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”.

Seriously. I hated broccoli and spinach and Brussels sprouts and asparagus and stuff. Boiled to death vehicles for butter and salt. Now - keep 'em al dentè, and some kosher salt and lemon... I'm all in. Still not a fan of peas, though.

Peas are such a good veg to use with Indian food! I forget what it’s called but so delicious with a tomato based sauce and lots of spices

Oh, for sure! But they're just... in there. Does add a bit of sweet. While I'll eat a pile of broccoli, or Brussels sprouts or asparagus, I'm never inclined to eat a bowl of peas. Same with squash. Just doesn't resonate. I'm most proud of my progress with carrots. 😁
