It's funny when I was in elementry school and always packed lunch cause the school lunch was 90% of the time shit, Sometimes I would settle for the everyday peanut butter and jelly though or the nacho and meat. Otherwise the pizza and etc were shit.
I visited a college and was like oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the food
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;33286988]Americans are lucky they get served pizza and french fries at school.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, "Imitation American Pizza" and "Imitation American Fries".
schools need so many reforms it's not even funny.
we talk about obesity and shit all the time, but nobody talks about sleep deprivation, which is rampant in high school and extremely harmful to your health and education. teenagers are biologically driven to become tired later in the evening than any other age group, and yet they are generally expected to wake up the earliest of anyone.

This is what we had one for lunch one day last year. We think it was chicken.

how early did your class start
high school classes didn't start until 9 for me, it was the same all the way from kindergarten to gr. 12
I got up at 8, went to bed at midnight, was pretty reasonable
Classes start at 7:35 for me. I get up at 5 and go to sleep anywhere between 8:30 to 10 pm.
Anybody remember [url=http://fedupwithlunch.com/]this?[/url]
This is the Finnish University meal; and that dish in the picture is relatively light. [img]http://www.amica.fi/Global/Finland/Amica/Atmospheric%20and%20people/tarjotin_620x400.jpg[/img]
It's a self-serve line, our menus change daily and there's PLENTY of fresh salad and vegetables.

classes start at 7:10 for us, and if you ride the bus you almost have to get up earlier than 6 AM. I have to get up at 5:30 AM every morning.
it's nuts down here in the USA. My mother told me there was once a vote to change the times to be more reasonable in Georgia, but most people opposed because high schoolers baby sit and have jobs.
[QUOTE=Miskav;33288324]I never used to eat toppings on my bread in high school, and yes, a loaf lasted on average two weeks, I didn't lunch on Fridays because I started late or ended early quite often (always switched my schedules so my Fridays were short)
Now-a-days my lunch is 2 slices of bread with 1 slice of ham/whatever on it.
A loaf lasts more than two weeks, and 1 pack of meat lasts well over a week as well.
So yeah I could lunch for a month on a 10-15$ budget.[/QUOTE]
You sound like a weird person.

You're crazy. The food is excellent compared to what they serve in most schools in Britain and the US

one factor as to why teenagers are so fucking tired is the god damned diet. Change the diet, cure the sleepyness.
And then we have the biological factors which I frankly think are bogus.

Looks like some thick burnt curly fry.
School food is nutritionally disgusting. A lot of kids have no choice but to buy hot lunch at school, and it offers little nourishment.
My high school used to sometimes serve "nachos" which was five tortilla chips and some gross hot cheese (maybe with a tablespoon of ground beef on top). My elementary school even served [I]fried dough with sugar[/I] as a main meal and that's all you got. Those definitely sound like meals that would get kids through the day.
It would be different if schools offered lots of choices of different foods, but many schools just throw one or two options at you that are filled with sodium, fat, carbohydrates, sugars, etc. Most kids don't have the option to eat healthy and it's wrong.
Some of the school food we had was shockingly unpleasant but at least they were trying to be somewhat healthy. Going to a sixth form right by a Tesco, Subway and fried chicken place is nice though.

I remember watching Super Size Me and he asked the lady's at the kitchen how they did it and all they do is simply microwave shit from a freezer.
In Australia, all schools need to be healthy so no soft drinks, limited amount of fatty stuff and more healthy options (like wraps). I just bring sandwiches to school, cbf buying shit when homemade stuff is twice as better.
We don't get school food here, looks like I'm not missing out on anything.

We started at 8 or slightly before later in the year, and some extracurricular stuff was in the mornings, so more like 5 or 6 to handle that.
Plus a lot of shit took up as much of your night as it could, so being up until midnight doing [I]stuff[/I] and having to be up again in a few hours wasn't that uncommon. Irregular, but it happened if you actually wanted to do shit beyond just classes.[QUOTE=Zeke129;33287613]I was talking to someone in an American highschool who isn't allowed to bring his own lunch OR leave to get lunch, as both of those were deemed to be threats to the school['s profits]

It's not always the schools even getting that money. The infamous example of that shit in Chicago with Chartwells was primarily so the company could make a profit, the school was getting nothing out of it, other than a few policy deciders getting bribes.

Tony's Cheese Pizza
a pre-cooked and frozen box of pizza the school orders for $40 a box

Food was pretty hit-or-moss at my school. We had the same plastic pizza everyone else does, and the burritos were like hardtack. On the other hand, the spaghetti and the fried chicken tasted quite good. The potatoes used to be good until they got replaced with some instant stuff that tasted like cream of wheat.
[QUOTE=cqbcat;33290785]That's how food generally is in the UK, not just at schools.[/QUOTE]
That depends on where you look. I hate most mild things, they remind me too much of milk and cream.
The food at my school isn't so bad. I wish it was better, and it could be far better, but I can't complain too much.
I get a full lunch for 40 cents due to my family being in poverty. I used to get it entirely free, but budget cuts made it so they can't do that any more. I also get free breakfast at school, which is nice.
Also, Miskav must be anorexic or something... or just an extremely slow metabolism and a lot of nutritional deficiencies. I could never live off of "two pieces of bread" at lunch. How the hell do you just eat bread and live? I usually eat a medium breakfast, medium lunch, another sandwich or something when I get home, dinner, and then a snack before I go to sleep. P.S. I weigh 125 pounds (55 kilograms), am male, and am 5' 11" (180.3 centimeters).
my schools lunches are alright
granted, its a high school and the food was pretty much your average school food in elementary but still
Our school is shoving healthier "choices" down our throats yet we have the greasiest mother fucking pizzas on the planet.
can't say i know what it's like to have a bad cafeteria; i think the food's mad nice.
especially deli line with custom ordered sandwiches with different meats and condiments and what not

Also I didn't mind the food our school served. It wasn't the best in the world, but I liked it.
I think I was the only one to really hold that opinion though.
[editline]15th November 2011[/editline]
Oh and their logic sucks. Why are you giving me pickles on pizza day and not on cheeseburger day?
It makes no sense!

I thought my school lunches were bad but being fed moss just crosses the line.
I got picked on because i brought and ate my own salad at school, now when i see people i used to go to school with my reaction is "Who's laughing now you fat bastard!"
