I always complained that cafeteria food in schools couldn't be any worse than food served in prison. I was just watching Supersize Me and here is what I found out.

Barbara Brown is the field representative for Sodexho, one of the countless lowest bidders that school districts have farmed out the feeding of your children to. Sodexho searves us more than 400 k-12 school districts nation wide everyday. Providing quality food like Little Debbie Snack Cakes, Gatoraid, and Candybars to your children. They also opperate prisons and feed thousands of inmates world wide.


So, either inmates are getting too good a lunch, or students aren't getting good enough a lunch. What do you think?

We have good days and bad days. I can't say that the food is horrible, but it could be better. But, what bugs me is that every Wednesday It's fishday. Fried fish, boiled-in-something-fish, fishbolls, undercooked fishsticks and so on...
Oh! And the milk is bad at least once a week.

right now at high-school it's pretty good, at elementary it was the worse and at middle it was moderate

it's funny how many people at my school buy milk even though there are 4 water fountains by the exits of the lunchroom

I personally like the lunches at our school, they are quite delicious and nicely served.

Again, another good thing about being homeschooled. No school lunches... =)

Yeah..but you're missing out on stuff too!
False firealarms, making out with someone in the bathroom, fighting, trowing water at someone, people flooding the school by letting the water run in every single restroom, getting send to the principal for setting a trashcan on fire etc
Aaahhh.. Good times! ;D

Agreed.

I agree that the first and second are fun, sort of, but I don't have many memories of fondness related to my school.

But the lunches where I went to were okay, I liked the food my mother packed me a lot better. But sometimes you have no choice, I had to eat at the cafeteria a few times.

I once influenced 3 people, who used to buy lunch every day, to switch to bringing their lunch after I showed them how you can get whatever you want. That was my best moment ever.

All of them are fun! ..trust me!

I honestly can't imagine being homeschooled. I'm so used to the whole get up in the morning, go to school, come home routine.
Now that I think about it...I really like school! I met 70% of all my friends there. The homework, tests and everything is a kinda annoying sometimes, but it has it's charm!

The food of my school suckssssssssssss.

If it is meat they give you bones and no meat.

If it is fish they give you a smaaaaaaaal fish.

Only one.

You can't ask for more, no desert.

Ohh and for those that are saying that the pizza tastes bad my school doesn't even serve pizza.

Only one time in a year.

And the pizza is pizza dough with tomato sauce.

-_-''

also, it really baffles me how it is possible that the paid staff working there do not even bother to taste the rice and realise it is still crunchy! really not cool...!
