School Lunches Options

[NicolynnCat]

Should schools make their crappy ass lunches? or should they just order from restaurants?

[CoLd_FlAmE]

i think school lunches are food from people that supply food for prisons

[NicolynnCat]

haha! no prisons get better food

[*MrMonkeyTaco*]

i wouldnt mind like burger king, MCdonalds, Taco Bell in the diffrent lines

[SasukeNaru]

EEEEW ICK ICK ICK.. school lunches are horrrrrrible.. hmm i swear a piece of that hamburger meat can bounce... or at least fall on the floor with a hard thud.. its nasty... they should just order or get real chefs.. -_-ll

[juliar]

Well...school lunches are kinda...bad. But after all, theyre kinda cheap, they come free from prisons, and it helps those that have low income by providing free lunch.
Well, that's what my school does.

[*Kathleen*]

Hmm...it would cost more to get them from restaurants, so I don't think they'd go for that. I think it's better to have them spend money on other things that would help students out more. Hmm...also, I don't think it would fit the "healthy" guidelines if we ordered them from McDonald's.

[DavidxN]

the food at my school isn't so bad, they order pizza from pizza hut and stuff but it gets tiring to eat day after day with all the oil.....btw did u guys know that the salads at mcdonalds has more fat than the cheeseburger?

[XaZnX07]

well my school has two lines one with schools food and the other i dont know but the other line has spicy chicken papa johns pizza ummm good fries chicken nuggets chiips and all that good stuff so if the schools lunch was gross i could go to the other line


:tony:

[koreansaga510]

i ditch to subway with my friends, cause its right there hehe

[kirbymuixo]

You shouldn't expect much from school lunches. They're there to simply satisfy the need for hunger (not necessarily your taste buds) and are usually expected to meet the nutritional values that most schools require of them for the health of the students. They're also very inexpensive in order that students from low-income families would be able to afford them and not go hungry. If you want the satisfaction of taste and good quality, go to a restaurant.

[iheartsimba]

restaraunt i think. i mean they wouldnt really lose money cuz we'd be paaying for our lunch anyway right?

[sadolakced acid]

school lunches are frozen, and provided by a government contractor. we need better food. and they can do it.

[*Kathleen*]

restaraunt i think. i mean they wouldnt really lose money cuz we'd be paaying for our lunch anyway right?

Yes, but it would be more, and as someone said before, it wouldn't be fair to those that can barely afford those type of lunches.

school lunches are frozen, and provided by a government contractor. we need better food. and they can do it.

Yes, but at what cost? Furthermore, there is always the option of packing your lunch, you know.

[sadolakced acid]

i pack my lunch. i just wish sometimes i could get real food, you know the kind you actually cook, from the school cafateria. they don't cook. the heat up the food. it's cheaper to get food precooked in a factory and just heat it up.

[mai_z]

the caf food @ my school is pretty good....but in the bigger schools, they have like a McDonalds and a Taco Bell, which really pisses me off!

[rae]

My school's lunches are nasty. The meat is not real, alot of food isn't clean looking, the bread is almost always stale.

That's why 1/2 of the school brings their own lunches.

[LiNHy POO]

well i dont buy my lunch... so i wouldnt know... but yehh it would cost more of they ordered out.. and the kids would have to pay more also.. school lunches are not that bad though... i mean you have a choice to buy or bring...

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

I eat PB&J's. I've made friends with all of the people working in the cafateria, so I always get a sandwhich haha. Once I was late and they ran out, so the lunch lady made one just for me.

It doesn't matter to me, besides, my school isn't made of money. I don't go to a public school where we can get resturant quality food. They give us gross stuff, but you can eat it.

[JlIaTMK]

i wouldnt mind like burger king, MCdonalds, Taco Bell in the diffrent lines

i wouldnt mind them either

[Mireh]

Uhm, first off, the students are not required to buy the lunch. If they detest the lunches so, they are permitted to bring their own lunches to school. At least they give you some food.

Suck it up.

[ryfitaDF]

i go to a school recognised for how unhealthy the lunches are... and if they're unhealthy they must be taisty!

so imma say i love my school food and i miss it.

but, yea, i sure could go for some nachos del grande.

[l_baybeexgrl_l]

in 6th grade... i got food poisoning from the damn cafeteria.... grrrrrr....

[ComradeRed]

Each School District should make its own choice based on their financial circumstances and what their kids want.

[SupraS15]

what????? my school lunch is good... But then again... it is a college campus... haha

[amiie]

yuck. my school lunch is horrible. i even found a leaf inside. since then, ive never eaten at school....

[ComradeRed]

Its' called a vegetable.

[m@dcow]

i think they should order from restaurants that a way... there's less chance of a fire, it promotes the restaurant and helps it... and of course,,, we get better food

[perdyperdybirdy]

I use to think school lunches were okay...But then I got sick of it, and decided to bring lunch from home instead.

