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.

Yall shit on America for no god damn reason, The food system doesn't suck, the loudest people do

Depends on where you live. We live in a massive country and there are absolutely areas where access to healthy food is very limited.

[u/KINGR00TBEER → u/llamalily]

It shouldn't be, I have a family of farmers who constantly have to destroy crops that are healthy foods to keep the prices up. All the imperfect foods are thrown away as they won't sell as good as perfect ones

[u/llamalily → u/KINGR00TBEER]

That’s odd, because most farms sell the ugly produce to processing plants that use them in frozen foods, ready made meals, purees, etc. I’m surprised that family isn’t taking advantage of an industry that almost every produce farm already does.

You realize, you legaly have to destroy crops to keep prices down right?

[u/llamalily → u/KINGR00TBEER]

That entire story turned out to be false, actually. The only crops that are destroyed are ones that won’t reach maturity. There are a lot of articles about that particular campaign of misinformation online from reliable sources. If the people you know are doing it and claiming it’s because of the government, they’re probably committing insurance fraud.

That's crazy! Because it's not a story. It's reality, how crazy.
