Lol that's a good meal compared to some of the pictures you see online

I was thinking exactly this. the waffle, nutritionally empty as it might be, makes it way better than I'd expect from an American school lunch.

That being said, you can practically see the Tyson lobbyist that put those chicken pieces on the menu there.

I was gonna say did we forget the whole attempt by michelle obama to at least get fruits and vegetables added to meals and portions changed so they could have pizza every day but it would be smaller/healthier.

the parents complained the schools would be starving the kids...keep in mind a lot of those schools have sold the lunch menu to someone for profit if the school itself isnt charging for meals.

I remember one bit in that (or a similar series) where he suggested that maybe the kids should be allowed to use real knives and forks instead of just being served food that they had to pick up with their hands.
The lady who ran the kitchen was utterly horrified and demanded written evidence that children in Britain were allowed to use metal knives in school.

Knife is a strong word when they're roughly as sharp as a spoon. That's why we bring in our own knives to school.

They once served us some sort of failed Hot Pockets experiment. It was in a plastic sleeve, like a 7-11 microwave burrito, but printed all over with Hot Pockets poo poo. It was kinda soggy instead of crisp, and it was filled with nacho cheese and hot dog pieces.

Sorry to continue the school food derail but you also have to consider that American kids pallettes aren't exactly prepared for stuff curry and miso soup. It's still an indictment of sorts but if they have to choose one meal (because they can't even afford alternate options) they have to make it as universally appealing as possible, therefore chicken nuggets and potato smileys or waffles. If you serve anything even remotely adventurous you run the risk of kids not eating at all because they don't like it. It was bleak two decades ago when I was in elementary school, I can't even imagine how much worse it's gotten since then.

Reminder that conservatives were literally angry because Mooch-Elle Obama's pet policy was she wanted kids to have healthier school lunches. They were legitimately loving enraged by it.

What's the purpose of school if not teaching children about stuff (like eating vegetables)?

American kids aren't so different than European kids. Sure if you ask kids in Europe what they want to eat they'll tell you chicken and fries. But hey, surprise, you don't get to decide what you eat when you are a kid!

We both know why that food tray is so dire and the answer is "privatizing"

Also check out the Japanese lunches posted above. The kids have chopsticks. You know, that children could poke in someone's eye :supaburn:

Sure, but nobody expects schools to serve kids fried chicken feet or sheep brain, curries and miso soup are typical Japanese stuff so presumably the american version would be something culturally acceptable. I don't remember what Jamie tried to make but you could just do like rice and baked chicken or something as unoffensive as that.

I don't know what the school lunches here are like nowadays but you'll often find kid's menu in restaurants and it's absolutely stuff like nuggets and fried cheese and what not.

And I kind of doubt privatizing is the problem. First in Jamie's school that seemed like an in-house operation, but even if not, you can have the vendors cook whatever the hell you ask for. We have catered events for customers and the food is very good, it just takes someone who gives a poo poo (and has the budget) to be making the decisions.

It's totally different a caterer cooking for your customers, family or employees, and an industrial company promising the cheapest meals possible for poor children the county gives no poo poo about.

And yes I know chicken and fries is on the kids menu in restaurants but:

-It's usually not the cheapest frozen industrial stuff served there
-You don't expect kids to eat the same thing every day.
-As mentioned above they could totally serve basic stuff like rice and baked chicken and kids would eat it.

But the industry wants schools to consume their cheap frozen poo poo so they can pocket the difference
