5000 subs with no videos lmao what grade are u in cause coming from a 12th grader once u in high school u don’t have time to pack anything for lunch 🤣🤣🤣
For real!!! I looked at some history on the school district I currently go to and within a couple years they defunded us of millions of dollars! No wonder everything keeps getting crappier every year. I honestly miss going to private school because there we were well taken care of and they made the lunches there and we got all this food that’s as hot and fresh from the kitchen. It was tasty too!!!
@@cloutelfin8323 devos, the head of the department of education owns a bunch of charter schools, bleeding public schools to push people to spend money on private ones. I see the appeal
Whatever they can cut they’ll cut. No doubt about it. In America we have two opposing beliefs. Property rights vs human rights. Would you rather have a few cents on a dollar taken from your most recent pay check or fifty dollars to pack your kid a nutritional lunch 5 days out of the week
Jeff Bezos needs to get his money somehow. Cutting your children’s lunches is the sacrifice American politicians are willing to make in order to give Jeff more tax breaks.
"alright kids, make sure to eat healthy" "oh cool! so your gonna give us an actually good lunch, right?" "uh..." "you, are going to give us a good lunch, right?"
The content and volume of food that kids get in a public school luncheon nowadays is absolutely shameful. I was so fortunate in the 60's-70's when I was in grade school in a Catholic school, our cafeteria cooks (older Slovak and Polish women) made everything from scratch...pizza, soups, bread, everything. They were awesome cooks, it was like eating a home cooked meal. Even my public high school had pretty good food then. What is going on now in public schools is disgusting.
We used to have real broiled lamb chops, fresh spinach...ugh, cabbage, fried chicken, fish and, of course, the obligatory mystery meat, among other favorites. Some food was bad but most was good. At my daughter's high school, they have vending machines and kids can go off campus for lunch. How times have changed.
I went to school during the same time period and you are absolutely right on. Lunches were practically home cooked meals. We also had the best cooks. It’s a disgrace what’s going on now.
I was in grade school from 1993-2006, and school lunches were already unappetizing during my entire K-12 years. Nowadays they are downright disgusting. I know pet owners who feed their dogs better food than what kids are getting in school cafeterias in the U.S.
I hate to say this as a nurse but I’m this case thank god for corona schools could careless and some teachers don’t even put in effort while getting paid to stay at home and do online teaching
Colleges care to a certain extent. because you're paying for it. And your voice matters. If a student feels like he's not being treated properly he simply calls a news agency. Or uploads videos about the College
I remember school lunches back in the day was a full meal and the "lunch ladies" made sure we had enough by even bringing home cooked food to the school. Which of course today would get them fired.
@@sammydunne.3796 That's because some parents just don't want to feed their kids the right kinds of foods. Just stuff that's loaded with fat, sugar, and salt. If you start giving good food to your kids when they're ready to eat solid food then those habits will follow them for the rest of their lives.
Kids can afford food? Since when did we revert child labor laws? It's the parents who can't afford to feed their kids. Seriously, people should not be allowed to have any children until they can demonstrate sufficient fiscal capability to care for the child. Then the whole problem of kids who are hungry going to school and getting their only meal of the day there would just go away on its own.
As from someone living in Eastern Europe, 80% of public schools don’t even serve kids meals, children get like a small carton of milk and some bread/biscuits
Heads up it's 2022 and this is still a thing. My nephew is an 8th grader in Kansas and when I found out what they serve these children... my heart broke. My mom had been a para in my school districe and she worked as a janitor in the summer at my school, so my brothers and I were well fed at school 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ My nephew doesn't have that same inside access. I didn't even realize my brothers and I were getting special treatment. My nephew now takes his lunch to school and I send him snacks also. These children wake at the butt crack of dawn and then they have standardized testing, peer pressure, school work, activities and still more school work... and we have the nerve to want them to do this all on an empty stomach with high energy and getting top grades?! That's ridiculous.
I'm fucking embarrassed right now. I volunteered to help elementary schools a few years ago in Honduras and their children have better meals than this, with meat entree, fresh vegetables, and rice
@@generalaccount6531 Fresh.. VEGETABLES? Lucky them! All I ever got was the "how-did-they-ruin-these" veggies. They were mushy and absolutely tasteless. Horrid. I don't know how they ruined VEGETABLES, those kids were lucky.
Let’s take this seriously. There are low income families that can’t feed their kids. School lunches are the only meal some kids eat that day. Absolutely disgusting!

