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

Capitalist pigs. Back in my day we didn't have school served lunch! We had to bring our own things! Cannot unsee page 1 image

The only healthy food my school serves is baked French fries versus deep fried ones, everything else is greasy and disgusting. And then in the back line, which is basically just filled with snacks, is where everyone goes to get food because the other stuff is so fucking nasty.

(That was until year 11 for me though, when the school I was in had served lunches, but they were SHIT. Seriously the chicken sandwiches had uncooked bits that looked nasty as fuck and would cause you to stop eating.)

If this happened in my school, I would be okay and not okay with it. I would be okay with it because my school's pizza is fucking good because it is poppa john's I would not be okay with it if my lunch account does not have money, and I couldn't pay it for a week or so, and I had to bring a lunch. But still, what the fuck? Just because children eat and drink what they want in their sack lunches, the sack lunches should be banned? Did he think it was a good idea to become soccer moms?

My lunches are usually neutral. PBJ on white, a diet soda, a Twinkie (damn good shit), and a serving of sour cream and onion chips. I agree with GunFox, schools aren't prisons. Kids may not pack the best stuff, but COME ON!! What if I don't wanna eat what the school makes? We have pizza at school every Friday, and you can get enough grease from one slice to fry a large helping of french fries. Greed likely plays a huge part in this, which is stupid. [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] The Spie makes a fucking great point. What if my family makes more than the threshold for qualifying for a free/reduced lunch, and they just haven't gone to the bank for a time and I can't pay for lunch for mroe than a week. My school lets us go into debt for about three days, then we get a nasty-ass PBJ, carrot sticks, and milk. Utterly pointless. They have no right to enforce what we can and can't eat/drink, and/or where it comes from. Fucking stupid.

In my elementary, or primary school, i loved their mashed taters, though it was liquid taters, it was good. Tots were awesome, too, but were not liquid Also, in primary school, I was eating in 3rd grade lunch, i think, and i couldn't finish my food because i was "full", so I was about to through it away and one of the janitors yelled at me to finish my food, and when i ate it all, even though i was stuffed like hell, the guy just watched me eat it until i finished. My current school's cookies, sometimes, are the same cookies we had in my primary school, that our favorite lunch lady let us have an extra, or if we couldn't, at the window, sneak a cookie from the other plates, etc. In primary school, in 5th grade, our favorite lunch lady "retired", we were all sad. We didn't even think she did retire, and it still remains a mystery for the kids that went to my primary school. Also, one of my classmates always had McDonalds for lunch in primary school because his mom worked at the school. So my friend tried to get McDonalds for lunch once, and the school yelled at him and his mom for it.

Eh, my school just reheats canned and frozen foods. It ain't all that bad but it sure as hell isn't nutritious.

Kind of a stupid rule, but it's more funny to see people's reactions. It's just food, if you don't like it just don't eat it. Most of the time people aren't even hungry but they eat anyway. I could go without lunch everyday if I cared to because honestly I'm almost never hungry.

Ok I understand the prospect of eating healthy and all, but I think they should be TEACHING healthy eating not forcing them to fucking eat healthy. Since when do school systems think it is ok to tell me what I can and can't eat. Fuck that.

Last time I ate school lunch, I got food poisoning.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29142989]Last time I ate school lunch, I got food poisoning.[/QUOTE] you could have got loads of cash from that

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29143042]you could have got loads of cash from that[/QUOTE] I don't live in the USA, so not really.

fuk da ploice I'd bring my own lunch even with this ban. Fucking retarded school system. [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Ezhik;29143144]I don't live in the USA, so not really.[/QUOTE] Yeah you could, you bought some food from your school that they made but you got food poisoning. SUE SUE SUE [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeke129;29143042]you could have got loads of cash from that[/QUOTE] lods of emone

It's funny because the kids will just say fuck it and go to the local McDonalds/Subway/whatever if they don't like the food. That's what I would do. Actually, in the 8th and 9th grade, that's what I did. If the food at the school was shit, I went to the local McDonalds. Which happened to be located next to the school.

I suggest everyone watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, the second season premiered recently Kind of highlights how little schools care about nutrition

[QUOTE=stealth_camo;29118298]"Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria."[/QUOTE] All they have to say is "I'm allergic to bullshit" :smug:

[QUOTE=Baldr 2.0;29140789]Go away early and buy it before school. Get one of those boxes that can keep water without leaking. Make some ice cubs put it in bags and put those in the box whit food you need to keep cold. Hell even freeze in one of your favorite sodas or just water Same box filled with tinfoil can keep food hot for a long time. (My schoolbag always had the warmth of a thousand suns anyway.)[/QUOTE] Good idea but I highly doubt the places open at 6 am or so. I very rarely eat the school lunch. If I have too, I'll just get a burger or something. I have no idea what it's made of though...

[QUOTE=rosar0980;29140686]My lunches are usually neutral. PBJ on white, a diet soda, a Twinkie (damn good shit), and a serving of sour cream and onion chips.[/QUOTE] That sounds more unhealthy than US public school food

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;29145556]That sounds more unhealthy than US public school food[/QUOTE] Change to wheat, lose the twinkie chips and soda, throw in an apple and a water bottle and vuala.

[QUOTE=deathstarboot;29146633]Change to wheat, lose the twinkie chips and soda, throw in an apple and a water bottle and vuala.[/QUOTE] A packaged lunch from school :v:

So is the school going to cater to every individual need? What if a student is allergic to say, Wheat? I had a friend in high school who was and she brought her own lunch every day because almost Nothing was served in school that didn't have wheat in it

[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] I did this but seeing as school lunches in the UK have been replaced with healty cardboard (no better than the original food ironically) I sold cans of coke, crisps etc. I just took a holdall in weekly on PE day and made a tidy profit. I think a kid was suspended from a school for doing the same a while back. [editline]13th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=TheTalon;29147022]So is the school going to cater to every individual need?

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29143908]I suggest everyone watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, the second season premiered recently Kind of highlights how little schools care about nutrition[/QUOTE] I watched the first series a while ago, I was both surprised and shocked by how bad it was. I thought school food was bad here in the UK. The US seems to have a bunch of regulations that actually prevent healthy food being sold.

My old school, I actually live really close to it. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/SCHOOL%20SUCKS.png[/img] Only 2 exits, one is closed 90% of the day, security is tight yo'

Remember, children. You aren't a person until you turn 18!

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29143908]I suggest everyone watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, the second season premiered recently Kind of highlights how little schools care about nutrition[/QUOTE] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29143908]I suggest everyone watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, the second season premiered recently Kind of highlights how little schools care about nutrition[/QUOTE] Jamie Oliver is a prat but he is right about school food being crap here.
