Everyone from teachers to medical professionals say that kids who eat a nutritious school lunch not only have less trouble focusing in class, they also carry over their good eating habits into adulthood. So how healthy are America’s school lunches, compared to the international competition? According to sweetgreen, the United States falls somewhat short.
9. USA
The National School Lunch Program is designed to provide kids with low-cost, nutritionally balanced meals based on guidelines from the USDA. Of course, the prohibitive size of the United States means that when the lunches finally end up in front of the kids, they look like this.
8. Spain
Spanish school children are actually given shrimp as part of the state’s school lunch program. Something that would never make an appearance in an American lunch, followed by a side dish of peppers, gazpacho, and a seeded roll. There’s also half an orange for dessert.
7. Ukraine
Even in Ukraine, the kids are given a lunch that looks far fresher than the American example. In addition to some sausage and mashers, kids are given a cup of borscht, pickled cabbage, and a sweet pancake for dessert. It’s still better-looking than USA’s chicken nuggets.
6. Greece
Greek school kids eat a meal of fresh baked chicken on a bed of orzo. On the side, they’re given a cucumber and tomato salad, stuffed grape leaves, a yogurt with pomegranate seeds. For dessert, they’re given two cute, little oranges with the leaves still attached.
5. South Korea
South Korean school kids are able to enjoy a meal that’s heavily based on rice and cabbage. In addition, the children are given fresh peppers and steamed broccoli as well as a steaming cup of fish soup and green onions.
4. Brazil
Brazilian students might just have the most delicious school lunches on the planet. A main course of rice and black beans is coupled with pork, peppers and coriander. On the side, they’re given green salad and a seeded roll with baked plantains for dessert.
3. France
In France, the kids are given a little feast that would run good money at a nice restaurant in the States. In addition to a slice of rare steak, seasoned carrots, and green beans, French school children are actually given a nice chunk of brie for lunch. That decadent flavor is complemented with fresh fruit for dessert.
2. Finland
The schools in Finland skew vegetable heavy. The children are looking at a delicious pea soup, a crusty roll, seasoned carrots, and beetroot salad. Once they’ve plowed through the beets, they can turn their attention to a sweet pancake and berries
1. Italy
It’d almost be a national embarrassment if Italian school children weren’t fed a mouth-watering meal, right? Pasta with fish, two kinds of salad including one beautiful-looking caprese, a bread roll, and fresh grapes for desert.
Delizcioso.
What School Dinners are served in your country?

usa has the worst lunches. They dont even try to make it look presentable
hahaha,romanians have milk and bread and nobody eats it,everyone brings food from home
Schools have no choice over the matter. See my other comment.
Actually indonesia is the most worst....they dont give lunch to student
Nah sweden has the worse cuz the food is produced in factories where they make wheele chairs and all kind of stuff
WE EAT MILK FOR BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH
In France, meals are served on plates.
@2SuperBFFs yes that's true. One plate for the entrée one for main course and one for dessert if needed.
and real fork and knife
We literally have bagged milk,styrofoam plates,and plastic forks SKSKSKSKSK SAVE DA TURTLES AMERICA
Thibaud w
AAA THEY EVEN GET SERVED ON PLATES!!
Yeah that is the same for the hole of europe
I live in America and I agree we should have different lunches
Spirit Wing omg I'm crying the other foods look so freaking amazing, delicious, and tasty 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 but at least we still get to eat at least something, right?
You are so right lol!
Spirit Wing lol
If only all the students in america would protest like the teachers did lmao
I still want America good
The sad thing is, many kids in my country (Finland) complain about the balanced and tasty school lunches (which are always free of charge) and dream of fatty pizza slices and processed chicken nuggets.
Haha, exactly. In France you get fries once a month and it's the joy of kids! It's crazy to allow kids to eat the worst kind of junk food every day. Also, it seems the food price is 2-4x lower in US public schools than in French public schools (1$50 vs 4€50).