[shawty_redd]

funny but i've never had a school lunch. what do they serve?

[inthemudhole]

The lunch at my school isn't half bad..

Seriously..

It's rather good, actually.

I'm in junior high, and it's not bad.

[patrick004]

Its' called a vegetable.

LOL.


They have good mashed potatoes and lasagna. Don't forget about the snack line.

[Luster Soldier]

If certain ppl doesn't like how the school lunch taste, they bring their own. It's that simple.

[babixlilac]

school lunch is sometimes ok but if people dont like it, dey can pick out deir peanut butter nd jelly sandwich

[ComradeRed]

School lunch here at Brown U is pretty damn good actually.

[EmeraldKnight]

Yeah.. they're not too bad over here too.. although they're also not the healthiest..

[Mourn4u]

i no ppl disagree w/me but i kind of like skool lunches. i wish sometimes it were better but if my skool would get our lunches from a resturant something most likely still be wrong w/it anyway.

[Rock_Lee]

i think they should order from restaurants that a way... there's less chance of a fire, it promotes the restaurant and helps it... and of course,,, we get better food

Our school used to have it, catered lunches from other places, but now, its just crap.

[rnrn897]

well school lunch is 'nutritious' ... and they would enforce laws if they ordered from restauranjts cuz of that overweight and obesity thing -0-

[sweetxsimplicity]

I think my school as quite good lunches cept' the rice tastes like its been in the freezer forever...lol I usually buy my lunch from the beanery though

[EmeraldKnight]

What's a beanery?

well school lunch is 'nutritious' ... and they would enforce laws if they ordered from restauranjts cuz of that overweight and obesity thing -0-

School lunches nutritious? Hah. that completely depends on the school

What do you mean enforcing laws if they ordered from restaurants?

[ichiban]

I never buy the lunch .. I just buy junk food as my lunch .. and when i go home, THEN I HAVE MY LUNCH xP

[x hYpErRoSeY x]

i dont think they should get from restaurants because then we'd have to pay alot of money
but they definatly should make better food!!

[rnrn897]

if they ordered from fast food restaurants, then the state would enforce laws against it.

[MasterNe0]

Most of the lunches are crappy but some are good.

I wish they did a better way of preparing it.

I however stop eating school lunch and buy food from my school store like Cup noodles and stuff.

[perfectionist]

i don't care if they're crappy or not as long they're healthy, but in my school, they're not. they serve us burgers, fries, and oily pizza every single day. okay, maybe once in a while some other thing but that other thing is just as unhealthy.

i think a lot of the times, they just reheat the leftovers which is just sick because it makes the food all soggy. *gag*

i think ordering from restaurants is unnecessary. if they'd just make the darn food healthy and fresh, there wouldn't be a problem because no one can really complain.

i bet there are lots of things we don't know that have to do with school lunches. someone should make a documentary about that... and come to our school. i should've saved that expired nacho cheese they served us once.

[inthemudhole]

If certain ppl doesn't like how the school lunch taste, they bring their own. It's that simple.

Exactly.
If they don't like it, then tough.. they should provide their own lunch if they're going to whine about what is there for them.

[inlonelinessidie]

Exactly.

But sometimes kids are poor and get free lunches.


Anyways, I think lunched should be both healthy and tasty.

[x AZN D0RKii x]

this year, i`m skipping lunch . one reason is because it`s just plain nasty . another reason is because when we get our lunches the lines are hella long .. and by the time when you get them and eat, you always miss your next period . and if you miss your period . then you get in trouble . so i`m skipping it and eat lunch at home after school .

[skaterjswife2]

i love my school lunches!! they are sooooooo good. at my old school they had crappy school lunches so i always brought my own...but high school cafeteria..mMmm

[sadolakced acid]

the problem is it's a government contractor that does it- so the food is the cheapest possible.

i used to go to a school with mcdonalds and taco bell... that was sweet.

now i'm stuck with the same old government issued lunch.

we're not even allowed to sell pizza for fundrasiers- you aren't allowed to have competition with the lunchroom. monopoly, anyone? great, i'll be the hat.

Err.. well I think the main thing to point out is that school lunches aren't standardized.. I know that we get food from restaurants every day, and the school does offer healthy food for us..

My question is.. do you think school lunches should be standardized throughout? And if so.. what kind of foods should be offered?

[ComradeRed]

School lunch should be abolished. All it is is a tool for greedy corporations like Heinz to make more money off the backs of the working class...

[sadolakced acid]

they are within school systems. each system hires a contractor to provide the lunches.

[aud_chua]

high school lunches were a bad experience for me... but once i got to college, school meals are pretty good! obviously because we pay more for the fees and all that.. the least they could do is give decent meals!

[JustHere4NoReaso...]

