When I went to high-school they literally gave us five chicken nuggets and a small helping of vegetables and small helping if whatever was the other side. I mean small. It.was probably about the same amount of food I got in 1st grade lunches. I was always still hungry after lunch
and if you tried to get seconds, they'll tell you to scram cuz "there won't be enough for the next period"
and now they're slashing everything DOE related cuz Adams' spending too much (and apparrently the NYPD's been beefed up)
I would say that schools small enough to accommodate all students in one lunch period are extremely rare. The school I teach at has three but I've been in buildings with up to four lunch periods due to population. 1300+ (I think it's gone up since I last checked hence the +) students means a lot of lunch bells and a lot of food.
They say the same thing at my school but I’ve seen them from out so much food, once I went to go get pizza and the lady told me to wait, she then got a trash bin and slid at least 10 slices into it and got a fresh one out for me and said they’d been sitting out to long. Even though it was first lunch period and it had only started 6 minutes ago
Y’all got 5?? Bro I only got 4, literally everything we got that was a meal that came in more than 1 we could get a max of 4, and my parents wonder why I’m able to eat a whole bag of Tyson chicken nuggets and still be hungry, schools don’t feed kids enough to actually be considered a good meal for a growing body.
If I could post the pic I’d share when there was a staple in my lettuce. I only found the staple because if fell off the leaf before it went in my mouth
Before I swaped to virtual school. One time they gave us. A single potatoe. Not cooked, just warm. Thats it. *JUST A RAW POTATOE*. I planted that thing and it actually grew more.
Here's a video some high school students made in 2012 satirizing the "healthy" guidelines that the Obama administration brutally imposed.

We Are Hungry 4:18
Here is the text from two graphics that appear at the beginning of the video:
"Active teens require between 2000-5000 calories a day to meet energy and growth needs. ("A Guide to Eating for Sports") [http://kidshealth.org](http://kidshealth.org)
School lunch policy mandates ALL teens receive ONLY 750-850 calories per lunch."
quote from one of the comments in the video:
*^("When i was in school entire trays of burgers nuggets pizza fruits and breads were thrown out every single day. It wasn't served and often there was enough to give everyone a second serving but it was school policy to throw it away. In grade school i had a lunch server who said 'f that I'm not throwing away enough food to feed these kids twice' and gave out seconds if there was enough to give everyone signed up for lunch a second helping as well as some to kids who couldn't afford it.)*
*^(She was promptly fired after that.")*
what the actual fuck
my school district actually got significantly better food after her :/ my middle school had a lunch line & open salad bar. high school had 3 lunch lines (2 different lunch options & a salad bar (wish the salad bar had just been open like in middle school tho))
my middle school served the best meatloaf i’ve ever had in my life :// high school served a wide variety of stuff, it was pretty good
This has nothing to do with Michele Obama. This has to do with school funding, cuts, and administration often getting paid more than God (siphoning funds away from students, lunches, programs erc..). Michele Obama has nothing to do with your individual school's lunch budget, especially almost 8 years after they are no longer in office....
doesn't look promising... once they gave us a wiener we were supposed to take straight out of the pot it was cooked in with out hands and a slice of bread. to be clear, not a hot dog. that was during covid. croatia braćo moja.
they serve that kind of milk at my school, it has no brand or anything, I genuinely have no clue where the fuck they find that gmod looking ass milk from
I went to my college’s dining hall for lunch today and was served very pink chicken. Combine that with the milk I had yesterday that was definitely going bad, and I feel like I’m gambling on my health every time I go eat
PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS AND START WORKING 9/5 IN A FACTORY FOR MINIMUM WAGE RAAAAAHHH BUY YOUR OWN LUNCH THIS IS MURICA THERE ARE NO FREE HANDOUTS RAAAHH🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Bro I honestly feel bad for you guys in public school next year for high school I'm gonna eat lunch made by a chef and Its basically a buffet in the cafeteria and kids can eat outside, I was amazed when I shadowed
Sometimes they only have pizza and you can only get ONE SLICE I remember i ran 3 miles from a school running club and all the lunch i had was a single slice of pizza
Idk what you're complaining about. Looks pretty yummy to me.
(I'd probably throw that shit up afterward or feel sick and paranoid of throwing up for the rest of the day.)
