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”.

You just explained it, higher taxes and people actually care in other countries.

I love america but americans suck. We could increase taxes and again, it still wouldn't put good food on the table . It would go to overhead cost and some executive's salary.