Guess what, the world doesn’t revolve around you, just because you were born with the privilege to get food doesn’t mean everyone else is as lucky as you. Honestly the lack of brain cells you have makes me lose hope in humanity
@@danbeesley7184 also, don’t talk on my behalf. I have seen homelessness, poverty, people getting fired, kids without food, etc. I’m glad to have food and a shelter and I appreciate that because I have great parents that taught me to appreciate every small thing. How about be lucky that your un-derserving soul gets to live, while others do the hard work for you, go give your mom and dad a call or a hug. But judging by the amount of stupidity emanating from you suggests you didn’t have a guiding force in your life.
We had something we affectionately called "cardboard pizza" in elementary back in the 90s. If you want your kids to have a guaranteed healthy lunch, pack them one. Also, most kids aren't even going to eat the fruit or vegetable offered them. It's a sad truth. No one will police them and make sure it isn't wasted.
@@TimothyMorigeau It is, but it could be for a biological reason. At a younger age, while the brain is still developing, glucose is needed in higher quantities. So a child is actually pushed into consuming more sugar than usual. It's up to the parent to get the kid into the habit of getting that from the healthier source. Otherwise you end up with the cascading affect of junk food reliance.
@@robertsides3626 It’s possible it’s biological, but in my experience kids usually do that because mom and dad don’t encourage eating healthy. My mother told me a story not too long ago of how horrified she was 30 years ago to see my older brother’s daycare lunch. They served the kids brussel sprouts and mom cried knowing her 3 year old wouldn’t eat lunch that day. He wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch. He apparently spilled his cereal that morning so his first meal wouldn’t likely be until dinner. Mom had her own problems with nutrition so she fed us mostly TV dinners or food in a box. Lots of fast food too. My brother was always big and I was pretty tiny as a kid, underweight actually, but I became overweight and even obese into my teens. There were other factors involved, but mom’s unhealthy habits didn’t help. In contrast, a little cousin of mine loves fruit and raw vegetables and it’s because her mother has encouraged it from day 1. It really helps to teach kids nutrition young. All her kids actually eat fairly healthily. She’s fallen off it a bit as they’ve all aged and she’s had more children, but that push in the beginning towards teaching them nutrition helped her immensely. It seems it is possible to get children to enjoy healthy food. I’m still improving my own health and don’t have kids yet, but when (or if) I do, I’m definitely gonna teach healthy eating. To my mom’s credit, she did do her best to lose weight and improve her own habits in my teens. Probably because she saw how it was effecting me. She took me along too. I just refused to listen. She did her best. I wouldn’t improve my health until my mid 20s though.
I remember when I didn't have any lunch money, my school gave me a cheese sandwich. Genuinely, a couple of hamburger buns with a slice of Kraft cheese. It was enough to make you more hungry than you did without food. Quite a tease of a "Meal"... Thankfully, I usually could afford a regular school lunch which would usually have milk, fruit, veggies and a main course. Truth of the matter was that lots of kids couldn't afford regular school lunch, and they were only getting a cheese sandwich on a daily basis... I was disgusted by my schools reaction to children going hungry. At least add a couple of slices of sandwich meat.
The guidelines is not unhealthy. They do not meet the guidelines, and its just a guideline, not a requirement. This problem is similar to police brutality. And every other problem in the world. Its because the people in charge are dumb.
The key here is this is what the child took, not what the child was given. The kid can make better choices, but as a former kid, I probably wouldn’t have, either.
This isnt like abnormal for the US, this is why ppl should pack lunch (Edit: I am aware that school lunch could be the only real meal a child is getting if their family cannot afford to eat, but if you can afford to pack lunch it is often healthier and cheaper)
Not everyone has the money to pack a lunch everyday while also having food for dinner at home. For some kids school lunch is all they have to eat Monday-Friday
@@majesticsquares2213 yea I do realize this, but if you can afford it it is healthier and a better and often cheaper choice Edit: cheaper if you dont qualify for free lunch (sorry if that was confusing)
our schools don't allow packed lunch. I had to get a doctors note to allow my diabetic child to bring food for lunch plus be allowed to eat when sugar is low. alot of schools get money back off school lunches, they don't care about anything except money.
@@gavin2915 in my school we had like 4 vegetarians, and 2 vegans. They had special lunch food made just for them. During lent day the cafeteria would serve fish, or veggie pizza.
This is the reason why schools have "eat with your kids days". Its for parents to see how the school is treating them, and to make an informed decision, but also for teachers to see how kids react around their parents at mealtime. Food / mealtime is a very good indicator of the kids home life, and also how they interact around their parents
Yeah Jamie Oliver ruined school dinners in the UK. Don’t do it! There is zero unhealthy food now. Might as well send your kids to have lunch at a fat camp.
@@XTreme-ko9dw millionaires and billionaires don't need more money. Don't be daft. Poor people need money. If evey millionaire and billionaire just stoped and said "hey, I've got enough money. I don't want anymore" people in 3rd world countries will still be starving, and killing each other.
It’s almost as if we once had a First Lady who cared about this issue and wanted schools to provide quality nutritious lunches. Imagine demonizing a person for that and doing everything possible to overthrow her policies… well, anyway, here we are today.
As a former student in the 2000s, she made the lunches disgusting and a lot of kids threw out the food instead of eating it. They were far from nutritious and of “quality”.
@@micahlhenderson Well, there's your problem. She wasn't the First Lady in the 2000's. She was the First Lady in the 2010's, so I guess you never did try her school lunches.

