Yup. Even the North Koreans get tasty warm food.

What I stated was what had happened. It was a comment on the situation, in greater detail. It wasn't in reference to yourself.

School lunches sucked until I was in Jr. High. We almost never got fresh veggies. For our fruit/veggie we would usually get one of the following: Dried Figs, canned corn, canned green beans, canned peas, tator tots, mashed potatoes. Then for the main course we would get chicken nuggets, rubbery pizza, cold gross spaghetti, hard grilled cheese sandwiches, a hamburger, weenier wrap, or chefs choice (Usually something that was left over). You didn't get a choice, they had one set a day. Your only choice was your drink which was Milk, Chocolate Milk, Apple Juice, or Orange Juice. The Juices were only meant for the kids that were lactose intolerant. Later when I got to junior high we had choices for our main course which were much better (tasting not healthier). We also had a vendor in the cafeteria that sold Cinnamon rolls, eclairs, Dominoes Pizza, instant ramen and other junk food. We also had Pepsi vending machines. There wasn't really a healthy food choice for kids unless they brought it from home. And most school food already tasted bad, I starved myself on Pizza day and spaghetti day because it was so hard to eat, so I just started throwing it away. I am all for there being healthier food served in schools, if parents want to have their kids eat junk food, they can pack a lunch. |
Man, that doesn't sound good at all xD
I'm not gonna pretend that the food I got was good either though xD. I think we have a law or something in Sweden that forces schools to serve some kind of vegetable or salad. In my school we usually got shredded carrots, peas, green salad with tomato and cucumber, and the like.
Our food is free for everyone as well.
The main dishes mostly sucked though, we often got some disgusting version of pasta with meat sauce (that everybody but me seemed to like), bland soups, bland meat, bland meatloaf (rare), fishpudding, bland fish in bland sauce, falukorv (a sausage that is usually eaten in slices or oven baked whole, I'm probably being a traitor to my country, but I fucking hated falukorv). Some things were pretty good though, like when we got Chili con Carne, or Kalops (greek meat stew) or taco beefs. Some of the worse-tasting ones, like fish pudding, I can imagine were actually pretty healthy.
In high school, food was basically the same, except you got two main dishes to choose from (or mix into one, since everything is served like a buffet where I went to school) and there were more salad choices, as well the the choice to go eat in the city if you felt like it.
I LOVE ICELAND!

In the US things like chips, onion rings, and pizza are what they serve as vegetables. Their country is almost a lost cause when it comes to nutrition.

Maybe, but it is a good way for you to get calcium.

Yeah I agree with you completely. But because fast food is constantly advertised everywhere and is readily available quickly, no wonder people are fat. If they walked every where, it would not be so bad. As you say, people are just lazy nowadays |
Yeah it really is sad. I live in one of the most obese states and two things that really annoys me. 1 being every morning on my way to work I see a line at mcdonalds that is so long it actually blocks traffic on the road. 2 would be seing people make a salad and then put tons of dressing, bacon, pepperoni, cheese, croutons etc on it. And they think it's healthy. Might as well eat a big mac
no they shouldn't they're kids they know nothing about healthy food
and i think the schools should provide the healthiest meal for these kids and it has been proven that healthy promotes mental,emotional and physical growth and for the athletic kids who need more food i think they should get the quantity of food they need but that'll be an exception
For what it's worth, the food at my schools was awesome.
Wasn't very healthy though in most cases (Probably i dunno)
We'd get a main course item, Hamburger, Fried chicken, Pizza stuff like that. Then Either a small salad, Fruit juice, Milk or Chocolate Milk and a push pop or shortcake bar for desert.
I'd usually actually trade my desert for one of the fruit juice cups, because at the time i wasn't a fan of the push pops (too messy) or the shortcake bars.

Bring a packed lunch... that's what I do.
And I have noticed that our lunches have gotten crappier and crappier as the years go by.
