I'm not say everyone will have problems, but you are increasing the risk of problems due to malnurishment.

Serving reasonable portions that fit the average student, and keeping a supply of cheap snacks (such as bananas for protein) around at sports functions would make sense.
[QUOTE=TheTalon;47277207]That's a lunch? That's a snack. When I was in high school we had these rectangular slices of pizza every. single. day. Along with other stuff, but I ate the pizza because they were actually good. Not only that, I'd get two, lay one face down on the other, and make a god damn amazing sandwich out of it[/QUOTE] Seriously? That looks like a damn good lunch, honestly. I work full time and if I eat greasy food like a fatass at lunch it just makes me tired and unmotivated. I eat light, healthy, then get back to work so I can have a good tuck-in at dinner. It's been proven that several small, light meals a day is a hell of a lot healthier for you than 2 or 3 large ones. However, growing, physically active kids may require more food, in which case they should simply increase the portion sizes. I'm against them having nasty shit like mass-cooked pizza, I remember that pizza in school and it was disgusting.
the first half of my senior year i packed lunches and the second half i just drove home 5 minutes away and ate there. I remember they had papa johns though, and that was pretty cool.

Thank god we have Jamie Oliver over here, right? Except for ditching the turkey twizzlers, but you've heard me yammer on about 'em enough to know how I feel.

My mom works as a teacher assistant for the pre-school classes at one of the local elementary schools and she gets pissed off when we talk about these "healthy school lunches". She says most of it ends up in the trash because none of the kids there like it and for some of her kids that's the only real meal they may get that day. I'm glad I graduated before Michelle Obama's bullshit health plans went into full effect, she really has no idea how these kids feel about this shit nor does she know how expensive those "healthy" foods cost because unlike her not everybody has the fucking President of the United States for a husband and have other things to worry about like repaying loans or paying bills so they don't have the time or the money to be "healthy" all the time so they buy what's cheaper, which is usually the stuff that is the direct opposite of healthy.
Yeah, if anything they need more of a balance between "healthy" and nice. As in actually edible. Do American schoolkids even know what turkey dinosaurs are?

Which should be illegal. But it isn't, which is depressing. So many things wrong with the American school system, yet the ones responsible mostly get off scott-free because shiny gold pieces. All in all, they're just another brick in the wall.

What is the world coming to?
My college is awesome, we have all you can eat. I get about 2 plates of nothing but greens then some meat. Maybe a slice of pizza and fries(Maybe every day tbh :D).
I didn't have too many problems with my highschool's food, but the beverages were the worst. My school's chocolate milk tasted like dish water.
[QUOTE=Rapscallion92;47278060]Are you telling me you have capri sun style milk and you're complaining? What is the world coming to?[/QUOTE] They tried bagged milk in the school districts here many years ago. They stopped for some reason, not sure why. Probably because the shitty kids were trying to pelt each other with them like water balloons, except the plastic was thick enough that you either had to throw it REALLY damn hard to make it even start to break, or you'd just leave a massive red welt on the person you threw it at.
[QUOTE=Rapscallion92;47278060]Are you telling me you have capri sun style milk and you're complaining? What is the world coming to?[/QUOTE] Is his Flagdog working right? 'cause the whole milk-in-a-pouch thing sounds pretty Canadian. Also fucking awesome, 'cause the Capri Sun style of pouches are pretty damn fun.
At my high school I'd eat nothing but fries because the actual meals were awful. That wasn't every day though, because as long as the weather was decent we would just go and eat somewhere else.
[QUOTE=Rapscallion92;47278060]Are you telling me you have capri sun style milk and you're complaining? What is the world coming to?[/QUOTE] it's not even like capri sun, it's like a BAG, a shitty stupid bag that you have to use carefully or it'll roll when you set it down and spill milk everywhere and shoots all over the place if you grip it any harder than very lightly a normal carton would be much better

I can't imagine picking up that bag in anyway that doesn't end with milk everywhere but where you wanted it to be.
As opposed to milk cartons which, as one of my friends in high-school discovered, you can fold the top down into itself in such a way that it provides a good enough seal to make a very loud "BOOM!" when you slam your hand down on it, scaring the living shit out of everyone in the cafeteria.

I can't imagine picking up that bag in anyway that doesn't end with milk everywhere but where you wanted it to be.[/QUOTE] THAT'S the struggle..... You gently try and find a way to pinch a portion of the bag near the straw to pick it up by. I used to put my straw close to a corner so I could use the corner to grab it by.....