@@strawberreez Mooch's kids never ate any of that slop while they attended school. Granted it was a private school but looking at the menu, it's an example of how all kids should be eating.
Uh yeah, we actually have more than we need to eat, although the food tastes bad. They don't do a very good job of cooking, in my opinion. I'm probably too used to eating home cooked meals my mom makes to suit my taste.
@@believe6089 yes, in my school it costs 60 pesos (1.25 dollars) and the food is delicious, there’s a cup of rice, the food you ordered, veggies on the side and soup 👌
This is why I pack my own lunch. They don't care about allergies, either. So annoying. Spend less time worrying about the dress code and start worrying about school lunches. For some kids, that's the only food they have for the whole day.
Right, some kids go home hungry but they just don’t say anything. All their parent/guardian can afford is for them to go to school but not much else. It’s sad to see schools acting this way
@@kennypenny5205 unless your my kid who plays multiple sports and its not getting enough in their body. Plus, I pay for the meal without being in any program and still have to provide my kid an extra lunch bag. Where does the rest of the money go?
Wow. This mother and her kids have a really nice house....so, can she afford to pack a nutricious lunch for her kids after dinner so they can take them to school the next morning? Well, now that she finally knows how dreadful the lunches are at her kid's school, she can now pack their lunches.
@edwin younes Most parents will say well it's probably not that bad your exaggerating even though a lot of kids at my school gets food poisoning my mom still says the food is fine.
*-HaPpY_ WiErDo-* this is exactly the same case with me, back in middle school my friend missed 3 days in school after he ate pizza and ravioli, he told me he felt horrible and then later we find out that 2 other kids had the same thing from another class on the same week
Kids after school: "I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."
I worked for a food distribution company for 13 years delivering food to various customers in Pennsylvania. I can tell you that most of what I delivered to many schools was breaded chicken nuggets, breaded chicken patties and pizza. I heard different cafeteria workers say that they watched many kids dump their vegetables, which the school was required to serve according to government standards, in the trash before they even sat down at a table to eat their lunch
When they use the excuse "it meets regulations" and they use the bare minimum what they're really saying is "We would give you less but legally we can't".
@NK Allday that’s partially true.. I used to live in a different state where lunch always ran out if you weren’t first in the line till I moved in California and school lunch didn’t have shortages at my current school. I still mainly pack food since it’s healthier and tastes better lol.
In m school we bed cake for dessert fruit or veggies optional and we get to choose a meal every day with pizza mash potatoes etc etc didn’t know how bad school was in the us
Im really happy that the kid mom is going to be sending him with a lunch. Shoutout to all the kids like me who needed to eat the school food, I ate 12 years of the stuff and I made it out okay, I hope you do too!! feed your self nice and well once you become an engineer!

I’m a custodian for a school district and it’s bullshit when they say they can only give them a cold lunch. I see so much food go in the trash straight from the kitchen. And most of the time any left over stuff like the burger patties or chicken things like that don’t get used for that days lunch gets put back in the freezer until the kitchen staff divides it up between themselves. No kid should be going without food especially at school. If you work for a school district then you should be there for those students no matter what. It’s about the kids and there safety.
You should report that to the school board at the next meeting but you need the proof and evidence to back up your claim. They'll listen to you but won't or can't do anything until you have proof.
Students in my city refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. I had 35 students, and I threw away 35 dinner trays the other day. Good food! They mostly eat Gatorade, cokes, and chips, and Takis. Most have rotten teeth.
@James Buscher In my city, the students refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. Most are illegals and need the nutrition. There bring Cokes and chips from home.
I was in grade school in the 70's and our school lunches at our little rural school house didn't look that appetizing. We mostly brought our own lunch but BFD! I learned to eat right at home from my parents. There are bigger issues with most of these "free" lunches being dumped in the trash and never touched. I have several friends that were teachers and they say it is disgusting the amount of food that is wasted.
The prison system gets $53,571.00 more per $100,000,000.00 that the public education system has. If you calculate prison system population divided by budget minus public education system population divided by budget. And from statistics the equation should look something like.. 2,500,000 divided by 200000000000 minus 50000000 divided by 700000000000 which should equal roughly 53571/100000000.
well whats easier? partnering with companies that take time or "healthier" us, the school lunch program that brings dried patties to school on refrigeration trucks
I like how the title says outraged but the lady is very calm and reasonably concerned about what is a super subpar standards for children from the school system
As Sakura said, she's making a face for television but is outraged. If she's making a coordinated effort to understand why the lunch is subpar and making a statement on the news about it, she is outraged.
I dont know how long a school day is in the USA but here we had 6 hours and I survived perfectly fine without eating anything. If a school day is longer in the US, than I would agree, thats a big problem
@@GuerinGrad09 When I was in jail we got three hot meals daily that came with a dessert. They were TV dinner quality. Was equal to if not better than a lot of the food I use to get in school depending on the meal.