This is not sad, lmao, it's only normal for kids to want to eat what they like the most... Which in many cases mean junk food and such. I'm not saying it's healthy, it's just that kids don't usally have the same level of understanding about food as many adults do.
I’ll gladly swap with them they can have my smelly fish sticks and unwashed salad
Hahaha... send them to africa!
So true. I also live in Finland and I really appriciate that we have healthy and nutritionus lunches provided by the school!
As an Italian, I can confirm that we have great lunches, only that it served on plates and actually we have a first and second course and a dessert. Plus we have a menu that is different on each day, and during festivities we have special menu(that are my favorite), for example we get a small chocolate Easter egg each.
Weird because I'm Italian too and in my region (Sicily) we have nothing like that. The school lunches here suck. Maybe in some school they are decent but nothing like the ones this video described.
@@weary6109 I think it depends on the school you go to. I went to school in Milan and my lunches were pretty nice.
I live in America and once the only thing that I had for lunch was a tiny little calzone (which is like pizza but the crust is a little bit different) and syrupy canned peach slices, and that was all they served us. It was good, but I was still as hungry when I left the cafeteria as when I arrived in the cafeteria. It's really sad how they feed us in America. :(
It's not bc my school's poor either bc this past year my school gave everyone in my school free touchscreen lenovo chromebooks and also right before school let out, they put very nice 85" TVs in every classroom. The TVs are also touchscreen. My school is actually kind of rich, and it's also in a more expensive area of my town. My school just chooses to feed us garbage. It's rlly sad that some people that go to my school are poor and the school lunches are sometimes their only meal in a whole year.
Ma a che scuola andate? Cioè qua a caserta o ti facevi il panino co la mortadella nei 5 minuti di pranzo in classe o restavi a digiuno
For the french meal, they forgot the most important part: “the bread”. There is always bread. The bread in French is so good that I used to stack a bunch in my pocket during lunch time and ate them later. And there is always an entree like a salad, then the main meal, then the cheese, then the dessert (a fruit, or some kind of cake, or yogurt). And it is serve on plates and not tray. If you’re in kindergarten or elementary school, you also have a soup.
In the US, I noticed that some kids only have a small peanut butter or cheese sandwich with a juice/milk for lunch. It won’t never be allowed in France. The only thing that I hated in France was Friday because every Friday they serve Fish as the main dish and I hate fish.
Quand le menu était dégueulasse, on avait au moins le pain...
Plus c'est tout le dos de colin pour moi et en plus quand c'est frits c'est pas croustillant
@Epic gamer me too! 😤😤✨
Je prenais plein de pain pour quand j'aurais faim plus tard x)
Quand je l'oubliais, je le mangeais chez moi ou je le passais à ma mère et elle pouvait le mettre dans la soupe ou que sais-je !
Vive le pain de la cantine >~
Oh lucky. I was fortunate enough to always have home lunch, but the school lunches were DISGUSTING. Stale, cardboard like pizza, soggy chicken nuggets, sugary juices and old fruit.
I am a teacher in South Korea and all of my students are currently telling me that they have never eaten this meal for school lunch. The only thing that was accurate was the Kimchi.
@@mariampupu3728 I can't tell if you're being serious or not- but I'm quite sure it's North (not South) Korea where internet access is limited.
South Korea Food is DELICIOUS. USA, just gives bad junkfood.
Paint Waves. Well in my school the lunch isn’t really all junk food but there is definitely some junk food. Most of the food is really bad but every Wednesday we get dominos Cheese and pepperoni pizza(sometimes BBQ chicken pizza too, but the pizza arrives in the morning. So it’s not as good). But something that I always loved was the Sandwich Bar. You could choose Your bread(my favorite was the Pretzel bun), meat(included bacon too)lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, etc. You would also have the option to toast your sandwich and you would be given a bag of chips of your choosing. BUT, I have one last thing, we have this thing called the “O La Carte” which is definitely all junk. It has ice cream, chips, donuts, cookies, Rice Krispie treats, fruit roll ups, hot chocolate, popcorn, warm soft pretzels, and juices. And this was in middle school.
