"“Not everyone can send their child with a home packed lunch or extra money to buy more than what is initially provided,” father Chris Vangellow told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “For some students, those school meals may be all they eat in a day. This is not enough. This is a failure to those children. Something needs to change.”
Photos of cafeteria lunches served at an upstate New York public school district have gone viral on Facebook, sparking community outrage.
A father posted photos of the lunches provided by his children’s school cafeteria, garnering national attention and frustration among parents concerned about the small portions and quality of the food. ..."

Bring back the lunch ladies. Cook the food at the schools. I remember the smell of lunch cooking getting us all hungry, even if we brought our own lunch.
” Not everyone can put a piece of bologna between two slices of bread.”
HA! My mom could and that was my lunch for years. That and that cured beef that comes in a jar. PBJ once in awhile. 😆
I remember the 5 cent carton of milk and ice cream cup w wooden spoon. Funny how all the kids then had lunch pails with their favorite cartoon or action figure.
Hopkinton, New York. You can’t get any more “upstate” than this! or you are in Montreal Canada.
I always bought my lunch. Our cupboard was bare and/or my parents were too hung over to prepare a bag lunch.
35 cents bought you a real nice lunch. (except for Fridays when they ALWAYS served fish sticks!)
Looks more like droppings than food.
What is REALLY wrong about the public schools has little to do with what kids’ stomachs are fed in the cafeteria?
The UTTER and TOTAL failure of the public schools can be found in the classroom not the cafeteria.
I was so FORTUNATE to have gotten a SUPERIOR public school education in the fifties and sixties.
As for the food, it was fair to middling.
A two week menu was published and sent home with us.
There were a few meals where I would ask my mother to pack a lunch.
In a free country that is called free choice.
I have an idea, feed your own damn kids!
It’s a school, not a restaurant.
Why not? My mom packed my lunch at my upstate NY public school every day. I can't recall ever buying a lunch, maybe a box of milk. A bologna sandwich and some oreos or something usually in a brown paper bag stored in my locker. Then following after school band or sports we'd all gather at the kitchen table at around 5:30 and have dinner, every night. In those days you couldn't come home high or boozed up because you sat at the table, expected to talk, an parents looked you in the eyes and actually cared about you.
I had those in elementary school and loved them along with wax paper wrapped sandwiches, leftovers, hostess treats and cookies. But when I got to Jr. High and High School I loved the school lunches. I guess that I was lucky to go to schools with such great food.

Only a step in the direction of their Great Reset Plan.
They feed the children nothing but that which is necessary
to keep the young from protein and muscular building foods.
Using soy derivatives when ever possible, makes females of males. After 12 years of this food, we find the next generation to be puny, unhealthy, and sissified, unable to fight for themselves and the country known as ‘home’.
And skim milk which is basically white colored water.
We could not afford anything so we never got the 3¢ for chocolate milk.
And half the time the milk was so warm from sitting out so long it was sour. And the lunch ladies told us to just quit complaining.
Actually, many of the welfare kids do go hungry on the weekends and vacations.
The one town we lived in had a lunch ministry for the neighborhood kids to feed them at least one decent meal a day. It was just sandwiches, milk, and some fruit, and maybe cookies, but it was something for the kids to eat when the parents could not be bothered feeding them.
We did pb&j, cheese sandwiches, tuna, sometimes lunchmeat.
When we had the money, my dad would buy a big canned Krakus ham (awesome stuff!) and we’d have ham and cheese as a treat.
We always got cookies and could buy the nasty, sour, lunchroom milk.
Committing your offspring to a communist government indoctrination asylum leaves no room for complaints...
Stay out of their business!
You did it... Live with it and remember: The communists that your former children are being taught/indoctrinated by have only the party's interest as their guide as they teach their children to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Get used to it or do something significant about it...
Wonder how we all survived growing up in the 50s and 60s? No such thing as a free lunch back then.
