Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
My school's food was awesome, then they changed head chefs when I was in like 8th grade and it became less awesome, but still good.

This is reminding me of that incredible 'saddest meal' thread.

Is it bad that I like this pizza?Fuck these kids. I grew up with fucking rectangle pizza with cubed pepperoni!
It probably is.
I agree, don't like the food? How about some peanut butter on crackers or store brand wheat bread. It's filling, nutritious and good awful cheap...I still exist at times on peanut butter and I'm 36 and not struggling.
Schools should provide this as an alternative as well. Peanut butter on toast with an Apple and milk is a damed good lunch for a kid.

Jesus at some of the "lunches" in here, and the plastic or styrofoam "plates". Rarely have I felt a genuine superiority to, and sorry for, Americans. Seriously not trying to be a dick. (Unless these are all joke pics.)
Even though we made fun of the menu's and "mystery dishes" in my high school, it was always pretty good. Like diner restaurant quality.
Is the school lunch in the US free?

I grew up in a low income area(so did most of the students at my schools) so my lunch was always free up until my junior year of high school. Once I had to start paying for my lunch, like $1.50 or so, the quality really went up. The pizza's actually looked and tasted like pizzas, they offered freshly made turkey or ham wraps, the burgers were good, etc. Overall diner restaurant quality.

Don't know why, but the beef and vegetable soup was always my favorite back in the day.
When I think of school food, I picture this (with less meaty bits of course), not pizza. Soup, simple pasta, potato mash & sausage(s), more potatoes and fish sticks.
So they eat salmon from plates in France and fried doughnuts from paper bags in Mali. US falls somewhere in between.
We often ordered food from restaurants. But the school food was decent.

I have no idea which state and what region therein these kids go to school. That changes what they will receive.

Every student has a lunch account that you can put money in whenever(at the lunchroom or office)
Some schools now let you do it over the Internet as well.
Middle school we had plastic sectioned trays that were reusable,
Highschool we had foam trays.

I remember in kindergarten and first grade, we still had cooks, then they changed to whatever lausd used a mass production facility. Quality was a sheer drop.
A lot of people still do. I did most of the time since our school lunches were always really gross.

States schools are required offer a lunch.
Anyone can take it but who whants boring stuff from home when people are eating pizzza, etc.
For people that actually bothered with getting lunch in my school it was free but most people just went to the place down the road for lunch, they had a student discount and everything.

No. $2-$3 is the norm, a poor family can get free lunch though.
That would be fine if schools here(Alabama) weren't banning most outside stuff recently.
Lunch from home - no soda, no chips, no fast food, no restaurant food, no using the teachers microwave in the lunchroom either.
Heck my brother who is a senior got in trouble for bringing reheated Pizza Hut pizza in a regular lunch box.
Shit, I've had actual plates and metal utensils since I started school at age 7. And food, while not exactly great most of the time, was at least always serviceable.. well except veggie patties, those things fucking sucked. Google gives me these:
notice the lack of tiny plastic baggies, food looking like food and trusting kids with actual dinnerware. Everything's free too until university level.

Yeah, this is how we always had it. The plastic sectioned tray thingy confuses me. Looks incredibly unappetizing. But I'm Swedish, which means the school lunch was free as well. (Well, paid for by tax payers, you know what I mean.)

LOL, I wish my school let kids serve themselves.
They tried a few times but everyone got at least triple sides.
Eh, trays weren't a big deal we had them in some form from Kindergarten onwards so it wasn't really anything.

Would some districts purposefully make shit food so healthy food requirements backfire? You bet your ass. 10-year soda contracts alone are worth $4 million upfront and an additional $350,000 a year to sell its beverages in schools. It's not even the sales, but rather the brand exposure at a young age that makes such contracts worthwhile.
Legislation would need to buy the contracts out for these requirements to succeed.

No, soda machines have already been removed from many schools.
Here they were the first to go(even powerade machines in the gym) then snack machines and then the actual lunch crap started.
Not at all, that kind of pizza can be delicious. I want to say it's a style of pizza unto its own, let's see....

"Govt can't do anything so we'll make sure it can't" + unrealistic low budgets.
Not sure if serious...
That looks like prison food... Hell you can't even make out one ingredient from that slop...

Mystery mush lol
What confuses me is that while the rectangular ones where terribad the round ones were amazing.
It was such a weird thing that clearly different people were contracted to make the pizzas and my school used both and probably still do now.

To be fair I wouldn't have wanted that filth being served to my child.i used to love turkey twizzlers in school but they were banned from school dinners along with other things.
I remember at the time parents handing junk food through school gates for their kids, because they'd be damned if they were going to allow well balanced healthy food being served to their children.
Fuck these kids. I grew up with fucking rectangle pizza with cubed pepperoni!
Nah, son. Bow before your superior.
It's obvious that the kids that are complaining are in favor of more funding for school lunches, which obviously means they're in favor of a tax increase, even though their republican parents that set this whole scam up obviously think that no taxes should be increased ever for any reason.
Oh yeah and school lunches are a state and local issue not a federal issue but thanks Obama
