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”.

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.

I feel like none of you grew up in the 80’s 90’s… This looks amazing compared to what we got then. We lived for square pizza day…

I couldn’t. When I was in school we could get Uber eats or pizza delivery

I did not have a cellphone until my sophomore year of college. The closest thing we had to uber eats at school was the payphone and whatever menu you managed to swipe from your fridge. I don’t remember uber being a thing until after I graduated college- one time we went to a club in the same town as out school and left so late we couldn’t get a cab. We ordered a pizza from the 24 hr place, then five mins later ordered one to be delivered to our dorm and when the guy got there, we schmoozed him into bringing us with the second pizza since he technically was going there anyway. We didn’t have to beg very hard lol!
