the thing is, we've had veggie days since at least when i was a kid 20 years ago. back then, about once per week we'd get porridge and like, juice thickened with potato or corn starch. sounds lame but guess what? everyone loved it. now the political process is more transparent and the politicians, board of education or whoever is in charge of the menu actually tell us that they've made a decision to serve vegetarian food once per week, it's suddenly a big deal.

My UK school lunches were actually really tasty until I needed gluten free ones when I was like 8 and the lunch ladies were like do u like tuna which I did so I ate tuna just a can of tuna emptied on a plate with like potatoes or chips maybe 4 days every week until I couldn't look at tuna anymore. When I stopped going I got a talking to from the head lunch lady about how it was really rude of me because now they have all this loving tuna

hemophilia posted:The harpies got rid of the pizza and introduced 'salad' and other 'healthy' items but otherwise nothing changed about the food. That's the thing about "healthy" school lunches in the US.  "WE NEED HEALTHIER LUNCHES!"*Serves bland iceberg lettuce (which the kids cover in ranch dressing) and some cheap vegetable boiled to the point where it can't be considered solid food anymore* "WHY DON'T KIDS LIKE THE HEALTHY FOOD?"

Professor Shark posted:The schools that I teach in just give free breakfast to everyone. Oddly enough it's the poorer students who don't take advantage of it because they don't want to be seen as being poor, even if everyone is eating At my high school the buses arrived in the morning like 2 minutes before first period began, yet they served breakfast in the cafeteria every day. I always wondered who was eating it because most of us never had time. Faculty? Students with weird early morning things to do?

In grade school in Minneapolis, we had ridiculously bad food in the mid 80's. We used to get sliders with the bottom half soaked in grease and the top half too dry to eat. We also had Tony's pizzas and gas station burritos available every day. They tasted like death but we ate them any way. On days that they served mac and cheese, it was so bad that I was mocked by my peers for not having brought a lunch from home. Once we moved up north, the food improved tremendously. Those lunch ladies could make anything and everything out of commodities. We had homemade fried chicken and biscuits twice a week like clockwork and had an open campus so we could run downtown and eat with no questions asked. It was a different time

I went to school in Bumfuck Nowhere, Australia, which did not have a cafeteria area at all, each year group had a set area they were supposed to eat in. The canteen was a little brick shop window that you could buy poo poo from, or you could put in a 'lunch order' - you wrote what you wanted on a paper bag, put the money in the bag, and when you got the bag back at lunchtime it would have whatever food you ordered in it. The food was mostly restricted to toasted sandwiches, pies, and other unhealthy poo poo - they did have salads available but they were pretty much just a tub of grated carrot and iceburg lettuce that was now pink because they always slapped a couple of slices of beetroot on top. At one point they tried not selling pies and sausage rolls and offering healthy things, but the healthy things were more expensive so a lot of aboriginal population of the school just got no lunch as opposed to a kind of lovely lunch, so it went back to pies every day pretty quickly. The year after I graduated they did finish building a brand-new canteen with seating and a kitchen equipped with more than just a pie warmer and sandwich grill, but I have no idea what kinds of food they give out now. spud posted:Is that a loving Pinecone?