I was about to comment the same thing. I taught in South Korea for 5 years, both in Daegu and Busan. The elementary school nor university I taught at ever had lunch like that. The only thing that was accurate was the kimchi.
@@mariampupu3728 okay but you need a grammar and spelling book
it's North Korea that has no internet access
In Finland you never have plates like those, and usually you get dessert only on special day, and same on bread. You get rye crisp bread normally.
bruh finally somebody who understoods
Yea the dessert here in spain is normally fruit then 1 day in the month we get donuts icecream or yougurt
Exactly!
I'm from Brazil and I've never seen such a school meal like that lol, maybe on the richest private schools. Public schools are more likely to give you rice, beans, soy meat and maybe a salad
Not really. Mine (a regular public high) had rice and beans some meat (beef, from the cheapeast cuts of course ),or pasta, salad and always fruit or other desert. When I attended the morning classes, there where some sort of breakfast too, even if just a coffee whit milk and biscuits. The classes weren't that good, and the building quite old. But the food was ok.
nunca vi carne de soja em escola
@@aloneaflameaflower Em SP capital dava constantemente carne de soja na escola municipal
@@lucianojunior1531 queria que na minha cidade tivesse, por aqui é uma carne moída aguada com gosto de peixe 🥲
2:05 what??? lmao in brazil they don’t even serve lunch sometimes because there’s no money. it’s usually spaghetti and chicken or rice and beans... that’s it.
Honestly, I have never seen fresh berries in finnish school cafe, ever. Ones in soup that seem like they may have been fresh before they were made one yes, but fresh no. Otherwise meal was pretty much what could be seen here even in 1990's I was at school. So if Brazil decorated the truth "a little bit" so did everyone else. Unless they have introduced fresh berries to menu during past 20 years but I doubt, because at 90's we were at our richest and berries cost a ton.
I have a feeling this guy just looked up “__ school lunch” and grabbed the first picture
save bandit! Im Brazilian and it depends a lot, depends of the school and the region, sometimes we had a great lunch similar to that pic, and sometimes we have pasta and chicken but with beans, rice and salad.. each day is a different thing
Kuchi Kopi Yes Im not complaining about it, I was born in Brazil but I live in the US but I never buy my lunch at school cause it’s disgusting
In my school we were served lunch everyday but we were a bit poor to but the lunches were sooo good. It was amazing compared to food in the UK.
Where's Japan?
They have one of the lowest child obesity rates because of how healthy their school lunches are.
And they are even presentable!
Because Japan has MSG is found in all kinds of foods in Japan. It is sold as "Ajinomoto" which is both a company name and the catch-all word for MSG. That's bad for the kids, in South Korea the food is made fresh organic and nutritious healthy. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, non-GMO, etc... all those goodies for the kids.
@@legionnaire4548 Yet Japan has 1 of the highest life expectancy in the World lmfao. Try again.
Phyzics Sanctuary goodluck learning the language 😌
I think it has more to do with the general culture regarding food in that country than school lunches.
And actually HOMEMADE
American school lunches is merely just a step up from prison lunches.
God forbid the school hire proper cooks instead of kitchen staff that is a step down from working at macdonalds. I swear all the food is delivered in big boxes, heated and served. And they tried to get the kids to eat fresh vegetables and fruit but if they aren’t taught to enjoy that from young, they aren’t going to touch it at school. When many american kids eat school lunches and complain... it’s almost ridiculous because a lot of them go home to eat the same crap too. I heard one kid rave that it was his lucky day that he got pizza for lunch at school and also got it again at home for dinner. They honestly don’t know better and some parents complain about the school lunch quality and yet be the same ones that serve food that come from a frozen bag and heated in a skillet.