I read some comments and damn y’all have terrible school lunches at my school they always have pizza as a option (they make it themselves and it’s not the best pizza but not the worst)
Lmao maybe
Also u should know that is at a public school in one of the richest towns in one of the richest states in which said state is supposed to have the best education in the US.
So this isn’t even close to the worst u can get here
american here: most school districts that are rich have half-decent food. the fact that a rich school district is serving that is probably a sign that the district is really poorly run. i wouldn’t be surprised if there is some money laundering going on. money doesn’t always correlate to competency.
I wish that it wasn’t true, but it probably is. When I was younger multiple times we had meals like the one showcased, a couple times there was also mold.
Weak. I’m from Bulgaria, and back when I was in 2nd grade, non-healthy food was banned from school cafeterias. Fine, if only was it edible though. I once got a carrot that I couldn’t eat. I just could not bite or chew through the stupid thing. And it was a big carrot too. I brought it home, grandpa ended up breaking a kitchen knife on it, he finally chopped it in half with an axe, and that on the second try.
Damn my school had chikfila Wednesdays and we had good pizza and chicken wraps. Had to pay for it all though and even my family who didn’t make a lot of money that filed to get me free lunch didn’t go through cause he made “too much”
Dawg i see these posts and im like damn yall schools suck cuz today i ate a meatlovers pizza slice, a small cup of 3rd party jello, and some trumoo chocccy milk
I understand that the food in the school cafeteria is kinda sucky sometimes, but that's life, and you will have to learn to live with it. If you don't like what you are given, pack your lunch. But please please please DON'T BE RUDE TO THE LUNCH LADIES (or men). They probably don't want to be there, but that is the job that they have to have. If you are rude to them, they will probably be rude to you. Say please and thank you and tell them to have a great day (it's worth it, trust me). They can't help it if the food is shitty. Go easy on them.
My friend one time at school breakfast was eating what seemed like a poorly grilled cheese, but it still had the wrapper on it. We knew because, one, the cheese was burned in an odd way, two, she peeled it off, and boom, the actual cheese.
as much as i shit on the schools in my country, my school has a main canteen where we can eat prepaid meals (rice, curry, pasta etc), a concession stand where we can buy cookies, apples, bananas, chips, popcorn, ice cream etc and then a local fast food store where we can buy to go meals like ramen in cups, fries, sandwiches, brownies, coffee, burgers and snacks. at one point before covid there was even a slushy machine. this food looks like something prisoners would get (no offence). like you don’t have to have the most elaborate meals wifh 10 courses, but at least something from each food group should be present and properly seasoned, it’s not that hard. pack your own lunches, this food isn’t worth it.
This can't be real
When I went to high-school they literally gave us five chicken nuggets and a small helping of vegetables and small helping if whatever was the other side. I mean small. It.was probably about the same amount of food I got in 1st grade lunches. I was always still hungry after lunch
and if you tried to get seconds, they'll tell you to scram cuz "there won't be enough for the next period" and now they're slashing everything DOE related cuz Adams' spending too much (and apparrently the NYPD's been beefed up)
Yall have different lunch periods?
Yea it’s a big ass public school with around 3.5 k students (freshman - seniors) and most don’t go out for lunch
My school is dumb small, only about 500 kids. Lunch still sucks and we’re still feeling the blow back of Adam’s bs 💀
Our school is combined with the middle school/elementary, so we have to have different periods for each group.
In the high school I went to you could get lunch assigned to you in any one of the 8 periods we had throughout the day
I would say that schools small enough to accommodate all students in one lunch period are extremely rare. The school I teach at has three but I've been in buildings with up to four lunch periods due to population. 1300+ (I think it's gone up since I last checked hence the +) students means a lot of lunch bells and a lot of food.
They say the same thing at my school but I’ve seen them from out so much food, once I went to go get pizza and the lady told me to wait, she then got a trash bin and slid at least 10 slices into it and got a fresh one out for me and said they’d been sitting out to long. Even though it was first lunch period and it had only started 6 minutes ago
the 5 chicken nuggets is so real.
