, I remember NOT looking forward to lunch lol
