I'll say it again, most of you apparently haven't seen or eaten the "new" school lunches. It's horrible. The bread and pasta are just terrible, there are only a handful of things that appear to be worth eating. It's sure a heck not the cooks fault, they only prepare what they're given. There was never anything wrong with the food before, and at least most kids would eat it. It's shocking the amount of food that's thrown away these days. The worst part is, the food isn't any healthier. Especially when you factor in most of it going to waste.
It's been almost 30 years since I have eaten any of it and it wasn't good then and I don't want to think what it would be like now. Back then I'm sure it was the cheapest end food from whatever supplier gave the cheapest bid. Think store brand canned and frozen processed foods from the lowest end stores around, then by time it's prepared and sit out till 500-1000+ children get to eat no wonder a lot is wasted. I will say that for myself and the ones I was around we did usually clean our plates because we were hungry by that time of day. I do remember throwing away a helping of hard pieces of broccoli stems. I have always liked good fruits and vegetables but the schools version was bad. Comparable to grocery store tomatoes in the winter time when you are used to real ones from the garden, or fresh or home canned green beans compared to store brand canned.
