Its socially abnormal by highschool to bring your own lunch.
And at public schools, the worst thing to be is the person everyone makes fun of.
My school's food is edible enough, it's just too fucking small.
I think the lunch ladies are French.
I'd rather have a good portion of nasty food than a single spoonful of good-tasting food.
The greasy foam food that we eat at my school is a blessing compared to their vegetables. They're always the nastiest foods, so naturally nobody grabs it. There are a lot of health conscious people who won't even look at the vegetables and fruit they serve. On the up side, some of the regular food they serve is wonderful when it's fresh, but they usually let it sit around for hours so it gets cold, hard, and nasty. The only real greasy food is the pizza, there are puddles of grease on top of the cheese, but you can grab some extra napkins and soak it up. If you can grab a fresh slice with still hot cheese it is acceptable, but usually it gets stuck in the oven to keep warm for so long the cheese hardens to a nasty brown crust.
You know what, I shouldn't be complaining, our food is wonderful. I would hate to see any restrictions put on this nationwide when not every school is evil.
They rarely even warm food up in my school, half the time it's only partially thawed out.
Don't get me started on the "vegetables" they serve.
It's not hard to make your own sandwiches guys
I sure as hell remember my school lunch.. They tried to feign concern for our health by denying us regular soda vending machines and replacing them with a Snapple machines: which vended drinks that had equal amounts of sugar, and calories as a regular soft drink. The orange juice cartons they served us looked like egg yolk, and sometimes even had the consistency of it too.
They also replaced mayonnaise with tartare sauce. Our school didn't serve fish.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;33293008]i've never seen anyone be made fun of for bringing their own lunch
anywho, my mother works in my high school's cafeteria and has for around 8 years and it definitely isn't the cooks that suck ass, it's the shipments of food, i've been in the kitchen dozens of times and that freezer is ungodly, i'm amazed on how they even make the food edible[/QUOTE]
I've seen it happen more than once, then again my highschool gets all the inner city dropouts.

not that this is a solution to the overall problem, but you could try making your lunch the night before.

Oh my god school vending machines. My school used to put actual soda in the machines my first year, then they replaced it all with diet soda, as if that's any better. They aren't even good diet sodas either.
On an (un)related note of wasting money, they just put up a bunch of flat panel TVs around the school to broadcast a slideshow of the days announcements over and over. And they're planning on cancelling summer school because of funding issues???
I've had school lunch up until my senior year in high school because I only had one class to go until I went home. I felt great that year, genuinely healthier, and I even started loosing weight. And the funny part was that most of the time during lunch I wasn't hungry. Because of that, when I looked at the food that people were eating I wouldn't even touch something someone was giving out; It was all unappetizing. They really need to fix the crap they serve at schools.

The hell are you on about? If anything, it's perfectly ordinary for people to prepare their own lunch!
In Estonia, people bring all sorts of assorted fruits and sandwiches and what the hell else with them. Especially the vegetarians, since school meals almost always contain meat.
There are those who eat school lunch (me) and those who eat their own stuff. There really are no in-betweeners...
And I wouldn't mind the school lunch either (tastes pretty damn good) if only it didn't all fit on the top of my palm... luckily a vegetarian friend helps me out with fruits and sometimes people even sacrifice their sweets to me so I manage to come out fine at the end of the day!
My food is disgusting. We have a food program district wide that has "healthy" food, but it's absolutely disgusting. I'd be fine with it if the shit was actually real. The bread isn't even fucking bread.
don't tread on me mrs. obummer!!!! stop trying to take away the USA's RIGHT to raise another generation of obese children
One time, during school breakfast, they said 2 waffles with some syrup, and some sausage. The waffles were sub-OK but I ate them anyway. I poured a lot of syrup on the second waffle because I usually add a lot to the last stuff, and when I bit it there was a overcooked sausage stuck to the waffle. Never ate breakfast again.
We need to change the way our nation thinks about food

Its not like they randomly search students and shoot the ones carrying their own lunches
The only people I know that eat school food are the poor ones that qualify for free food

[quote][i]Worse than fast food?[/i]
Chains such as McDonald's and Burger King test their ground beef [b]five to ten times more often[/b] than the USDA tests beef sent to schools.[/quote]
I can get the same amount or more food from McDonald's than I can from school for the same price, too.
I always make my own lunch.

The vast majority of people do bring their own lunch. I don't understand why Dutch people can't.
Most school food is processed, overpriced shit. For what it costs to buy a school lunch, you could go to a fast food place and get something better and save about 30-50 cents.
The food at my school was okay, but then to cut costs, we switched to a cheaper company. Now, there's only pizza and the pizza is basically cardboard soaked in grease. Or at least it would be, if it tasted a fraction as good as cardboard.
We were allowed to go out and eat during lunch, but the school did have a salad bar with frozen fruit and lettuce that tasted like metal.
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;33287013]Thing is, it's plastic-tasting rubberized crap food to begin with.
I'd rather have decent, home cooked meals (even if it means finding proper cooks) than this:

You know, considering the poverty I grew up in, school lunches(and breakfasts too) were my favorite meals, being superior still to the ramen noodles I'd likely eat any other day or the weekends. Seeing that brings back a few memories. :v:
my school actually makes their pizza and everyday we get a different special pizza to choose from, today was steak and cheese pizza which is exactly what it sounds like and it was fucking quality

I wish we were. There is a subway right next to the school. However we are not allowed to, because someone decided to smoke pot in the parking lot.
Similar to the reason we can't have lockers (someone blew up a small firecracker in their's).
My school food seems delicious now
The spending bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable.
Congress agreed on one thing this session.
That tomatoes are in fact vegetables and not fruits.

This is what my school lunch would typically look like, except the orange is a small cup of applesauce and the hunk of bread is a single slice, and even then if you happen to get that much spaghetti and pasta, you're lucky.[/QUOTE]
Ho-wow man. We got burritos as big as your bicep here at my school..and hotdogs the size of your hand.
