“...lunches must have age-aligned calorie maximums”

Orwellian.

Come on, is this not spoofable?

850 calories is NOT enough for growing kids. What idiot thought that up? Mengele?

All of the NYC high schools are serving basically crap on toast for their school lunches. I have seen them dish up PB&J sandwiches with side orders of golf ball-sized nasty-looking plums and salad, ham & cheese sandwiches with the same golf ball-sized nasty plums and salad, turkey & cheese sandwiches with the same plums and salad, and ONE day, decent-looking chicken with rice & beans and some other starchy veggies. Once they served frozen pizza which probably tasted like cardboard. No wonder half the kids don't eat lunch and far too many make a beeline for the vending machine right in the cafeteria selling Fritos, candy, and cookies for a dollar a pop. And most of these kids are signed up for the free lunch program. Apparently, the food is so bad, they won't eat it even for free!