They said that was the cold option, not that they weren't serving hot meals. The student in question simply didn't choose the hot option. That said, when I was in school, the cold option was a sandwich of some sort (whole grain bread with lunch meat and cheese or peanut butter and jelly) or a chef salad (vegetables, a hard boiled egg, lunch meant and cheese on a bed of lettuce), this in addition to the hot option which was anything from cheese pizza to a cheese burger (with heated canned veggies on the side).

@@nadominhoca I somewhat agree but since he is the current president, the criticism is valid.

To be fair... pizza CAN be healthy but it's all dependent on the ingredients put on. Obviously if its loaded with pepperoni and double cheese... not the best choice. But balance it with delicious vegetables, reduce the cheese slightly, and make it thin crust - you have a MUCH healthier pizza option. My apologies to Chicagoans everywhere but thin crust is life LOL
The ONLY time we ate relatively ok was when it was Thanksgiving, where they would give us some turkey, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, A roll, and a slice of pumpkin pie.
when I was in school I was always hungry about an hour after the "meal".... however I graduated around 2000... and that was long before these new guidelines came into play.
RedTEG same, they had me eating good bro. Cereal and milk an apple and a banana and some biscuits with jelly for breakfast, chicken Alfredo for lunch with peas and carrots and some bread rolls, dinner was some meatloaf type shit that was really good too with green beans mashed potatoes and rolls. Milk, juice, and water to drink at every meal, like shit I was only in there for a day but I was eating better than I feed myself 😂😂 the food in jail is 100 times better than school lunches
While on food stamps, I ensured I packed my daughter a lunch and a snack every single day even though we qualified for free school meals. I felt it was my responsibility as a parent to ensure I stretch the food stamps I was receiving to make healthy lunches for her.
Pathetic. When I was in school, lunches were complete hot meals, prepared on site in the school cafeteria/kitchen - an entree, vegetable, carb, milk, desert.
Unbelievable what school lunches look like today, when I was in elementary school I remember one of my lunches consisted of, peas, meatloaf, mashed potatos, and a roll....im 54 so this would have been around 1975-ish
I went to school in the 90s and we got a hot entree on one side, then fruit on the other, and a vegetable compartment, a pint of milk and a "dessert" item like an apple or orange, or even a cookie. Later in my tenure they started getting uppity about nutrition. Rolls became whole wheat rolls, perfect for the trash can. 2% milk became unhealthy, so only 1% milk was allowed. It was a busy time for the trash cans. I just didn't eat.
@@abigaildeeks8328 Oh, you're sure, huh? I was hungry too.