Actually I took a street law class back in the day where we took a field trip to one of the nearby prisons Dominguez State prison(Texas) to be exact. we ate lunch there and it was actually pretty damn good. It was chicken fried chicken mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was very fresh.
my high school actually uses the same company that serves prisons so it is exactly the same as prison food
if anyone is curious, the company's name is: Sodexo
unfortunately , it really isn't the schools lunch as much as the USDA's standards that the schools follow. Did you know that 4oz of salsa counts a vegetable and that pizza is a full meal because the grain from the crust, the vegetables from the sauce and the "meat substitute" from the cheeze makes a balanced meal?? Look into it, it's a bit horrifying
Well prison food in other countries is also better than American prison food.
@@allhailhailey9743 The USDA is wrong in it's standards! It (along with other alphabet agencies) is politicized with government bureaucrats who don't know what healthy nutrition really is. Worse is how low the caloric values are for the food since growing children need to have a higher caloric intake.
When the United State’s lunches were made to be “healthier” they kept the same unhealthy food but gave less of it. Then students weren’t eating healthy and were still hungry.
This!!
I hate that this is true, and if it's unhealthy then can they at least make it taste half edible
Ok, people. Don't tell me you believe in this video 😂 this is famous clickbait and just really fake. I live in Brazil, for example, and we don't even have lunch at school! Use common sense, people, these lunches are too exaggerated just to make Americans mad. If you want to get accurate information, go research yourself
Finlands one was correct though and applies whole country, but they had decorated it with fresh berries which are impossible to use this far in North in industrial cafeteria.
I also live in greece and that food is not what we eat.We eat τυρόπιτα (cheess pie but not like the american)Chocolate , croisant with chocolate and we dont have a cafeteria
Finland was quite correct tho.
Eu também sou do Brasil e morei aí a maioria da minha vida, but in my old school (a horrible school btw) and i went to school for the whole day (you could choose to go the whole day like in American school or just the usual 5 hours that most schools have) and i always ate lunch in school, but it was like an a la carte, and the school lunches were complete (rice, beans, meat, feijoada, etc) but it was still nothing like the video showed
I´am also from Brazil and I have a similar lunch from de video at my school. I don´t know if that depends of which state you are, mine is São Paulo
1:14 is a 5 star American school lunch that definitely is not everywhere you go maybe private schools
iOwn Squidz
Look. At. The. Nuggets. 😭
My public school in the USA would probably only have half of that amount of food, in much worse condition.
At most we get 5 nuggets four to 8 fries or tater tots and milk
Public school students understand the hype when it's Thanksgiving/Christmas food or General Tso's/Orange Chicken day.
@@stayfrosty6290 y e s. I live for Thanksgiving lunch. And orange chicken. I also love the cheese sticks and chicken nuggets. We get mashed potatoes and a roll with it. I'm pretty sure we also get green beans as well m
As a Brazilian, I've never saw a lunch like that in schools. Our lunch is way simpler than that, but still good (depending on where you live of course).
In Romania, you usually bring your own lunch from home, but in middle school, they give you a hard piece of bread and a box of milk
Same in Croatia...only in dorms for students they have little more options I've heard ..or if you are in collage
I grew up in rural eastern Tennessee in the USA, a lot of the meals were our traditional Appalachian foods, cooked in house in our traditional ways. I graduated in 2000 though. We had our traditional greens, beans & cornbread, pork chops, etc. Breakfast was biscuits and gravy, sausage biscuits, etc. All of it was made in house by local women who knew the old recipes
I live in South Korea . I think definitely we have much more yum lunch than that😂 We usually have rice, various soup, kimchi, meat(bacon,steak,bulgogi...etc),fish and chicken... also we have yogurt, pie, bread and spaghetti...(like overseas food)!