The lunch at my school is awesome. We have things like curly fries and stuff. ^___^

So what? Everyone should be forced to bring their own lunch?

Err... we don't...

*cough* very unhealthy *cough*

[[i]LLMATiC]

my schools food is ok but ya its not that great.. i mean it could b better but since ill start driving i dont have to eat that crap they call food

[JustHere4NoReaso...]

*cough* very unhealthy *cough*

Well, it's served in small portions. Also, we're supposed to pick out either a fruit or vegetable side with every entre... (sp?).

[sadolakced acid]

well, my school lunch sucks.

they're plastic in the pizza. the pizza comes with a saran wrap topper that is left on when baking. it melts.

all in all, i guess it depends on your school.

[melmigs]

I usually bring my lunch, but sometimes I order Chinese food or pizza, or walk to Subway with my friends. It's good that our school lets us order, the food there stinks.

[imm]

Goshness...I go to a school in San Marino...and we don't get prison food. We get prison LEFTOVERS! >.< Ugh...how I hate it.

[elmogurly]

Hm..just bring your own food. I don't know. I'm fine with it.

[bebekins]

schools around here have open lunches which means that the kids can just go into town to get whatever the hell they want... i really wish my school would have done that

[silver-rain]

eh- the school lunch at my school isn't too bad. sometimes i eat there but i can also eat out too.

[xtremeliquid]

I don't eat at school.

[ErikMichaelschee...]

Goshness...I go to a school in San Marino...and we don't get prison food. We get prison LEFTOVERS! >.< Ugh...how I hate it.

Prison leftovers...ewww. That's not right.

But the food at my school is all right I dont mind eating it. I wish we had an open lunch like someone said that would be nicer.

[xxviet727babixx]

instead of havin crappie lunch dat no one bothers 2 get........ n da skoo wastes da money, dey should invest in givin us REAL DELICIOUS FOOD!

[Levy2k6]

this year they raised the price on most of the food.. so its like AHH.. some of it is pretty good.. the pizza is alright and i get free lunch so its all good... yeah.. i like fries.

[leeeza702]

My high school where I graduated from sold food from other restaurants... they had uhhmm... Pizza Hut and Subway

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

ours was off campus..but then they closed it, had alot of food from other fast food restaurants but the crappy kind

[Sumiaki]

Well cafeteria food is cheap. What else do you expect? You get what you pay for. I mean i seriously doubt any public high school staffs only "chefs". That would be more expensive to staff those kinds of people. They probably hire who ever can press the "on" button for stoves/fryers. That, usually, are stay at home moms. We actually get chinese food every WED. Although the price from school lunch to chinese food more than doubles. Plus schools are required to keep their lunches healthy and not too fattening. I remember when they took off the chicken sandwich because it was unhealthy. I suppose schools that dont have restaurant foods just dont want to deal with all that nutrition stuff. Now i just read an article about taking away soft drinks and vending machines in jr high and high school.

As for me, I eat w/e is in the vending machines and chinese on WED. I'll occasionally eat school lunches. Only if i didn't eat dinner last night.

[*CrackedRearView*]

I don't know what your schools are like, but we can get McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway, and KFC -- but that might have something to do with the fact that this school is one of the biggest in the midwest.

[Ze world is a Ma...]

if you pay more for your tuition maybe you'll get better food i meant if EVERYONE pay more. am i right?

[Rock_Lee]

We used to get catered food.

[slurp]

agh, i havent had school lunch for years cause its so disgusting and not attracting at all..to me at least so usually my lunch would be the vending machines

[Levy2k6]

i got mad today cuz i used to have free lunch and then i'd get a spicy chicken on the side and NOW i have to pay 1.80 for normal lunch.. i wanted to slap someone....

i'd always had Free Lunch....

[sikdragon]

like uniforms it should depend upon the status of the community. I also believe that everyone should hear 'lunchlady land' by adam sandler

[sweetdreamsx3]

It doesn't matter for me. lol I only get cafeteria food when the ones I prefer are not there. Besides, sometimes they serve chick-fil-a. Yum :D

[nyctophiliac]

Hmm...it would cost more to get them from restaurants, so I don't think they'd go for that. I think it's better to have them spend money on other things that would help students out more. Hmm...also, I don't think it would fit the "healthy" guidelines if we ordered them from McDonald's.

wow for once i actually agree with my sister

[Mick3Y]

School lunches are not the best food i eat but im happy for what i get Sometimes i dun like it cuz the food contains too many fat stuff.

- Tran -

[PinoyOtaku]

Meh...I'm one with supplying with my own lunch... MREs all the way!!!!!

[c0nfus3dmisfit]

my school lunches are retarded. they're catered and almost always chicken. they recently added pizza hut ^^. the personal pan kine

[islandkiss]

cafeteria food is gross. we shouldn't pay for crap.

[ComradeRed]

Haha where?