The only things you know about me is what I've told you. Maybe just don't comment about me, it would suit you.
@@HunterShows Wouldn't that make you a bit ungrateful. I understand that maybe you didn't prefer the taste, but that doesn't make them uppity about nutrition, it just makes them want to be bit healthier. changing to 1% and whole wheat rolls is not bad at all. You make it seem as if they were getting completely lazy. They were actually trying to do a good thing from what you say and Abigail is right, it does come off like you had a horrible attitude by bragging about throwing it out. You should have just brought your own food then instead of wasting it as it could ahve been less waste and gone to actual people who would eat it.
One of the reasons, next to being able to survive on my own, for learning how to cook and prep meals was my abysmal school food options. (Well, compared to what I was used to from home) As soon as I was allowed to leave the school premises during longer breaks, I used that as an opportunity to get myself something real from nearby supermarkets. That is, if I didn’t already bring my own stuff I prepped at home. School lunch was always: Mondays: spaghetti with a „bolognese“ sauce. Thing is, the sorry excuse for the sauce tasted like sweet-sour sauce with some low quality meat and some canned tomatoes Wednesdays: potato gratin; it existed in 2 states, either it was piping hot and you were unable to take a bite lest you severely burn your mouth. Or it was cold. There was no state in between. Also the „Béchamels“ sauce tastes purely like fat, and the whole thing was salty af Thursdays: Pommes frites. You think they can’t botch that, didn’t ya? Wrong! They added the seasoning on top of a fresh batch, and only made one mixing motion once. So your frites were either fatty potatoes or salty bricks (because you couldn’t scrape of enough or mix what you got so everything gets coated evenly) Tuesdays and fridays were „short“ days, so no lunch. We once had a student newspaper trying to do an expose style story about the cafeteria and how a lot of pupils found long hairs in heir food all the time…..buuuuuuuut the administration got wind of it and forced them to rip out the story about the cafeteria or they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the papers on campus 🙃 Yet, after all…I still feel like it wasn’t that bad looking at what the kids in America are getting xD Cheers from Germany
Some children in our community depends on school meals some parents don’t make enough to cover food expenses we need to know families are not the same many families are struggling to feed their kids instead of complaining we need to be thankful at least the kids have something to eat for day whether is school meals or home meals god bless America my home sweet home ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌝🌝🌝🌝👍👍👍👍
Lol that’s like 10x better than what I get on a daily basis especially cus of the pandemic. At this point my lunch usually consists of a fruit cup or canned tangerines (or have a slice of pizza if there are truly no other options) with juice.
I remember eating school lunches would physically hurt my stomach. Shit was fucked, also there was chicken sandwiches with a weird pink sludge and just old ass foods.
I had bubble guts after lunch everyday.. try taking a test when your stomach is not happy and everyone can hear it.. whatever they put in that screwed my stuff up
Damn bro, that’s a wild assumption. The lunch ladies at my high school were fit, some looked malnourished and they would even put money from their pockets into the school meal budget just to make sure they hit quota. The real question is why are inmates being fed to the point where they can build muscle? You know how much calorie intake you need to build and maintain bulk?
@@trenth.7053 that’s unfortunate bro, also depends on your school’s overall academic performance. The schools that have a higher score on SATs and GPA collectively get a bump in their budget.
@@deanstewart2382 public schools aren't a business. They are a government facility that is responsible for the well-being of the children present, and they are failing that job.
@@duncreg As a child who needs a big calorie intake to grow, would you want to eat some chemical bomb cheese itz and some random brand of low quality raisins for lunch everyday, sure the law plays a role, but there are multiple meals that are cheap easy and follow those guidelines that would be 100% more beneficial
When I was in grade school there wasn’t a cafeteria in the school. I had to bring my own lunch to school from 1st grade through 8th grade. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwich with dessert some kind. I always get milk at school to drink during lunch. I remembered the teacher always get a chocolate milk to drink. I know that my meal wasn’t healthy. The same with my sister with the same. We had a hot dog day once a month in those grades of school. We get a hot dog with a bag of potato chips, and a cup of vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good meal. I remembered putting ice cream on a potato chip and it was good.

I remember school lunches back in the day was a full meal and the "lunch ladies" made sure we had enough by even bringing home cooked food to the school. Which of course today would get them fired.

@@sammydunne.3796 That's because some parents just don't want to feed their kids the right kinds of foods. Just stuff that's loaded with fat, sugar, and salt.
If you start giving good food to your kids when they're ready to eat solid food then those habits will follow them for the rest of their lives.
Celeste Keenan still could’ve kept the twizzlers tho
This is actually sad cause some kids who can’t afford food come to school just to get the food
Your rock lee g if you dont eat for 3 days you'll do 3000 laps to make up for it come on man i expected more
Kids can afford food? Since when did we revert child labor laws? It's the parents who can't afford to feed their kids. Seriously, people should not be allowed to have any children until they can demonstrate sufficient fiscal capability to care for the child. Then the whole problem of kids who are hungry going to school and getting their only meal of the day there would just go away on its own.

As from someone living in Eastern Europe, 80% of public schools don’t even serve kids meals, children get like a small carton of milk and some bread/biscuits
Heads up it's 2022 and this is still a thing. My nephew is an 8th grader in Kansas and when I found out what they serve these children... my heart broke. My mom had been a para in my school districe and she worked as a janitor in the summer at my school, so my brothers and I were well fed at school 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ My nephew doesn't have that same inside access. I didn't even realize my brothers and I were getting special treatment. My nephew now takes his lunch to school and I send him snacks also. These children wake at the butt crack of dawn and then they have standardized testing, peer pressure, school work, activities and still more school work... and we have the nerve to want them to do this all on an empty stomach with high energy and getting top grades?! That's ridiculous.
Get them out of the public school system!! They'll learn better and eat better. Government schools hate you and they hate your kids!
I heard they serve better food in jail.
Well you paid for it right ...oh wait.