Here in Ukraine we have the most economic tea, some bread and some soup without anything
The only good lunch I have had here in the us is chicken and waffles and they already stopped serving that
1° Italy
Me: *THAT AINT REAL*
Okay y’all lemme get something straight: in Finland all of the meals are served on a serving tray with one plate for the main meal. The same plate is used for soup. We usually don’t have fresh bread but crisp bread with margarine. Fresh bread is usually served on soup days. We sometimes get other toppings on bread like cheese or ham. We do not have desserts everyday and we will most likely never have pancakes unless they are the thick square kind. Also the pea soup look more green and it most definitely does not contain (apparent) kale or (apparent) sweet potato, but carrots or pork.
In the us they got to prep the kids for those prison meals.
In India, we have rice, dal(curry), salads and pickle, (mashed potatoes are optional)
i live in The Netherlands and we don’t even get lunch at school, you have to bring your own food from home
Some schools in the US are like that. Also you pay for school lunches. Dessert has to be bought separately at the snack bar. And lunch alome is small and costs $2
Lol I’m brazilian and I’ve never had all of those things for lunch in school
That lunch from Spain looks SO GOOD
I live in America and the way they feed our kids is revolting.
It's crazy how many kids pack their lunch to avoid that crap
Kids in the United States have to learn how to be good eaters at home, too. At my elementary school, my favorite was the side of salad. And I was so amazed that everybody threw it away. I wanted to ask if I could have theres...but didn't want to be a beggar. A lot of these meals would be hard to convince kids to eat.
I was thinking the same! If you gave most kids shrimp and rice with veggies, they'd probably come the next day with a packed lunch of little Debbie cakes, string cheese, a Capri Sun and fruit roll up. Parents will pack them pure junk just so they "eat something".
Salad is nice and it also helps the bowels to be active. Sorry 🤣
Listen, I have been living in Greece for 30 years now and I can tell you with certainty that there is not one public school that serves ANY lunch at all.
when i was in school the lunches were sold in the canteen, my favorite was rice with steamed fish topped with chilli sauce or grilled stingray, pan fried chicken with mapo tofu and mixed vegetable side and a coconut drink made from an actual coconut. costed me $3, a cheaper option was chicken noodles with actual chicken and vegetables was $1. prices converted to USD for ease of calculations
I come from Kenya. Our school lunch was a mixture of boiled maize and beans taken Monday to Friday. Saturdays was rice and boiled beans mixed with cabbage. We only ate beef on Sundays evening, which was rice, beef soup and one little piece of meat.
I’m German and go to a German school in Hungary, and we have three choices,
Hungarian, international, and healthy
Healthy is usually something with chicken, turkey or a filled paprika
International is usually something international like spaghetti Bolognese or gyros with tzatziki
Hungarian is usually something Hungarian like Gulasch
As a Brazilian, I do not recall school lunches being like the ones from the video. :(
In Greece we don't have school lunches so be grateful :>
STELLA
So why they show it here ???

You missed Indian school lunch
1.Which is 100% vegetarian
2.Freshly cooked
3. Immune boosters like ginger garlic turmeric are used
4. Grains and vegetables no processed foods
thats not a orange thats lemon
Name Lord they are oarnges

America. Where we lots spend almost a trillion on the military!
The military has worse food than the school lunches served. Ever had an MRE or powdered eggs?
@@cherishchristmas4807 ha u think that’s bad in the U.K. private schools that cost £33,000 a year will *STILL* serve u powdered egg 🤦♂️☠️
yo for you guys saying usa has the worst school lunch, ill tell you that in my country indonesia, we dont have such thing as school lunch, we prepare our lunchboxes from home
Fun fact. Over half the kids who get school lunches have to pay around $2 for school lunch. And for that much you get so little food.
that song at the end was so good
I am an American and think that the food in this video looks better than the normal food that is in schools in America.
Greece, Spain, and Ukraine lunches look so good!!
Im from spain and i can tell you that thats not a school lunch from here 😂
Ya ves ojalá fuera así xD
😭😭 they’re going over the top I know
cómo son entonces?
@@Fry09294 Pues para empezar la comida se sirve en platos, no en esas bandejas.

Well, I'm happy that my mom still makes my lunch.
