I was showing this to my public school daughter - she said the U.S. photo is a bunch of B.S. We talked and figured that the article probably looked at the “requirements” of michelle’s and came up with a minimum to meet those requirements.

Her school also has vending machines with soda, chips, etc.

But, she still started ranting about how people are letting the government control their lives, and they probably don’t even know it.

I countered in my whiny voice “But it’s for the chiiiilllldren. Don’t you want the children to be healthy and happy?”

“No - cuz they’ll just grow up to be Liberals!”

Kinda goes with how I’ve been feeling lately.

I’d rather be anywhere but here.

This is a complete fabrication. These are obviously staged photos of lunch trays. No school has hardwood tables. And what are the odds of every single table has the exact same knots in the exact same locations.
Yes, American school lunches are gruesome but this is obviously bogus.

Check out http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk/ for what may be more accurate pictures. A couple of years ago a girl in England began photographing her school dinners, and it turned into a fairly major story, with kids in other countries sending her photographs of their actual meals - not recreated ones.

If people are really interested, they could do an image search. Something like, ‘uk school lunch.’ Pretty simple. You can see the kids in their schools eating their actual lunches. Then you can decide who has the worse lunches.

Don’t have kids but, if I did they would be in private school.

My kids are gonna eat real food, same as I do...erh did, until a fee years ago.

You want spaghetti? Oh no. Daddy hates spaghetti but, you can have angel hair pasta, with roma tomatoes, basil and gsrlic. Heck, I’ll even braise a nice piece of chicken for you.

Sandwich? No problem. It will be on wheat or a multi grain bread, chock full of fiber.

You say you want mayonnaise? How bout the fancy stuff like a nice aoili? Tomatoes, sprouts, lettuce pickles?

Most importantly, I can’t stand white bread and won’t serve you garbage.

Pizza? You can eat that stuff but, I don’t like pizza crust unless it’s thin or whole wheat with various flavors.

I’ll eat the toppings and you can have my crust, unless it’s crisped or a bit burnt. I love that.

Rice Bowl? Sure. I’d prefer you eat brown rice but, thst stuff ain’t as easy to cook as white rice. You can have brown, Jasmine, Basmati and occasionally white rice.

Want some wild rice? Sohh good.

Chicken for lunch? Yoi got it and there are quite a number of healthy ways to cook it but, I don’t begrudge anyone wanting “Hot, dead, Fried chicken”.

You’ll get real potatoes, mashed and lumpy...cuz I like lumps and I prefer red or white potatoes.

Gravy with that? Okay but, while I like to make gravy from drippings and that crunchy stuff at the bottom of a pan, I also like packaged gravy and since I don’t use butter on anything but popcorn you can have as much as you like.

Yer gonna eat what I call a decent amount of green veggies too and they won’t be doused in butter.

Heck, I’ll braise em or roast them in a bit of olive oil and not that cheap stuff from Walmart either. Don’t get me wrong, I love Wally World but, delicious food requires excellent ingredients. I buy that expensive stuff...

Bread with dinner? LOL...oh don’t make me laugh.

Well, occasionally we’ll have it but, only with Plueger or Kerrigold butter or, or, or garlic bread...

My kids will only eat good and whole food.

Well at least many of the illegals trying to feed their family only on Michael O’s diet won’t be looking forward to the food dole.

“Institutional cooking can turn any ingredients into gray glop. “

God bless my wonderful Welsh/American Grandmother,,,, but she cooked everything until it was gray. Gray meat! Gray veggies!