But judging by the amount of stupidity emanating from you suggests you didn’t have a guiding force in your life.
The worst part about this is the mother is unaware what her son is eating every day at school. 😢
We had something we affectionately called "cardboard pizza" in elementary back in the 90s. If you want your kids to have a guaranteed healthy lunch, pack them one. Also, most kids aren't even going to eat the fruit or vegetable offered them. It's a sad truth. No one will police them and make sure it isn't wasted.
It is sad that a lot of kids do only like junk food. And will throw away fruits and veggies.
@@TimothyMorigeau It is, but it could be for a biological reason. At a younger age, while the brain is still developing, glucose is needed in higher quantities. So a child is actually pushed into consuming more sugar than usual. It's up to the parent to get the kid into the habit of getting that from the healthier source. Otherwise you end up with the cascading affect of junk food reliance.
@@robertsides3626 It’s possible it’s biological, but in my experience kids usually do that because mom and dad don’t encourage eating healthy. My mother told me a story not too long ago of how horrified she was 30 years ago to see my older brother’s daycare lunch. They served the kids brussel sprouts and mom cried knowing her 3 year old wouldn’t eat lunch that day. He wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch. He apparently spilled his cereal that morning so his first meal wouldn’t likely be until dinner.
Mom had her own problems with nutrition so she fed us mostly TV dinners or food in a box. Lots of fast food too. My brother was always big and I was pretty tiny as a kid, underweight actually, but I became overweight and even obese into my teens. There were other factors involved, but mom’s unhealthy habits didn’t help.
In contrast, a little cousin of mine loves fruit and raw vegetables and it’s because her mother has encouraged it from day 1. It really helps to teach kids nutrition young. All her kids actually eat fairly healthily. She’s fallen off it a bit as they’ve all aged and she’s had more children, but that push in the beginning towards teaching them nutrition helped her immensely. It seems it is possible to get children to enjoy healthy food. I’m still improving my own health and don’t have kids yet, but when (or if) I do, I’m definitely gonna teach healthy eating.
To my mom’s credit, she did do her best to lose weight and improve her own habits in my teens. Probably because she saw how it was effecting me. She took me along too. I just refused to listen. She did her best. I wouldn’t improve my health until my mid 20s though.
I remember seeing bananas, oranges, and tomatoes in the vegetables section

I remember when I didn't have any lunch money, my school gave me a cheese sandwich. Genuinely, a couple of hamburger buns with a slice of Kraft cheese. It was enough to make you more hungry than you did without food. Quite a tease of a "Meal"... Thankfully, I usually could afford a regular school lunch which would usually have milk, fruit, veggies and a main course. Truth of the matter was that lots of kids couldn't afford regular school lunch, and they were only getting a cheese sandwich on a daily basis... I was disgusted by my schools reaction to children going hungry. At least add a couple of slices of sandwich meat.
School’s response: “We are doing the bare minimum required by law. What else do you want?”

@@coolminer1231 It was too little. It was just one box of raisons when the correct nutritional value should have been the 5 boxes he held up.
The key here is this is what the child took, not what the child was given. The kid can make better choices, but as a former kid, I probably wouldn’t have, either.
This is why I always made our daughter’s lunch for school to this day I do it for our daughter.

This is the reason why schools have "eat with your kids days". Its for parents to see how the school is treating them, and to make an informed decision, but also for teachers to see how kids react around their parents at mealtime. Food / mealtime is a very good indicator of the kids home life, and also how they interact around their parents