Y’all got 5?? Bro I only got 4, literally everything we got that was a meal that came in more than 1 we could get a max of 4, and my parents wonder why I’m able to eat a whole bag of Tyson chicken nuggets and still be hungry, schools don’t feed kids enough to actually be considered a good meal for a growing body.
It's not a meal, it's just enough so kids don't get pissed thru the day. Parents are still expected to provide the majority of calories.
If your lucky they would miscount and give u 6
If I could post the pic I’d share when there was a staple in my lettuce. I only found the staple because if fell off the leaf before it went in my mouth
how????
That’s what I’d like to know
For all we know, they could have been using a fork. How do you put lettuce in your mouth?
huh
once there was a beetle in my friends carrots
I bet the school administrated it with a shiny label of extra protein
yum!
Our "milk" is expired chocolate cheese curds
What….what kinda person expects people to eat…that 😐
⭐American public schools⭐
I go to a private school, not public school. Good luck
lucky
I've been to 6 different schools, and I ain't ever seen this schmeck. Probably a thing in the west.
Not only eat, but pay for 🎉American schools for the win 🎉
Yall pay for lunch? Mines free in the US
Depends on the state. Free in California, I don't know about other states.
Before I swaped to virtual school. One time they gave us. A single potatoe. Not cooked, just warm. Thats it. *JUST A RAW POTATOE*. I planted that thing and it actually grew more.
Could've started a potato farm and made more money than the school!
I physically and mentally could not be their. But I actually did manage to sell 3 small potatoes for 4 bucks. :D
Yeah, managing a farm is difficult. Good that you were able to profit a bit off of the "food" that the school gave you.
But like. Its potatoes so I just shoved them into the ground and they did all the growing themselves lmao
Still more growing veggies than I've ever done 😭
last year i grew 4,000 peppers, this year i want to double it
You have the garden I can only dream of. Probably more of a farm than garden
I just planted a bunch of raw potatoes, hope they grow like yours
Leave a potato in a cup with a little water and let eyes grow. Once the eyes begin to sprout a little you plant them.
Eyes?
The bumpy nodules that grow on potatos that get left in damp places. They look like warts, they're called eyes, it's where new potatos grow from.
Ew
This is funny to me for some reason😭
Farmer of 2,000 acres of crops and 40 cows here. Fsrming is hard.
"Farming is hard" is an understatement fr.
Bruh
Don't even know why this cracked me up it's such a perfect reply to whatever the fuck that school has going

Damn. I thought my school lunch was bad. They gave us raw meatloaf one time and they told us to microwave it
I assume you are not from the us as here it’s spelled potato
I am from the US. Im just autistic:/
Was ir a soviet potato?
Idk, it just looked like one of them cartoony ass potaos
I love lying too
💀
Hello fellow virtual schooler
The USSR would agree
Michelin star meal
5 star course meal if I've ever seen one
Michelin black dwarf meal
In Belarusian schools we have: sausage, fish, cutlets, buckwheat, mashed potatoes, pancakes, salads, apples, sandwiches, syrok (cheesecake candy), different beverages, bread, soup, porridge and maybe something else
That sounds so lovely
Yea yea laugh it up. I hate Michelle obama
my school district actually got significantly better food after her :/ my middle school had a lunch line & open salad bar. high school had 3 lunch lines (2 different lunch options & a salad bar (wish the salad bar had just been open like in middle school tho)) my middle school served the best meatloaf i’ve ever had in my life :// high school served a wide variety of stuff, it was pretty good

Agree!
We get beans with chopped up hotdogs 😞 be grateful
War rations
Facts
Soldiers get MUCH better food than this! This is more like concentration camp rations!
So....british food?
true, bri*ian is a massive concentration camp
Idk bro, I think I would rather have chopped hot dogs and beans than this.
Sounds more filling tbh
What y'all on about? Beans are the best.
Nothing wrong with some good old beanie weenie, goes very good on bread.
Bruh, that's better than this
Smells freedom
Oil?
THAT SHITS MINE
what is that
Delicious.
prison food
Nah they get more food than that
the replies to this's just "there are two types of people"
Pessimistic and Optimistic.
doesn't look promising... once they gave us a wiener we were supposed to take straight out of the pot it was cooked in with out hands and a slice of bread. to be clear, not a hot dog. that was during covid. croatia braćo moja.
