There's something so evil about the social murder of intentionally starving children to me. We know how important nutrition is for physical and mental development, let alone participating in school. We know how barbaric the country otherwise is and how little it provides for the poor, but we won't give those children one healthy meal per day to let them reach their full potential or even just avoid dietary diseases. There's no benefit to a weakened underclass other than reinforcing its oppression so this is just slow-motion eugenics.
God damn America. That's in the bible.
Running out of money on my ID at my middle school cafeteria unlocked a shame in me that I had never really known before, especially as I was already on the reduced price plan. My literacy teacher was kind enough to buy something for me that day, at least.
God, you just unearthed a memory that’s been so long repressed since 15 years ago.
the broccoli is unnecessary, pizza sauce has tomatoes in it making pizza a healthy vegetable
🤮
Remember the Reddit rage when China initially supplied shit food to athletes during the Olympics? This shit happens all the time in U.S. schools.
This bit from the wiki page is.. interesting:
really gross
In 2013, an investigation by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Chris Hedges discovered that the food provided to inmates at Burlington County Jail in New Jersey was substandard and spoiled, and often made prisoners sick with diarrhea and vomiting.[38] Maggots found in the food preparation areas at Parnall Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan may have been the source of an outbreak of food-borne illness.[39][40] Maggots were also found in Aramark food products at Michigan's Charles Egeler Reception & Guidance Center[41] and two Ohio prisons, the Ohio Reformatory for Women and Trumbull Correctional Institute.[42] Aramark, however, was cleared by the Michigan Department of Corrections of any responsibility for inmate illness and for pests in Michigan.[43] Ohio and Michigan fined Aramark $270,000 and $200,000 respectively.[44]
In April 2015, the managing board of The Cavalier Daily, a student-run newspaper at the University of Virginia, reported that Aramark literally "served garbage" to inmates in the Saginaw Correctional Facility in Freeland, Michigan. It also noted that Aramark has in the past "underfed inmates and fed them dog food, worms and scraps of food from old meals" and argued that the university should reconsider its relationship with the food services contractor in light of these ethical issues.[45] Michigan's oversight of Aramark's performance was criticized as inadequate in a report released in August 2015 by the group Progress Michigan after Michigan moved to end the contract.[46]
Likewise, Aramark has been criticized for skimping portion sizes, food safety issues, and overcharging state governments (Michigan, Kentucky, and Florida) that have used their food in prisons; a Kentucky prison riot is reputed to have been caused by the low quality of food Aramark provided to inmates.[47][48]

Chicago Public Schools
Aramark has been criticized for the "filthy conditions" in Chicago Public Schools following the privatization of janitorial services and Aramark receiving a $260 million contract for their management. Responding to these reports, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said "Aramark's job is to clean the schools, so our principals and teachers can focus on their fundamental responsibility: education. They will either live up to that contract and clean up the schools or they can clean out their desks and get out."

The bad food pictures that went viral were like grab-and-go boxes that was made by a literal robot and it just looked like hospital food. Everything served by people looked pretty good.
Honestly, having eaten American MREs they could stand to be more nutrition bar-esque. They're good in theory, but in practice it's really hard to eat them while on the move, so if you're not sitting in one spot for a long enough time you'll just be pouring the uncooked noodles and room temp sauce down your mouth.

Anyway this was pretty much what we got at CPS when I was a kid. One time my friend found cardboard in his pizza. Aramark, CPS's food supplier, is better known as the largest prison food company in the US. All these institutional food companies - Sodexo, Chartwells, etc - are godawful.
e: :prison:
Aramark was the caterer at my colleges dining hall but it wasn't as bad as this.
idk who did the catering at my school but I will never forget when Obama visited and they literally replaced all the regular food with nicer food just for that one specific day
thank you Mr President
This image also deserves a NSFW tag for like 18 other reasons than that as well
At my high school "fresh" food in plastic wrappers would regularly arrive moldy.
This doesn't look like a bad pizza, this looks like someone ruined a different food and then decided to call it pizza.
Hey kid, society values you arms outstretched thiiiiis much :trump-feed:
back in the 80s and early 90s, we had that institutional pizza. it was like 3/8" thock, rectangle cut with melted mozzarella cheese over tomato sauce with quarter inch cubes of pork "pepperonis".
in special days we had "Mexican pizza" which was hexagonal cut, yellow cheese over ground beef.
both were insanely greasy and salty AF. I don't know where that pizza came from or where it went, but there was a time I would have housed it by the yard until my heart exploded.
