Omg me too, I laughed so hard.

[@igotnoodlesgold9193]

Nowdays schools serve spoiled food and drinks and really don't care

[@Rengodium]

It’s funny to me how he talks about it again after the donut. The donut is actually full of nutrition and is the healthiest thing out of all of them.

[@WadmanP]

Shocking, isn't it? So your tax dollars are being spent to essentially give your kids non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other metabolic syndromes. There are people and organizations fighting to get real food back into the schools. As you can imagine, that's a tough fight when the food industry has millions to throw into the fight.

“Unless I’m hungover and it’s cold from last night” lol the Mexican dads are great

[@stephiek.3267]

Poor kids today! I ate breakfast at home: cereal and milk, or buttered toast, or a poptart. Every day I made my own lunch to bring to school. A peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich, a bag of chips, and either a piece of fruit or a couple homemade cookies for a sweet ending. I'd buy a carton of milk, but I rarely ever bought the school lunch. It was just cheaper to bring food from home. I think I would buy when it was cheeseburger day, but I was happy with my pb&j sammies. I was a little jealous of those kids that had store bought cookies, like oreos or chips ahoy, but hindsight is that my mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies were better, and made with love.

[@rickyolivarez]

thats actually really sweet. omg. 🥺

[@sweetspicy7880]

Sweet but cereals are just plain sugar Butter toast isn’t healthy Pop tart isn’t healthy Sandwich is hardly any nutrition Chips are unhealthy

It's heartbreaking how their comments definitely reflect the reality of the school lunch situation in many parts of the USA, just because "some people" want to slash the budget.

Am I the only one that liked trashy school lunches? And we did not call that breakfast pizza. We called it school pizza and it was fire dipped in ranch. But then again, we were lucky because our school served pretty big portions for lunch. Then I worked in the cafeteria, so I always got extra food. My favorite day was taco salad. We had the best taco salad ever.

[@Meadow881]

I like my schools food but it can make me feel kinda sick since it’s pretty oily

[@restorer19]

The fact schools even give out ranch dip seems so foreign to me. -- student from 28 years ago...

[@WadmanP]

The fact that you liked those school lunches is by design. Whoever got the contract (which I'm sure is quite lucrative) fully understands how to make food that hits the pleasure or addiction centers of your brain. Fructose is definitely a chemical that triggers it.

School lunch was the worst 😂 especially elementary school

[@PapahChannel]

We are so sorry 😂

[@lordmonocr6206]

I didn’t have school lunch in middle and highschool but my elementary school was sooo goood. When people say school lunches are so bad I can’t relate. We got absolutely spoiled with ours. Volunteering for lunch duty was the best. You could get a little extra and the main school cafeteria chef guy would give you popsicles after on your way to class. It was a smaller school just inane I should add that

[@tinytt854]

I always volunteered. Free lunch. The food was good back then. I graduated in 1987.

[@maggiep3263]

This is so sad. I went to public school in the 70s and 80s. The only meal they served was lunch. It was 25 cents. Milk (regular or chocolate) was 10 cents. Lunch was always a hot meal. There was a meat, veg, a starch and dessert. Example: spaghetti with meat sauce, a green salad and French bread, Jello or a cookie. My favorite was the Thanksgiving and Christmas lunch of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans and pumpkin pie. Occasionally they would serve hot dogs or hamburgers or pizza.

[@tinytt854]

It is. I went to school in the 70's and 80's as well. We were given 3 choices. Hot lunch line, giant salad bar line or the snack shack. Kids are given crap now. It's not even food.

[@maggiep3263]

@@tinytt854 We only got the choice, hot lunch or a la carte, in junior high and high school. Hot lunch was like the food I mentioned above. The a la carte was hamburgers, pizza, etc. The food was cooked daily by the "lunch ladies", not "heat and serve" like what those dads had to eat. Seriously, it would be less expensive and more nutritious to make the lunch children and bring it to school, even if it's hummus, a hard boiled egg, vegetable and cheese sticks, crackers and grapes or some other fruit.

[@shelly6115]

They stopped serving thanksgiving type of lunches when I was in Elementary (around 2008-2010). Last thing I remembered was turkey with gravy and rice or unseasoned mash potatoes, stuffing, green beans or carrots, and milk or juice was available.

[@maggiep3263]

@@shelly6115 That's sad. Thanksgiving lunch at my school was awesome. The teachers and most of the students bought lunch that day. The turkey wasn't the highly processed turkey deli meat either.

[@andreabellini6796]

Man in the 80s when I was a kid the lunch ladies actually cooked food and it was delicious. My dad was a young single dad and drove bus for the school, for some reason at the end of the day they would pack up some of the leftovers and send it home with my dad. We ate the hell out of that wonderful food those kind ladies gave us.

You forgot the little dipping syrup that is usually sided with the French Toast sticks :P
