School Lunch--Yum, Yum OR Barf, Barf

[FredNOk]

Same here in Duncan. Our hambergers were made of 100% soy, but that line was always full. I had no problem with salad and I got through the lunch line quickly. I miss those peanut butter square things for dessert.

Don't know, never et one. Elementary school I was a lunchbox kid. Junior high it was downtown for burgers and fries. High school it was across the street for burgers and fries for my sophomore and junior years, then wherever my heart desired and my car would take me during my senior year.

To be fair... The average school lunches are probably more nutritious now than they have been since the 50's or 60's when they still served real foods.

it has zero nutritional value if kids wont eat it

My older brother's class(2 years ahead of me) ruined offsite lunches for our school(the sonic was right across the street). Too much tom foolery so they stopped that and started bringing in food from restaurants in town.

True story... but hungry kids will eat what's available. picky kids aren't hungry enough

We lived two blocks from school and money for school lunch was not available. Every noon I took a two block hike to work up an appetite, lunch at home, and a two block hike to work off the calories.

1M kids stop school lunch due to Michelle Obama’s food standards
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, February 2, 2014
The federal government’s changes to school lunch menus have been disastrous, causing problems for cafeterias trying to comply with the rules and leaving the menu so expensive or unpalatable that more than 1 million students have stopped buying lunch, according to a government audit released Thursday.

Although Superintendent David Cash admits that the lunches are “Not enough,” he blames Michelle’s Federal school lunch regulations for the unsightly meals.

Michelle Obama’s Control-Freak Lunch Program
by Michelle Malkin May 21, 2014 12:00 AM
Or you can do what Arlington Heights District 214 in Michelle Obama’s home state of Illinois just did: Vote yourselves out of the unsavory one-size-fits-all mandate. Last week, the state’s second largest school district decided to quit the national school-lunch program altogether. Officials pointed out that absurd federal guidelines prevented them from offering hard-boiled eggs, hummus, pretzels, some brands of yogurt, and nonfat milk in containers larger than 12 ounces.

I go to my kid's schools and eat lunch with them occasionally.

This is fabricated, selective outrage...

I was hungry so i ate whatever slop they put in front of me. Some was good like when they would make grilled cheese. I eat with my youngest sometimes and i think it's gotten worse over the years.