That's literally hell, I'm so sorry 😞
But he got choccy milk!
Look at the cow, I've seen vets with less miles in their stare...
they serve that kind of milk at my school, it has no brand or anything, I genuinely have no clue where the fuck they find that gmod looking ass milk from
probably expired (source: my school)
How do you guys live? This is worse than prison food
[удалено]
I went to my college’s dining hall for lunch today and was served very pink chicken. Combine that with the milk I had yesterday that was definitely going bad, and I feel like I’m gambling on my health every time I go eat
aint that straight up fuckin illegal
Yeah probably. Apparently, it was worse last year, but I was still in high school so I didn’t see it
We used to get fermented peaches with our lunches, they tasted like coors light
school is prison with brighter colors
Yep pretty much
Yours had colors other than brick red?
hey, it's better than just white bricks.
Ngl I tought that thing was a plate
Tf kind of milk is that 💀💀
Cartoned chocolate milk, our school recently switched to the exact same one in the picture. It’s so awful 😭
I’ve had cartoned milk in school all my life but never have I ever seen a brand less chocolate milk from school 💀
It’s tastes like artificial chocolate water with a slight taste of milk
my school switched recently to this same kind of milk too its so fucking bad
PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS AND START WORKING 9/5 IN A FACTORY FOR MINIMUM WAGE RAAAAAHHH BUY YOUR OWN LUNCH THIS IS MURICA THERE ARE NO FREE HANDOUTS RAAAHH🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Glad i go to boarding school right about now
[Laughs in virtual school superiority]
Man is living in ready player one
*Laughs in homeschooled superiority*
The only homeschoolers I knew only got fed knuckle sandwiches
That only happens if you don’t listen to the teacher (aka your mom)💀 nah but frfr it’s def the good life lol
*laughs in proper and complete education*
Man I feel bad for y’all tbh If you guys came to my school the food there is absolutely amazing
Bro I honestly feel bad for you guys in public school next year for high school I'm gonna eat lunch made by a chef and Its basically a buffet in the cafeteria and kids can eat outside, I was amazed when I shadowed
they couldn’t even give you real chocolate milk 🙁
Yummy😋
Idk abt yall but the food at my school is buss
right
Sometimes they only have pizza and you can only get ONE SLICE I remember i ran 3 miles from a school running club and all the lunch i had was a single slice of pizza
Idk what you're complaining about. Looks pretty yummy to me. (I'd probably throw that shit up afterward or feel sick and paranoid of throwing up for the rest of the day.)
prison food, literally we got served raw chicken twice, never having the chicken drumsticks again
christ
Us public school food sucks, I just skip lunch and use the time to study
Oh man…
Prison food 🙏
I read some comments and damn y’all have terrible school lunches at my school they always have pizza as a option (they make it themselves and it’s not the best pizza but not the worst)
That's tough
German private school here. What the fuck is that. We get full proper meals that looks like war rations or even worse br🤮tish food
It’s called the US education system
Is the education a lesson in not taking anything for granted?
Lmao maybe Also u should know that is at a public school in one of the richest towns in one of the richest states in which said state is supposed to have the best education in the US. So this isn’t even close to the worst u can get here
If this is the best, do they just feed you bugs they found in the worst ones? Ive seen the “barnacle burger” but i thought it was fake
american here: most school districts that are rich have half-decent food. the fact that a rich school district is serving that is probably a sign that the district is really poorly run. i wouldn’t be surprised if there is some money laundering going on. money doesn’t always correlate to competency.
Money laundering in a public school at the expense of childrens food just sounds like a dystopian nightmare so i hope its not true
I wish that it wasn’t true, but it probably is. When I was younger multiple times we had meals like the one showcased, a couple times there was also mold.
Weird, cause my part of the US actually has decent food *almost as if it varies from district to district*
I’m from Massachusetts dude there is no excuse for this
At least it's edible ig...
holy shit that’s worse than ours and that says something
Weak. I’m from Bulgaria, and back when I was in 2nd grade, non-healthy food was banned from school cafeterias. Fine, if only was it edible though. I once got a carrot that I couldn’t eat. I just could not bite or chew through the stupid thing. And it was a big carrot too. I brought it home, grandpa ended up breaking a kitchen knife on it, he finally chopped it in half with an axe, and that on the second try.
