Chicago Public School principle bans students from bringing own lunches - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;29118894]My high school serves tots every single fucking day, and they suck balls.[/QUOTE] [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wg9lmL2DyI4/StfrdEqsU5I/AAAAAAAACtA/eWQ5_CDxMu0/s320/napoleon+dynamite+tots.jpg[/img] [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] My school's "healthy food" consists of cold chicken wraps, it's disgusting.

Someone needs to reveal to those parents what the "healthy" school food is really like

I get school meals due to a restricted timetable and a lot of jogging around meaning no packed lunches. I get lovely things to get such as: Le supreme concentrate peu orange (Orange juice concentrated so as to burn your fucking mouth) Frueh creame du chicken (Tinned chicken inside a cheap burger bun) Raisins in biscuits (Rat shit inside plywood)

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;29118363]Although, it certainly is a good business for students. They can smuggle in snacks and shit; then they sell them to kids for huge markup. Hell, I think it'd be awesome to be some food dealing middle-schooler. I actually did that with my lunch. I'd pack a few extra sandwiches and sell them to kids for a dollar or two so I could buy ice-cream.[/QUOTE] This happened back when I was in high-school. When schools in the UK had a crackdown on bad foods, my school removed all the sweet/chocolate/soda vending machines. A couple of guys in my year started going to really cheap shops where you buy vast quantities of food and started selling various sweets, chocolates and drinks for something daft like a 200% profit. They were never caught and used to make £50-£80 a week between them.

Wouldn't bother me since I never eat at school full stop.

You've got to be shitting me. Oh well, good thing I'm not in Chicago.

my school has done this for years, no one complains [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] well, they don't exactly punish people who bring in their own stuff, maybe that's why

Funny thing, our school doesn't lets us bring food from the bakeries around there either. They fear they'll get sued or something if someone goes down with something caused by that food and blame the school instead.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;29126916] it's discoloured too.[/QUOTE] It's water.

My school has great food, I don't know what you're all bitching about.

This is bullshit, forcing kids to eat what bullshit they cook.. Maybe they don't buy your food for a reason.....

Some of the food at my school is pretty fucking delicious (Oh my fucking god the fries are amazing), but some of it is pretty nasty. Most of the food is really unhealthy, though.

My school has three lines: the two "lunch" lines then the combination salad/snack line. Guess where I get my lunch? The snack line. Holy shit the chocolate chip cookies there are to die for. The food at school is nasty, it gave one of my friends food poisoning and stomach cramps. I don't eat it. You guys who can go off campus are lucky, we can't do that. And there's like 17 different food places around the school. So close, yet so far. :(

If they want the school's kids to eat school food, they shouldn't ban home lunches, but rather focus on making the school food something you'd actually, you know, [i]want[/i] to eat. Meanwhile, the food they serve at my school literally drips grease.

Private School Master race.

Damn, my town is right outside of chicago, I hope it doesen't spread here.

[QUOTE=Exploits;29126923]My old High School in Nova Scotia got rid of all their coke machines and chocolate bars when they passed a province-wide health bill something like 7 years ago now (Holy shit, am I that old?). Me and some friends would sneak off grounds to a supermarket, buy dozens of candy bar and soda packs, then sell them $1 a piece back on school grounds. Made like, $300 that month before they brought us to the office and threatened suspensions for whatever reason.[/QUOTE] Hahaha, when I was in high school kids did that too. Actually got away with it under the cover of "fund raising." I kept soda in my locker because activities and shit had me on weird hours, so I sold some here and there, there was another guy who was buying bulk candy and shit and selling it out of his, and another pair of dudes were bringing in those leftover doughnuts you can get cheap at gas stations and bakeries for being a day stale. Good way to make money, and paid for a couple people's trips or materials fees.

You could feed kids shit off the MickyD's dollar menu and lunch would probably be MUCH healthier and the same price.

Honestly, how old are these kids? I know one kid was a 7th Grader, but if there are kids younger than grade 7, wouldn't you think their parents might pack their lunches? This is such bullshit. I'm like whatever one of those kids, I'm a really picky eater. I'd just end up starving I suppose...well, that and the school's lunches taste like fried shit.

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;29134501]Did you know that my tap water turns slimly after a day and the bottle water i drink didn't[/QUOTE] Where the fuck do you live?!

I just got an idea to supply children with boxes of candy that look like fundraiser boxes and do it like a week every month and get so much extra cash damn. And I remember a story ([url=http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/badmeat.asp]which is fake[/url]) someone told me about Grade D but edible meat, which means you can eat it, but the healthiness of it is on the edge of non-edible dirt shit.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;29122236]I did go to a school that did allow this but you had to be enrolled in a college level course and have a waver signed saying the school district isn't responsible for you if you do leave campus. It was really nice having that 2 hour lunch period.[/QUOTE] Mine just requires you to have the number of credits a Junior should have and make whoever runs your house sign a piece of paper that says you can go off campus. or you can just be 18.

I mean, school food is horrible but yours... There has to be at least four different health code violations here you can sue them for.

So close, yet so far. :([/QUOTE] Try to talk your principal into being selective about who can go off for lunch. The only reason my school even lets juniors go is because there's 20 different places to get food a block or so away. Which makes us the only school in the district that lets anyone leave for lunch. The rest of the schools even have fences.

$3.50 for breadsticks at my school. That's why I pack a lunch...

Ahahahaha, school food, hahaha, being healthier, ha, than lunches kids bring in. What a load of bullshit. It's all the kind of shit you would get at a fast food place but lower quality. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's terrible, but it's never healthy.

Why does the school think they have an obligation to ensure everyone is eating healthy in the school. I think it goes quite beyond their scope of power. They have a good reason to make sure the food they serve is healthy, but there is no monopolize the food source because they believe they serve healthier items. Seems to be a financial decision justified with health reasons.
