Our school lunches where I work are a lot better then this but were also a petty good district in the state with decent funding.

Is there always so little of it? How is this considered food.๐ญ
Depends on where you live. Poor states with little support probably get lunches like this.
I've always thought that these can't be real. I know in the UK the school food is terrible, a lot like this I think, but to think that this is all the kids get breaks my heart. How is this sustinence?
Chilling to think how the austerity people are dismantling systems like this where I live. We still have free school food and it's still mostly very good and balanced food that you take yourself from a lunchline, as much as you need to be full. It's basic everyday real food, a protein, potatoes/rice/pasta and always a salad and for most schools there is also a vegan option. I used to substitute teach and the food was either very good or at least ok in every school I ever worked in.
Every kid deserves better.
The sun chips probably cost extra in the above pic. Going to school in the aughts it looked like this where I lived, decent school district.
Just fyi, this isn't even close to an exaggeration. Seems like a high-end representation of school lunches in America from my experience in school
