"Ketchup, French Fries and Pizza sauce are considered a vegetable" You can't get more American than that.

[@NotSoRev]

The funny thing though... they are vegetables. I mean kinda... tomatoes are fruit 😕. That said... you should definitely not be eating a vegetable size portion of ketchup. My gravy for roast is mainly tomato, onion, carrot and celery and of course the beef drippings. I’m sure much more nutritious than ketchup... point being, would my gravy count as a vegetable? Not letting them classify these things as vegetables would limit their abilities to provide yummy 🤤 food. The real issue is WHY would a school decide to serve ketchup as a vegetable... not that it is labeled a vegetable but that’s my 2 cents.

A lot of professional chefs have shown it’s possible to cook nutritious, delicious meals on a typical school lunch budget. If you ever wondered why these programs weren’t put into place, this is why. The reason why students have to eat crappy lunches everyday isn’t a lack of money-it’s too much of it.

[@Brad_Evans]

I remember when Michelle Obama's plan when into effect when I was in high school. The way the lunch combos worked getting a fruit would make your lunch cheaper so naturally everyone would grab a fruit to get the cheaper combo then immediately throw in the trash, there would be trash cans full of fruit and vegetables, it was really sad honestly.

[@VideoCesar07]

It really is. Kids already gravitate towards eating unhealthy food and food corporations exploit it as much as they can. It's been going on for decades and it's only getting worse. Most of what is served in schools isn't food, it's products. Govt should make it mandatory for these corporations to disclose how much they are making off school lunches. Doubt it will happen. Even if parents try to teach their kids to eat healthy and give them homemade lunches, from my friend's son he tells me many of them just throw them away and use their allowance to buy sugary or fatty cafeteria food or vending machine snacks.

[@alyssa6815]

This still happens everyday at my school. I’ll just be buying a snack and the lunch lady will tell me to take a fruit to make my meal cheaper. I’ve tried eating them but they were either weirdly mushy or to hard to peel.

So dissapointing. That is why we also need to educate our children in the importance of fruits & veggies. I didn't really grow up this way but now I live in a community where already in elementary school they have gardens for kids and nutrition education. They literally grow the food and then take it home with the knowledge of how it was grown & why it's good for you.

As a Brit, I never really understood why so many Americans were disillusioned with capitalism. But then this video probably explains why. We sort of take our constitutional framework for granted - strict regulations on lobbying, strict conflict of interest laws and regulatory commissions being fully nonpartisan and independent and run by experts. We've always had an understanding that regulation is needed to rein in corporations. And we've always separated public and private sector functions. It would be inappropriate for the private sector to run your police, fire departments or hospitals. So our version of "capitalism" turns out to be very different from American capitalism.

There is a huge difference. Lunch trays and plates are reuseable thousands of times. Other food packaging, especially for fastfood, is single use and often goes directly to a landfill instead of recycling. But its just stupid for a government to suddenly "decide" to go from plastic pakaging to alternative products, before industrial grade alternatives exist. Those will take another 2-4 years to be tested and refined. Wait a bit longer to get a good product, instead of just a barely working product. Good packaging ensures that food stays fresh longer, and less has to be thrown away. Just demanding to something, that you are not ready for, is like the "planned economy" in comunist countrys. Its like socialists, it doesnt work, and if it does, its bad quality.

I worked in Japan as an English teacher for 2 years and the school lunches there were simply awesome. The way it was explained to me was that the government aimed that every child from Kindergarten to grade 9 should have one good meal a day, and so the lunches are subsidised. There is some corruption in the program involving the dairy producers (every child gets a milk pack in a country traditionally not big on milk), but for the most part the individual boards of education manage the scheme and deal with funding at a local level. This was in a rural area, but a lot of women don't go back to the work force after having children so the board of education employs any who want to work, and they will make the school lunches for the area. They earn money, their hours of work are whilst their children are at school, and they get to see what their kids are eating. Additionally, the meals are planned out a month in advance and at the beginning of the month, a school lunch chart is sent out so that the parents can see what is being served everyday and so they don't serve the same food for dinner that the child had for lunch.

Thats literally every restaurant in america/ Thats how its always been because when you do try and donate the food people have sued these restaurants for getting sick in the past. You literally cant win in this situation, its a liability. They have to throw it out.

My genius 7th grade history teacher gave us a “Great Depression” Project where we had to feed our whole family with 4 dollars. I made something healthier than my school lunches.

[@mirasfingerbandages]

👏👏👏 true inspiration

It wouldn’t be the same as the greasy depression because of inflation

[@Stinky_Steven]

Leviticus that’s why we were given 4 dollars and not ten cents

[@ccggenius]

I should hope it was healthier, you got over 3 times the budget per serving that school meals get.

In Ontario (Canada), we never had cafeterias in primary school. Everybody comes with their own lunch bags packed by their parents, and it was always fun to trade with friends. We did have programs like milk program (carton of milk everyday) and we also had Pizza Day where we got pizza on Fridays (pre-paid by parents). We also had other programs but they were more of a treat and not for everybody.

[@AssBlasster]

That honestly sounds worse than the US. I'd rather get some crap food over no food. My poor parents relied heavily on free lunches to keep me fed. We obviously could bring lunch from home too.

[@cohengamertv6548]

Milk in schools is subsidized by the government, so it's basically a requirement to have it on the menu in the US. It's a weird milk lobby thing.

I can remember the change in pizza flavors. Before, the school pizza at least tasted like pizza. Come 2014 or 2015 (can't remember) they switched the pizza and now it tasted like foam and plastic. Not sure if it was dominos pizza but it sure did not look like such.
