  You’ve probably seen what they feed kids in school.

  There was an idea to make school lunches “healthier” to push weight loss by dumb politicians and the result was worse than the prison food served before. I’ll take the prison food any day over the “healthy” lunches I had when I worked in education, lunch duty so may as well eat something then since you get maybe 15 minutes to eat on lunch break, I would drink a pot of coffee a day lol.

  I really felt bad for the kids, and I can say it probably contributed to behavioral issues. I worked 12 hour+ days some of these kids where there that long for the after school program.

    Is it possible that the ‘dumb politicians’ were skill making and the result was malicious compliance and active sabotage?

    It’s perfectly possible to make school lunches health and good.

      “It’s perfectly possible to make school lunches health and good.”

      It totally is, watching those videos of school lunches in other countries. I can’t say I wasn’t jealous. I think the other aspect is that maybe the intention was “good” but didn’t factor in everything and went of basic statistics. I think I wrote this in another post; when I went to grade school, I would have a breakfast with tea, then in school I would eat two lunches, after school I would eat something, and then I had dinner. Now my situation was different. I had gym in school, track (running), martial arts class after school, and what I would say a modified marines workout daily(insanity if you ask me). I didn’t break over 125 pounds until I was 26. I could eat a whole pizza and still be hungry.

      Either/or food in US schools is shite. But for many, sadly, it might be the only meal of their day.

  When I was a kid in a southern US public school, I would have killed for a banana. I think peas were an option once.
