Do you know how much is cost to feed 500-1000 people a day 5 days a week for the majority of the year?
You should be fucking thankful schools even feed most of these sorry ass kids.
[QUOTE=camacazie638;29808020]It depends on the school district down there, HISD had a pretty shitty food department.
On the other hand KISD had a buffet when it came to their food. Shit was so good.
Lol what? Sorry people are ditching out of the Houtson Independent School District and moving to other one's outside. Last time I checked KatyISD is in the process of creating 2-4 new schools(?).
Sounds like good money management to me.
Or if you want they can keep those 4 schools with hired teachers with scarcely filled classrooms, but that would be good management, right?[/QUOTE]
Oh, I didn't know that was why they were doing it. I went to MISD anyways, they seemed on top of everything. From what I heard HISD was shit.
[QUOTE=green bandit;29807118]I live in San Antonio. The food here is silly. Pizza and cheeseburgers are served everyday, the few nutritious sides, are in really small plastic plates. Most students don't even get them, instead they go for the (soggy) fries. Occasionally they switch it up a bit with curly fries.[/QUOTE]
"N-zone cafe" that was introduced to you guys back in 07 has really failed, before that things were done traditionally, but my freshman year through sophomore back when they did A&B scheduling, we had quality sponsored food like subway and red baron. I swear we had so many vegetables back then.

My cousin had a chick-fil-a and a pizza hut in his cafeteria. What school/district did you go to crap?

I don't understand that logic. The meals aren't free. When I was in school they were $2.25 a meal and going up to $2.50 the next year. To go beyond that, a lot of tax payer money goes towards school meals, which means that you're paying for part of these meal you aren't ever going to see. I'm not really sure what you are trying to say.
Glad to see Texas fixing the problems that matter
That money could have fed 2 million starving african children for one day.
Or 1 starving african child for 2 million days.

send me pizza
You always gotta watch those fries, man, they'll shank you the first time you look away.
In Grade 9 I used to order shitty poutine all the time, but that's because it's the best fucking food ever and I was desparate.
Pizza Pizza all the way, their poutine is freeesh.
I remember in I think 6th grade I ordered a hotdog for lunch.
I didn't look at it or pay any attention to it because I was talking to my friends and I took a bite of it. It tasted completely normal but when I looked at it it was pitch black in color and shriveled.

Gotta pay for the food, pay for the energy required to cook it, pay for the "chefs" to work, pay for the disposal of the wasted food. In the end a very simply thing becomes very expensive. Although yes, tax-payer dollars do help with the costs.
[QUOTE=CowThing;29807518]I don't eat school food, never have. If I don't bring my own lunch I'd much rather starve than eat school food.[/QUOTE]
I was the same, for the last 10 years or so of my school life I only brought food in, the stuff in the cafeteria was disgusting even after they tried to make it more healthy. Throughout my high school life I didnt enter the cafeteria for about 3 years after I got a sausage in a bun one day and the sausage was white/practically still alive and smelled like it had just been pulled out of a cows ass.
I guess my school was the only school that had fucking tasty lunches. Especially their burgers were a delight. And yes, it was a public school.
My schools canteen is decent, we have cashless fingerprint scanners for the payment of food, still doesn't stop the younger years making the queues massive. Also have a salad bar, freshly prepared sandwiches, pasta posts, mousses etc. However the schools muffins, flapjacks, pizza's etc are shit.
Not sure how this compares to schools in the US though.
What's with the misleading thread title?
This is 5 schools in San Antonio
Stop making this sound like this is a state program
[QUOTE=Squarebob;29806370]Such a huge fucking waste of money.[/QUOTE]
This is the Federal Government at work, what do you expect?
I think people should read the key detail in the OP about where the money is coming from. Sounds more like a research project than anything serious.

Maybe just dont serve fucking french fries in school if you dont want fat kids
How do the republicans expect to win a war when all the youth are just gonna end up being big balls of lard?
Meanwhile Child molesters, rapists, and murderers are on still on the loose!

I still don't get what you're saying. Stating that the kids should be glad they even get food doesn't really make sense when they are paying for it. You'd only have an argument if most kids got free lunch, which isn't true because only a small portion of kids get free lunch. I used to be in that group, but then they lowered the standards...
In my school, we have to pay $2.50 for a single slice of burnt shitty pizza.
I went to [b]tourist areas[/b] in New York and DC and the pizza was much bigger, much tastier, and only cost a buck a slice.
How the hell can my school justify that bullshit?
2 million dollars for that? That's just, what.
How about they use the money to make some proper food instead Jesus fucking christ.
I feel sad for American kids.
I just looked at my next week's lunch at school.
Every single dish tastes good and is healthy.

You can't really leave the school so you can't get good food, and people gotta eat ;)
Why do the people who are in charge of funding things have to be so fucking stupid?
my county has been cutting teachers while proportionally making the food awesome
last week we had a build-your-own taco thing going on, with some really nice taco stuff, and you get to make two
we also get free things with the food regularly, new potential products from companies to test with students, like sun-chips flavors
our cafeteria got a tv

High schools get grants...also read the article
"Using a $2 million grant from the Department of Agriculture, the schools in San Antonio are installing sophisticated cameras in the cafeteria line and trash area that read food bar codes embedded in the food trays."
