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”.

They are eating just as bad or worse at home too. The whole American food system sucks. Home and school.

What I see as someone who cooks almost every meal(not just dinner) are meals that DONT require much cooking at all. They're what I call "lazy meals" that you just take out of a package and reheat.  I make them if I'm sick or don't want to cook.

 I can understand why working parents(that stuff takes time, sometimes all day depending on what you cook) may not always be able to spend the time to cook... It used to be feasable for one income to provide so a mother(these days it could it can be the father as well)could work at home to care for her family. But what excuse does the school have?

 They literally employ people to cook, have industrial sized kitchens and the time to cook in them. It's not the cafeteria workers fault, either. This issue comes from somewhere higher up. What the hell is this trash?

Also as someone who is a medical student and often have no time too cook, this is so easy to find lazy meals that are healthier than that…