I grew up in Europe and my school did not have a cafeteria. We only had a kiosk with snack foods and the occasional spanakopita which was my favorite...
school lunches in australia are the best,
because we don’t have them.
The Canteen is all you need😂 begging a friend for a dollar to get an icy pole
We go home to eat lunch and come back to school.
hhhhh same
My High School is in a very "foodie" area, so we don't have school lunch. We are given 75 minutes each day, and we are allowed to go off campus for lunch!
Very few schools in the USA allow students to do that!
Because most of the kids here will likely ditch
I live in Canada. At my school, the students who were planning to go into culinary school took a course where they got to prepare the school lunches. The food was always good, it never dissapointed. I don't really know too much about other Canadian schools. What I do know is that they encourage people to make their own lunches at home
In Brazil, the lunch depends on where you live...
It's weird that when we were kids we would eat this and like it but as adults we look back and ask, "How could I stomach this"?
I can’t stand the food at my school it’s so utterly disgusting I throw up every time I try it
In the UK school lunches are one of the best. In secondary school and sixth form, each day is a different meal and there is a variety, for example, there are cold food section where they serve sandwiches,
Baguettes, a salad bar that includes pasta, and hot food section.
These lunches look soo good!
In Finland we don't have any of those foods you said! 😤
@super kone suomi vähän liian hyvän näköistä toi ruoka tossa kuvassa on mutta kyllä hernekeittoa, pannaria, porkkana rastetta, punajuurta ja leipää on koulussa.

I’m from Greece we do not have lunch at school . School is out at 1:15. However there is an option to stay until 4:00 to study and play until the parents come back from work .But even so you have to bring your lunch from home .
At my school we eat breakfast and lunch at school.They both change every week.For breakfast we usually have one of the following:cereal,bagel,sandwich,pizza,toast/milk,tea.For lunch we have one of these:beans,mashed patatoes,salad,meat/fruit juice,tea,milk.We also have fruit between breakfast and lunch.
i love your videos and your voice is great
Thanks a lot! Nice of you to say ^^
I have never eaten the South Korean lunch you showed while I lived there as a kid, I went to a school with the Korean curriculum.
France is wow in London we don't have that good of meals
In England are school lunches are good but it could depend if you have a private school or public cuz I go to private
in french we don't really have goods things like the picture
Miss nobody Primary meals were good plus we got snacks like fruit/veg and milk and break time. Secondary is very debatable
@@gregoireferrand8420 We have tho
Je sais pas où tu es allé à l'école mais la nourriture était super variée et plutôt bonne à l'école primaire et au collège. Au lycée ça l'était moins mais c'était quand même pas mal. Perso, je suis un peu fine bouche ( je mange pas grand chose et j'aime pas grand chose ) mais je quittais rarement la cantine le ventre vide
USA here, my high school had 2 cafeterias and at the newer one you could build your own hamburger. Different hot lunch everyday (I’ve seen lasagna, stuffed shells) pizza from local pizzeria, then the usual quick stuff like chicken nuggets, fries, snacks, etc. Very large variety of foods to choose from.
Most of the schools in Poland are serving lunches based on a vegetable soups, cooked potatoes/rice/groats and meat with some sauce with it, and as a side salad. All of them are in set with fruits such as apples. I find it healthy and I'm glad that when I was in school age I was eating stuff like that. Health is one of the most important things and healthy food is one of the sources to good health.
When you are from Latin America and your school doesn't have a cafeteria ._.
Indian schools don't give lunch , we have to pack it from home 😂😂😂😂
You're forgetting about midday meals.