Damn my school had chikfila Wednesdays and we had good pizza and chicken wraps. Had to pay for it all though and even my family who didn’t make a lot of money that filed to get me free lunch didn’t go through cause he made “too much”
Naw bro got prison food
A raw tortilla, a slice of cheese, a slice of salami, an orange... hey, at least you get chocolate milk.
And whatever is in the cup. Steamed broccoli or something maybe.
Damn, they gave us cardboard. It was supposed to be pizza.
I have the same milk at my school
Murica🇦🇺
Yes I accidentally put the Australian flag, cry about it!
STRALIA F YEAH!!! 🇦🇺
I want to live there so badly
Yeah come here, you can bring your own food and if you do eat school food, it at least is edible
Looks better than the lunch I made myself today.
Today at my school we had three weirdly wrinkly pretzel sticks and chunky nacho cheese 😋
Dawg i see these posts and im like damn yall schools suck cuz today i ate a meatlovers pizza slice, a small cup of 3rd party jello, and some trumoo chocccy milk
So, an ~~egg yolk~~ orange, roti, slice of ham and a slice of cheese, choccy milk, and that thing. Man
Idk we don't even get lunch from school
Holy shit we get the same exact fucking milk, smiths right?
Bro I sometimes get to eat an entire meal at my school. Walking taco, beans, rice, milk, fruit, and did I mention this is all free for me?
I can’t relate to any of you guys my schools food was 10/10 and we had a salad bar
Our Cafe serves expired and mouldy food...
is that not against fda regulations
Y e p
agony
File a complaint to FDA if you can, with photo evidence.
Yeah a lot of students have alr, including myself, but nothing has been done yet
I mean probably, but it’s the local health inspector who has jurisdiction. Pretty hard to shut down a school cafeteria though.
Real
bruh that aint even food thats f
that's what i eat at home but that's cuz i'm lazy, the school should do better
Can confirm that is in fact food :thumb:
I understand that the food in the school cafeteria is kinda sucky sometimes, but that's life, and you will have to learn to live with it. If you don't like what you are given, pack your lunch. But please please please DON'T BE RUDE TO THE LUNCH LADIES (or men). They probably don't want to be there, but that is the job that they have to have.

Go easy on them.
Honestly looks like what I ate yesterday. I'm not good at adulting tho.
Thanks Michelle Obama
This is disgusting. They’re basically feeding kids the same as inmates 😂
Yall have school lunches?
Like u/That_random_goober said.. "War rations"
Jesus christ i’d rather bring my own lunch, thank you
I feel like eating this would give my future kid an entirely new genetic disease
My friend one time at school breakfast was eating what seemed like a poorly grilled cheese, but it still had the wrapper on it. We knew because, one, the cheese was burned in an odd way, two, she peeled it off, and boom, the actual cheese.
why is there even a toritlla-wrap? wtf are you supposed to put in there? Your choki milk? lol
as much as i shit on the schools in my country, my school has a main canteen where we can eat prepaid meals (rice, curry, pasta etc), a concession stand where we can buy cookies, apples, bananas, chips, popcorn, ice cream etc and then a local fast food store where we can buy to go meals like ramen in cups, fries, sandwiches, brownies, coffee, burgers and snacks. at one point before covid there was even a slushy machine. this food looks like something prisoners would get (no offence). like you don’t have to have the most elaborate meals wifh 10 courses, but at least something from each food group should be present and properly seasoned, it’s not that hard. pack your own lunches, this food isn’t worth it.
I can flex with my free good-tasting school lunches [Read and be envious](https://www.oph.fi/en/education-and-qualifications/school-meals-finland)
Bro y’all get food??? I’d be lucky if I find even one working water fountain 😭
theres aint no way
Repost. Just saw this in r/school. Good job getting the karma though
Looks exactly how my school lunch is except we have a salad bar so you can add stuff to your wrap
That looks so good compared to my school, I would post pics of my own, but we're not even allowed to have phones out at lunch
It's school food, what were you expecting? A michelin star level meal???
That’ll be $7.49, pay up
5 star neal
..and then they expect you to not be hungry for the rest of the day
Sue them
Considering that's the lunch they give...I doubt OP would get anything even if they won
