Why honestly… I have seen such beautiful lunches made, even by kids themselves. In France, school lunches are often made by kids, as a part of their education, and it turns out really really good
This is what all these “programs” seem to turn into.

For context we did already have a much more well received free school lunch program running. Budget was $8/meal which were all made by local outfits near each school.
Then we had a change of government to one with substantially more drop kicks than before. Budget was adjusted to $3/meal and all meals being made by Compass group in one location frozen and shipped to a location near the schools to be reheated on the day.
It’s generally regarded as a shit money saving, donor supporting decision.

This is conservative politics in action.
Nobody wanted it at all? Shelters? Not even homeless? It doesn’t even look that terrible. Nutritional no, but it looks like macaroni salad and chili.
Looks better than US school lunches…
I would absolutely eat those lentils.
Keep making fun of the US’s chicken nuggets with mac n’ cheese or our square pizza. Go ahead we will wait.
My dog wouldn’t even touch that!
Damn. How hard is it to just make shepherds pie or smth?
Oh no no no no…
Looks better than American lunches💀
Fuckin hell & I thought our school lunches were bad back in the day.
And I thought the U.S. was bad, Christ.
Why is some creep who got 5% of the vote poisoning our kids with trash?
And National sits there and says nothing. Gross.