Government school provide meal for free
I'm 65. When I was a kid, the lunches were made at the school and the cooks were great. Everything was homemade and I never knew what a tater tot was until I was 16 and someone told me about them. Lunch was GOOD. Sloppy Joes, Chili w/peanut butter sandwiches, carrots & celery sticks, right before Thanksgiving was fabulous, meat loaf, real mashed potatoes & gravy, spaghetti w/meatballs salad and bread, etc. Sometimes we had baked chicken or pork chops. Kids could get more of certain foods (vegetables, bread, milk) for a very reasonable price. No disposable dishes or utensils. Principal and teachers ate in lunch room. Our principal made everyone eat ALL their food. Cuts to funding and lowering of nutritional standards, candy and soda machines in schools, ... have turned US lunches into an inadequate disaster. When my kids started school and I saw what they were eating, I was horrified. The food is all made in a central location and brought in Styrofoam. There was NO LUNCH SHAMING. Any bullying or shaming by anyone was strictly forbidden. No one knew if any other kids were getting reduced or free lunches. ALL kids were fed. This was in the 60s, when everyone paid a reasonable tax rate.
The American school lunch in a nutshell:
3 year old milk, burnt pizza, a burger with mystery meat, waxed apples, water fountain fresh from the sewer, thanksgiving food nobody wants, 5 year old frozen carrots, icecream cups that melt when you first open it, $1 waffles that should be served for breakfast, smashed and rotten tomatoes, and last but not least, messed up sloppy Joes!
🤷🏻♀️ my guess is that it varies state to state in the U.S. Grant it, our lunches were never glamorous or anything, we always had a protein, a carb, and fruit and/or veggies with a desert and milk as the drink option. It gets a little bit more varied in high school, as a lot of the cafeterias where I live are set up sort of like a mall food court. So there’s more variation and probably a little less focus on the nutritional side of it. And I mean, I did public schooling, so it’s not like they had a ton of funding to work with lol.
I should also note, it’s been eight years since I graduated, so stuff was probably also different than how it is now too.
I lived in Brazil for 8 years the school I went to was only four hours long and they did not serve any lunch
Same In Australia
Brazilian schools usually don't serve lunch, cause the school hours are different (from 7 am to 11:30 am or from 1 pm to 5:30 pm)
At Greece we don't have served school lunch, we bring our own!
Our school lunch is:
•Toast(from home)
•Croissant with chocolate or with butter
•Round bread roll from Thessaloniki
•Cheese pie or any pie
(All this usually accompanied by some juice)
Or something from super market like chocolate bar,chips etc.
(Sorry from my bad english)
Pasta
Tomato Garlic Bread Slice
Sweet corn
Peas
Carrots
Fruit Salad
Jam Roly Poly and Custard
Have you tried a northern Irish one, they're clean, healthy, and delicous! The schools take allergies into account! They also give you options! If you don't like something in the 2nd pair for example, you don't have to eat or take it! Let me give a meal example! Burgers with delicous vegetable soup, bread, chips, icecream and jelly!
Live in the USA, and the lunch was junk here as I recall. But I also attended the Mises Brasil for their summer school program, and their lunch was the best!
School lunches in Malaysia(Asia) is so good!
- You can have ice cream with yoghurt
-Fried rice and sausages
-Salad with pudding
-Ham sandwiches(asian ones)
-Nasi lemak
-Char Koay teow (type of noodle)
mmm kuey teow
We dont have school lunch in NORWAY we bring auer own.

I feel like my country should be on the list, We get pizza, pasta, lasagna ,etc.

Use common sense when viewing this video. They wanted to make US lunches look bad, so they focused on only one lunch option served here and chose an unappealing picture of it, and then found the most desirable lunch options from other countries and chose optimally appealing picture of them. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that several schools here in the US, including my children’s, serve fresh food options and lunches far nicer than just some nuggets and ketchup. I also doubt all schools in the other countries listed serve lunches such as those featured at all times, and I promise they also have their share of unhealthy and unappetizing lunches. Overall a biased video that does a poor job of providing an accurate view of lunches around the world.
