It is VERY rare that I see a student bring a lunch from home. You don't see ANY lunch boxes/bags. Absolutely none. Sometimes you see students bring in Subway or similar sandwiches.
That's public school food.

This Admin benefits from hungry children. Malleable youth will more quickly toe the line if it means their hunger will be sated. And yes, Sidwell Friends students may as well be sitting at Spago or Maxims.
Most American children would trash the healthy foreign meals because all they want is fast food.
I am more than just a little suspicious of a lot of those photos ...
Most of the youts I see in the ‘hood look pretty robust, despite a lot of commercials indicating that they go to bed hungry every night.
Hey, come on - those foreign kids only wish they could get boiled kale and raw celery.
Michelle is just doing to our kids what Obama is doing to adults: feeding us shit, and expecting us to like it.

Some of what you say may be true in a localized sense, granted. However, you aren’t trying to tell us that the crap shown for nutritious American lunch meals has value, are you? My experience as a long time father of two children and three grand daughters tells me visuals play an enormous part.
Lastly, there is one whopping big difference between “fast-food” these kids might see anywhere in American society and the sh!t these snaps of American Michelle Carte-du-jour represent. Don’t even try.
“Not enough”? Michele Obama is the PROBLEM (or at least part of it). Whatever you thought of them before, school lunches are far worse than before she” butted” in. Why is it when goobermint meddling fails it’s because there wasn’t ENOUGH?
Frankly, I’ve seen better looking goop come out of a 20 year old can of C-rations (yes, I’ve had oodles). My thought on looking at that juicy meat-something laden surprise shown was “damn...they figured out how to make sh!t on a shingle with Spam!”
Why? Have you sampled international airline food and snacks compared to the American? Local restaurants? Meals in the home?

Check your white privilege fella! :0)
What American-under-Obama’s rule can afford an American airlines ticket where they actually HAVE a real hot meal tray? Honestly?
I won’t even fathom the ability to travel on a foreign airliner and get hot trayed food.....:0)
Where is the money for the school lunch program going? Not for food, apparently.
Well, at least in our area, they have to supply breakfast and lunch, 5 days a week, year round.
Not sure if the budget has been expanded for that or not.
The entrée in the American dish looks like vomit.

Yes. And I have lived in some of those countries. No way are some of those photos representative of their regular lunches.
