Who is making profit- follow the money

BTT
its Chicago some of the students are out on probation.
How would anybody know "that stuff tastes like $#!+".
Eat!

You know, the Saul Alinsky agitator crap instead of teaching reading, writing and arithmetic.
And how would they know? Do they have first hand experience?
Always had my own lunch...or went home or out for lunch.
How do they know it’s worse that prison food?