BS as a student here in the great USA, I can say that’s pretty accurate, we also get all sorts of other processed foods that are full of crap. Our food suppliers in many cases are the same ones that supply our prison system
Another American that can't handle the truth, our school lunches suck get over it.
lmao as a student in high school, almost everyone can agree that our lunches are absolute trash. As everyone else has said, unless your child is going to a private school, then expect the public school lunches to be old, moldy and fake as can be.
lmao US school lunches are trash. It's not biased. I ate that for like most of the years of my life so I would know.
Most Americans would say our school lunches suck. Part of the reason is our country could care less about our education system much less school lunches. Children have to PAY for it for starters.
In Poland we have some kind of soup with bread and then the main course which is usually mash potatoes with pork or chicken cutlet/fried fish and salad. It's pretty common to have
compote to drink as well.
In Australia it's BYOL - Bring Your Own Lunch, evan at posh private schools.
You didn’t do Australia
Mr mrh1111 Mrh111110 Aussie school kids tend to not have a set served lunch unless you get a lunch order or if you go to boarding school.
because australian schools dont provide lunches for the kids lmfao we bring our own or buy from the canteen (lunch order or just buying during recess+lunch), why would they show australia? what a retarded comment
@Frank Burjan or more like, they're kids and kids will generally always choose junk food because theyre- wait for it, KIDS
Did this dude just talked about spain anx spoke italian?
If you're refering to "delizioso" in the italian part it means "delicious" in italian, but he pronounced it wrong, the z sound in italian it's identical to English, you pronounce the "z" as a "z" in italian, not as an "s".
I'm a middle schooler in California. My school was very lucky to be able to have really good meals for lunch. Some examples are: Ribs, Mock Thanksgiving Dinner, Fish Taco, Burrito Bowls, etc. Each meal comes with a side of milk, vegetables, and fruits. We often have cornbread or a roll as well. On top of that, our school offers breakfast and fish oil vitamins (we got a three year contract!) Unfortunately, the company that did our school lunches is no longer doing the lunches because they weren't gaining any profit and still had many employees to pay. Starting next year, we're going to be served pre-packaged food just like all the other schools. I'm doing some browsing because I'm going to start making my own lunch. Definitely going to be using these healthier alternatives.
USA a small slice of cheese pizza, 1/3 cup of low quality canned peaches, 1/3 cup of very low quality frozen (heated) mixed vegetables and one carton of plain or sometimes chocolate milk. Anything else costs extra. Delicious brownies and cookies as well as extra entrees available for between $2-5 a piece depending on the item.
I’ve only got one word
USA

If you go to school or summer camps (a few) in Puerto Rico you know they will feed you well. You would get the traditional meal which includes Arroz con gandules ( yellow rice with pigeon peas) and pork.🇵🇷🇵🇷
In Bulgaria 🇧🇬 we have zero problems with lunch becouse simply there is no lunch at schools 😑
I from Manaus/AM Brazil! 🙌💚💛💙
Rice, Lentils(curry), seasoned vegetables(cooked), Curd, whole grain bread, salad (raw).
i work for a school in the US as a baker - our baked items are the ONLY things made there fresh, aside from basic salads - the prohibitive size should not matter - state to state, schools should get local seasonal foods - problem solved - our school should not be reliant on food from 2,000 miles away or less for that matter
well, in italy we DON'T lunch at school, only few schools do that (for example my friend's high school) and the food is simply gross, they eat refrigerate vegetable mix, chicken breast or uncooked tomato sauce pasta
and they pay around 100€ (1$ ca. 0.75€) every year
Well in my middle school the food was good and it wasn't even a private school. I think it depends on schools
In Saudi we have a bunch of food and the main meal section, the 1st break is in the morning so in the main meal section there is eggs, hashbrows, waffles, sausages and mini pancakes and in second bream in the afternoon there is pasta, shawarma, burgers, chicken nuggets, chicken rolls and noodles on the other line we have sandwiches, juices, salads, pizzas, fruits, milk, water, ice cream that is only available after school and finally cookies
In the south of korea they get the best school food possible
Wow..even Brazil school lunch is better than my life
