Are they really? I can't believe that's actually a thing. That's unfathomably stupid.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Well that's fucked up, considering the US is a first world country.
And further considering that no first world country became one without considerable investment in education.
Fuck these kids. I grew up with fucking rectangle pizza with cubed pepperoni!
whoa, school flashbacks. Thanks alot, DM...

I found it really odd how the elementary school and the high school both have the same serving of milk. Was not nearly enough especially when the meal was spicy chicken. High school age kids are much bigger its not enough.
Also those pizzas were actually good, most of the time unless they over cooked it. They occasionally went to whole grain and ruined it and it was horrid.

That pizza...you guys are bringing back bad memories.
Though my school had Nachos, Beef, and Cheese every once in a while, that went hard. As did those pink frosting cookies.

Hey there
What babies. That looks way better than the cream corn they served me.
The only thing I liked about school lunch was the Mexican Pizza.
Of course, the one in the cafeteria looked like the one on the right rather than the left. Still was pretty tasty though.
Everything else sucked. But I dealt with it without having social media to run to and cry on.

Fuck yes! We got rectangle pizza every damn day! They also sometimes gave us bigger sizes for extra cash, and some guy would always get a piece the size of his tray. It was glorious mannnn.

This is why I ate my own lunch or afterschool
Would maybe buy a cookie or nachos if they had them

Holy shit. I thought bagged milk was bad. Now there's the abomination of bagged chocolate milk?!??! What kind of satanic thing is this?

Missing the corn on top.
I really feel like I missed out on a important life struggle/lesson with school food.
I went to a private christian school and a few businesses catered to us throughout the week: taco bell on Tuesdays, Chick-fil-a on Thursdays and pizza hut on Fridays (dollar a slice but they were cut new York style).
Edit: I guess I should mention that they didn't offer any kind of food plan. Would just get $5 from my mom each morning and that would cover break snack and lunch.

I have a friend who is a teacher. She went to the cafeteria to grab a snack to go along with the food she brought and she said everything looked disgusting. They had nachos and she asked for just the chips and they told her they couldn't sell it to her that way. It was all or nothing. She told them she was a lactose intolerant vegetarian and that she couldn't eat the meat or cheese. It took a lot of convincing before they finally sold her just the chips.

And if ketchup contains enough tomato to be considered a serving of vegetables then it is a serving of vegetables, like deep fried sugar glazed broccoli would also be a serving of vegetables.

You really didn't miss much. It was low quality, unhealthy food that kids were being fed in these public lunch programs. The Milk always tasted like bleach and the pizza was the redeeming grace of the much numerous servings of food that were not very appetizing.
Although, your catered foods are no better.
I was in K-6 for public school and I can't recommend those lunches to anyone.
When I started going to parochial school from 7-12th Grade, I ended up making lunch and bringing it to school nearly every day. We also had cafeteria food, but it was really low quality.

not hating on the incentive, but the push towards healthier lunches created a miasma of unappetizing food in my school's cafeteria.
I'm talking wheat buns with dry turkey buns or chicken i don't know. brown and gray, tasted just like it looked (which is like nothing at all). vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli soups or some shit with too much salt and oil floating on top of water for some reason. some sort of vegan taco shit that was weird as hell. no pizzas.
it wasn't healthy at all because it was still lots of complex carbs with lots of salt and grease, and it didn't have the decency to at least be tasty. it was a dark time.

No the problem is the new guidelines, I ate fine back in school based on the pyramid.
Even really good schools haven't been given enough support for the guidelines so they end up with the old style lunches yet have to cut a side here, cut 2 chicken nuggets there and half that side.
The lunch is technically within the guidelines yet they charge the same as they used to and now you have 90% of the kids that buy school lunches either buying extra items or a complete extra lunch just to get full.
Take Hot Dog day for example.
Before guideline- Hot Dog, small bag of chips, small side of fries(sometimes), cookie, milk
After guideline- Hot Dog, fruit cup, milk
I definitely saw the rapid descent of quality in school food while going through my years.
From Calzones and free brownies in elementary, to pretty much slop at the ending years of high school.
During Freshman year we ended up getting calzones, piggies in a blanket, kung pao chicken etc. so I thought we were finally getting more budget, turns out it was just a lie...

Hey there
When I was in middle school I made locker wine with some buddies out of the grape juice pouches.
Really it was just spoiled ass grape juice.
We were pretty dumb.
