Are those chopped radishes ? Is this Amish school lunch program ? Can't make out what is inside the package - appears to be store purchased raw meat department.
Go old school. Monday meatloaf made with USDA grade D beef. Tuesday hamburgers, boiled grade D beef again, with buns like cardboard. Wednesday, frozen pizza that makes Totino's taste like gourmet Thursday, highlight of the week, deep fried burritos covered in chili gravy, my personal favorite Fridays, fried mystery fish squares cause of all the Catholic kids
I worked for Food Services my last 2 years in San Diego City Schools. If the school had 60% students in poverty, the entire school got free meals....breakfast, lunch and dinner (for the 6 to 6 programs)...we had 170 schools, many were in this scenario....you didn't bring it up at work without getting a dirty look....now California has a state law that says: all students, regardless of their family's income or school of attendance, have the option to eat one breakfast and one lunch at no cost.
My boss actually told me his goal was to feed every kid in the district. Between raising everyone's taxes for free tablets and laptops (I worked for IT), they feed too many for free . Schools are for educating, not feeding last time I checked.....I decided to retire and move to Florida and have never looked back.
Oh, it's gone beyond just free lunches and tablets. Now they are supplying clothes washers and dryers So what else can you give "free" so that the parents don't have to do anything except procreate?
What kid these days is going to eat raw radishes? I'm in my middle 70's and I used to HATE raw radishes. It was usually the first fresh vegetable, besides lettuce, found in grocery stores back in the day. They were only good for clearing out your sinuses from what I remember. I STILL won 't eat them today. Almost as bad as Okra.
I'm happy to say that I never ate a school lunch. Oddly nowadays, for the first few years, I went home for lunch. We eventually moved and I had to brown bag it. Once I moved to California, grades 7-12, I ate at the snack bar. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever ate a lunch at school in doors.
When I was in elementary school in Niota, Tennessee in the 1970s, we had a bunch of old grannies working in our little school cafeteria. In the winter, they would often serve vegetable beef soup with peanut butter sandwiches. Those two things go surprisingly well together. I have fond memories of the 50 cent school lunches from those times.

ReplyDeleteOf course it's not a black kid. Gotta be a white liberal's brat. Black kids got more sense than to eat that even if it is free.
ReplyDelete*free*
ReplyDeleteLol, "free"...
ReplyDeleteAin't no kid gonna eat that!

Meat is BAD for children: it helps create a healthy brain, a no-no for democrats.
DeleteYou meant to say, "Fish Sticks and Macaroni and cheese." Amen!
DeleteI have fond memories of working the school cafeteria, esp. on creamed hamburger over mashed potatoes day.
ReplyDeleteAlways seconds, & I was always hungry.

I used to like that.
DeleteWe didn't call it creamed hamburger, we called it hamburger gravy, but creamed hamburger sounds more school-lunchish.
Wow! You guys ate good. We had navy beans, or pintos, greens, cornbread, etc. then they sold off the residue to local hog farmers.

Schools today are day care and free meal programs and very little education.

ReplyDeleteFor the black kids, they'll miss that lunch once in prison.
ReplyDelete@Luis-YepYepYep
Don WC- that sounds almost exactly like my grade school. Except for the burrito, no Mexican food in New York in the 70’s

Fucking Marin County.