What’s the point of having the food guidelines if it’s “OKAY” if they just follow 3 out of 5 guidelines, which are the cheapest routes.
Over population... open borders... high military budget... what else do you want?!!
@CloudyGaming Tell that to Jamie Oliver...
@therealman Yeah.... Food in public schools are being criticized for generations, yet its Trump's fault again.....
I am not even a Trump supporter, but the obsession the Left has towards this man, is something to be studied.... That will give him another 4 years. Mark my words...
@@nadominhoca I somewhat agree but since he is the current president, the criticism is valid. I'm not american but from what I could tell, the school lunches seem to have been this bad for YEARS which means he hasn't really put much effort into changing it. He's the most powerful man in the country, he has the ability to change things up 🤷🏽♀️ People have the right to criticise him for current issues, and any other future president as well
@therealman that rhymes-
School: No chips, that's not healthy for you.
Also school: Here have a pizza.
my school: HeALthY eAtINg
also my school: pizza 💖
To be fair... pizza CAN be healthy but it's all dependent on the ingredients put on. Obviously if its loaded with pepperoni and double cheese... not the best choice. But balance it with delicious vegetables, reduce the cheese slightly, and make it thin crust - you have a MUCH healthier pizza option. My apologies to Chicagoans everywhere but thin crust is life LOL
AJR 1986 Half the time my schools pizza is greasy as hell.
You mean "pizza"
My school sold chips before they closed!
This is 1 reason why most kids don't want to go to school.
I dare the school district to compare their school lunches to a weekly menu from the nearest prison.
Lets be honest, the school system's food is gourmet pet food.
Gourmet pet food is better than that crap
Fuck that, i would be concerned for my dog's health if i fed him what i ate at school
The ONLY time we ate relatively ok was when it was Thanksgiving, where they would give us some turkey, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, A roll, and a slice of pumpkin pie.
My mother told me the package of the meat they served had the same name as a popular pet food.
I wouldn't even feed my doggo that
my school literally serves brown pizza. like the cheese is dark brown
@@blitz8625 omg
it's reheated
I bring my own lunch , Vegetable Salad , Sandwich and Water , 100x better than school lunch.
hi there my school serves brown grain wheat gluten free dark yellow cheese pizza and they're pepperonis are older then the civil war like
My school literally takes pineapples from fruit cups and put it's on a pizza and doesn't cook it fully and say it's not that bad
when I was in school I was always hungry about an hour after the "meal".... however I graduated around 2000... and that was long before these new guidelines came into play.
FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICES!
People saying that school food is like prison food
9 year old me: *"sChOoL iS pRiSoN"*
31 year old me: "Yeah, school was DEFINITELY prison."
I thought prison food were better than school food
RedTEG same, they had me eating good bro. Cereal and milk an apple and a banana and some biscuits with jelly for breakfast, chicken Alfredo for lunch with peas and carrots and some bread rolls, dinner was some meatloaf type shit that was really good too with green beans mashed potatoes and rolls. Milk, juice, and water to drink at every meal, like shit I was only in there for a day but I was eating better than I feed myself 😂😂 the food in jail is 100 times better than school lunches
It was if ya was in public school
I was on a private school so its not prison xD.
While on food stamps, I ensured I packed my daughter a lunch and a snack every single day even though we qualified for free school meals. I felt it was my responsibility as a parent to ensure I stretch the food stamps I was receiving to make healthy lunches for her.
good mom :)
Now that is what I call an epic chad of a person
You're the type of people who make me have hope for this fallen kingdom of a planet
You're an amazing person.
Good parenting 100%
Some people don't qualify for foodstamps and have a hard time with money as it is. Be thank you have that help....
Pathetic. When I was in school, lunches were complete hot meals, prepared on site in the school cafeteria/kitchen - an entree, vegetable, carb, milk, desert.
I think it's about time for parents to get together and pay for better lunches.
School: Whole wheat? Here then, one WHOLE wheat
*a single stalk of wheat on a lunch tray*
Too expensive.
Go with unprocessed grains. Just half a cup.
Ever waste an entire 3.50 on a whole wheat rice crispy when they neglected to tell you?
Unbelievable what school lunches look like today, when I was in elementary school I remember one of my lunches consisted of, peas, meatloaf, mashed potatos, and a roll....im 54 so this would have been around 1975-ish
My tiny district still cooks a hot lunch on site for the kids which is pretty incredible nowadays.
I went to school in the 90s and we got a hot entree on one side, then fruit on the other, and a vegetable compartment, a pint of milk and a "dessert" item like an apple or orange, or even a cookie.
Later in my tenure they started getting uppity about nutrition. Rolls became whole wheat rolls, perfect for the trash can. 2% milk became unhealthy, so only 1% milk was allowed. It was a busy time for the trash cans. I just didn't eat.
@@HunterShows That’s a horrible attitude when people are hungry. I’m sure u still toss stuff out that doesn’t meet your unhealthy standards
@@abigaildeeks8328 Oh, you're sure, huh? I was hungry too. I'm sure you spend your days making wild unsubstantiated judgments on people based on stories they themselves confided to you about their distant past. That's what you're doing now, bitch.
The only things you know about me is what I've told you. Maybe just don't comment about me, it would suit you.
