    1-2 looked pretty good. 3-5 needed “more food”

    Better than the food the kids at my school get.

    No3 is really r/shittyfoodporn

    The rest is actually better than i tought it would be

  4. Striking-Drawers

    A million times better than what my schools served

  5. Want to point out that there might be a lot more options – this is just what the person wanted to eat. I remember only eating bagels and Sunny D from the snack bar for lunch in jr high. THAT SAID – school lunch in the US needs a ton of improvement (and should be free for kids).

    My wife and I went to different public schools in the same city and coincidentally just the other day we were trying to recall some of the lunch details. I thought my school always served brown gravy, and she thinks hers always had cream gravy. Your pictures just reminded me there could have been a third possibility: Yellowish-clear snot gravy. Blech!

  7. At least it’s better than what they fed us in the ‘90s.

    They don’t serve food on real plates anymore?

    This is why my child is constipated from eating at school.. and these look better than his lunches.

    Low quality and pretty small portions. Double whammy

    Wtf if you compared this to the hood i had when i was in school this look like 5* restaurant and my food look like im from a 3rd world country.

    Those strawberries were the best back in the day… One thing at lunch that I was genuinely happy to be served.

    Those strawberry things are so good though. When I was in high school they would serve them frozen. I definitely don’t miss the lunches as a whole though I had to pay $3.25 a meal and was still hungry after.

    Well at least we don’t have to worry about Milhouse having two spaghetti dinners in one day.

    Fried stuff, fried stuff, fried stuff, fried stuff andddd fried stuff

    The strawberries in #1 were my favorite side treat in school! And the frozen apricots too!

    Looks amazing, but then again I’m stoned 🤷‍♂️

    Huh, I still remember compartmented foam trays…

    Nothing pisses me off more as a taxpayer than seeing kids served this shit. The superintendent in my local school district makes $295k a year, and upper-level admins make similar 6-figure salaries while kids are served slop worse than prison food

    This dude has fucking chives AND sour cream with his food.

    Fancy ass, high class school going mfer right here.
