Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73831598 What disgusts me is the amount of food thrown away DAILY! They will not feed the homeless with it or donate it to someone who will for fear of lawsuits, so it gets thrown in the compactor. Sometimes garbage cans of hamburgers chicken sandwiches ect. With all that said... BOSCO STICKS are the bomb! (Cheese filled bread and pizza dipping sauce) Lawyers should be ashamed of their sue happy selves. That food should not be trashed. There are plenty of shelters for homeless that could be there to pick it up after lunch hour and serve it for supper that evening. |

Quoting: MaxHeadroomIntrusion True, the week can get busy, and after work, most people are too tired to cook. The best way to handle the weeknight time-constraint issue is to make a bunch of meals on the weekend, then freeze them to use during the week. that is what I do for my hubs and I...but....the Instapot has been amazing for slow cooking while we are at work..... |

I really think Type 2 Diabetes/Insulin resistance is being used as a form of eugenics! Today, most eat carbohydrate filler with absolutely no nutritional value.

It's disgusting. Glutened chicken nuggets, fries or pizza. Other options are sugar cereals with milk and a cheese stick. They make them take a soft apple and dried carrot sticks to make it a complete meal. And a chocolate milk or sweet punch. These are the options and most students on government health care receive this or something like it daily. Sometimes pizza. Quoting: Bird Shadow When I was little you had a lunch box. Mom packed a sandwich with a delicious piece of fruit and a folded kitchen towel to eat from. The meat on the sandwich was often what we had the night before for dinner. So meat loaf, chicken, roast beef, ham, etc.... You could only get white milk delivered in a bucket to your class.... We sometimes as a treat got a devil dog or a yodel but that was very rare..... What did your school lunch look like when you were growing up? WHEN I WENT TO FUCKING SCHOOL OUR PARENTS MADE OUR FOOD WHAT IS WITH YOU AMERICANS AND LETTING THE STATE FEED THEM? FUCKING STUPID!!!! cant bring your own food cause little jimmy might have peanut allergies - big pharma wins again ! |

But yes, that's the kind of thing I did, too - sans the candy bars. I did give them fruit roll-ups and snack cakes, though. Sometimes I got them the pizza Lunchables, sometimes I threw in packs of trail mix and cheese sticks or pudding cups or Jello. They were pretty much OK with all of it except fruit cocktail. This was 2005-10ish LOL! |

What did your school lunch look like when you were growing up? My son's school doesn't have a cafeteria because it's a special type of college prep high school. Kids get their associates' while they finish high school. It's still a free public school, but only has a couple hundred students so they don't have the same requirements. Absolutely zero parents complain about the lack of a cafeteria. They just send their kids to school with their own lunch or money for a local restaurant. My husband and I deliver lunch to our kid every day because we want him to eat healthy instead of eating tacos and burgers. Today we brought him teriyaki chicken, homemade. School lunch programs are nothing more than a scam and they do a great deal more harm than good by taking responsibility to feed the child away from the one person who will make sure they eat quality food--mom.

Meatloaf, veggies, potatoes, apple cobbler, stuff like that. Yes and fish on Fridays that was also real. No microwaves then. Real food. We HAD to eat everything on the plate, so if you didn't like carrots or something you had to pan it off on someone else. You couldn't throw shit away. Children were starving in Armenia or somewhere. |

I pack a lunch now. Usually pb&j, fruit, a snack, a juice box, and he gets milk at the school. We try to keep it interesting and instead of sandwiches sometimes, he might get a lunchable or soup or pasta in a thermos. Pretty similar to what mom used to pack for me. |

User ID: 71860689 United States10/22/2019 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I went to school we never had breakfast at school. Just lunch. It was a smaller country school. So even though a lot came from bulk cans, a lot of it was fresh and cooked in the campus cafeteria. We had great lunches, although the variety was lacking. You got what you got. But I remember saying and talking to other students how the school cafeteria lunches were better than my mom's cooking. I remember other students saying the same thing. I agree what kids get today is cheap crap. Might as well set the gally up with microwaves and let the student pick out their favorite nutritious TV dinners to thaw out and eat. Save money on cafeteria staff since they are not producing good food anyways. |