@@HunterShows Wouldn't that make you a bit ungrateful. I understand that maybe you didn't prefer the taste, but that doesn't make them uppity about nutrition, it just makes them want to be bit healthier. changing to 1% and whole wheat rolls is not bad at all. You make it seem as if they were getting completely lazy. They were actually trying to do a good thing from what you say and Abigail is right, it does come off like you had a horrible attitude by bragging about throwing it out. You should have just brought your own food then instead of wasting it as it could ahve been less waste and gone to actual people who would eat it.
One of the reasons, next to being able to survive on my own, for learning how to cook and prep meals was my abysmal school food options. (Well, compared to what I was used to from home)
As soon as I was allowed to leave the school premises during longer breaks, I used that as an opportunity to get myself something real from nearby supermarkets. That is, if I didn’t already bring my own stuff I prepped at home.
School lunch was always:
Mondays: spaghetti with a „bolognese“ sauce. Thing is, the sorry excuse for the sauce tasted like sweet-sour sauce with some low quality meat and some canned tomatoes
Wednesdays: potato gratin; it existed in 2 states, either it was piping hot and you were unable to take a bite lest you severely burn your mouth. Or it was cold. There was no state in between. Also the „Béchamels“ sauce tastes purely like fat, and the whole thing was salty af
Thursdays: Pommes frites. You think they can’t botch that, didn’t ya? Wrong! They added the seasoning on top of a fresh batch, and only made one mixing motion once. So your frites were either fatty potatoes or salty bricks (because you couldn’t scrape of enough or mix what you got so everything gets coated evenly)
Tuesdays and fridays were „short“ days, so no lunch.
We once had a student newspaper trying to do an expose style story about the cafeteria and how a lot of pupils found long hairs in heir food all the time…..buuuuuuuut the administration got wind of it and forced them to rip out the story about the cafeteria or they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the papers on campus 🙃
Yet, after all…I still feel like it wasn’t that bad looking at what the kids in America are getting xD
Cheers from Germany
Some children in our community depends on school meals some parents don’t make enough to cover food expenses we need to know families are not the same many families are struggling to feed their kids instead of complaining we need to be thankful at least the kids have something to eat for day whether is school meals or home meals god bless America my home sweet home ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌝🌝🌝🌝👍👍👍👍
*The cold plate sounds like something that would be served at a prison*
Lol that’s like 10x better than what I get on a daily basis especially cus of the pandemic. At this point my lunch usually consists of a fruit cup or canned tangerines (or have a slice of pizza if there are truly no other options) with juice.
@@mehmeh5615 true true
Even worse that prison barf food HAVE nutrition.
This is luxury compared to what I’m used to.
Prisons serve more food than that.
I remember eating school lunches would physically hurt my stomach. Shit was fucked, also there was chicken sandwiches with a weird pink sludge and just old ass foods.
Y'all had that too?! I thought it was just my school
They served these mini cheeseburgers at my school and I would always find chopped up bones in the patties
I had bubble guts after lunch everyday.. try taking a test when your stomach is not happy and everyone can hear it.. whatever they put in that screwed my stuff up
Yes my school “hotdog” meant didn’t even looked like hotdog my mom saw the lunch once it was literally green slop
@Bobs Ssj yes
Remember, this is the same country that allows teachers to get lunch from the lunchroom that is supposed to be for the students.
This is better than the beef slop I was given in elementary.
Gee I always wondered why the lunch ladies looked so big.
LMFAO
Lmao
Damn bro, that’s a wild assumption. The lunch ladies at my high school were fit, some looked malnourished and they would even put money from their pockets into the school meal budget just to make sure they hit quota. The real question is why are inmates being fed to the point where they can build muscle? You know how much calorie intake you need to build and maintain bulk?
@@HeavyMetalBallz Mine are evil. Grade School lunch ladies were my pals, but they feed us awful stiff in High School and they mean to us all the time.
@@trenth.7053 that’s unfortunate bro, also depends on your school’s overall academic performance. The schools that have a higher score on SATs and GPA collectively get a bump in their budget.
It's pretty pathetic that they're more concerned with ticking off some arbitrary list than providing a well composed, nutricious meal.
Food doesn't materialize out of thin air. The list isn't "arbitrary"; it's the law.
And one more component..
Money!
Schools have a budget like every other business.
@@deanstewart2382 public schools aren't a business. They are a government facility that is responsible for the well-being of the children present, and they are failing that job.
@@duncreg As a child who needs a big calorie intake to grow, would you want to eat some chemical bomb cheese itz and some random brand of low quality raisins for lunch everyday, sure the law plays a role, but there are multiple meals that are cheap easy and follow those guidelines that would be 100% more beneficial
@@deanstewart2382 they get government funding lmfao
When I was in grade school there wasn’t a cafeteria in the school. I had to bring my own lunch to school from 1st grade through 8th grade. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwich with dessert some kind. I always get milk at school to drink during lunch. I remembered the teacher always get a chocolate milk to drink. I know that my meal wasn’t healthy. The same with my sister with the same. We had a hot dog day once a month in those grades of school. We get a hot dog with a bag of potato chips, and a cup of vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good meal. I remembered putting ice cream on a potato chip and it was good.
This is not the only way school districts cut corners. And then they wonder why parents want to get their kids out of public schools.
