First, about one million public school students said “no way” to their cafeteria menus after Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign led to anger and frustration over food that apparently many American kids didn’t want to stomach.
But for those without other options, all that’s left is the power of social media and cell phone cameras when they simply can’t take another bite:

Isn’t this what Stalin did? Controlled the food? And millions of Russians starved to death.
Now our government wants our whole country to eat less meat and cheese.
When tyrants want to control people, they eliminate protein from the diet. This is what Jim Jones did to his followers, and they ended up gladly drinking poison.
You may have gone to a different school than I...
where’s your Mystery Meat?
(or is that Beef Goulash ...it?)
A school lunch without Mystery Meat is like a honeymoon without sex....it just doesn’t happen... its unnatural...
Not to mention, our school ordered one railroad CARLOAD of cranberries by mistake, instead of one CRATE of same.
We “enjoyed” cranberry jello, cranberry cake, cranberries with scrambled eggs, cranberry bread, cranberry milk shakes, cranberry pizza.... for months after that!
Conclusion: parents should feed their own rugrats, pack them a good lunch!!!!
No, Stalin took the food produced by it’s citizens and exported it leaving them to starve.
Also Stalin gave priority for food to the cities.
Back then most inhabitants in the Soviet Union were peasants, and Stalin felt they couldn’t be controlled, that’s what it was all about...power.
Absolutely, he was one mean SOB. I don’t know for sure, but I believe the peasants were armed only with pitchforks and clubs, etc. and had no guns.
I’m sure this could happen in the USA, if we give up our guns to a dictator.
I grew up in Upper Michigan, and ate lunch in the basement of the Catholic church next to the high school. The food was made by a group of Italian women; it was AMAZING. Except for tuna spaghetti on Fridays. :-)
The “goulash” stuff looks like Shepard’s Pie to me, which can actually be very good IF made properly (lots of rich gravy seasoned w/ Worch. sauce, real mashed potatoes browned on the top, and more veggies than just a handful of corn). But the portion shown there? it’s WAY too small if that’s for a high school student (esp. a guy)
From Jr. High on, I often remember getting 2 pizza slabs (Ellios?) or 2 Philly cheese steaks (with Cheez Whiz!!), plus 2 milks and 2 bags of Cheetos for lunch pretty much every day (and a roll of wild cherry Lifesavers from the vending machine) and I never gained an ounce! I didn’t top 100 pounds until my senior year. But yeah, as said up-thread, we were constantly active; jump-rope, swimming, playing kickball or tag or “Army” and as we got older we would make up dance routines or cheers.
Yes, I know he took their crops and they starved. I call that control.
Well, at my kids’ school (this is 5-6 years ago), every once in awhile a parent would start griping about why OUR school lunches were $3.50/day, while the PUBLIC school lunches were only $1.50/day.
The principal would send them down to my kitchen, where they would get an education (and an earful) about the difference in quality between those two choices.
I explained to them that the $1.50 lunches were heavily subsidized by the feds, and that if we were to take that money from them POOF! would go the fresh ingredients. POOF! would go the handmade lunches. DOUBLE POOF! for the extravagant and spectacular (I blow my own horn here, I know...) Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter feasts. (BTW, those feasts — and they WERE feasts -— ALSO only cost $3.50. You would pay $35.00 or more for the same at any local restaurant.)
So yes, if a school opts out of the federal lunch program, then they will not get the money from them. Of course, doing so does leave you free to create and cook your own menus.
I prefer the freedom.

I, too, went to their web site and found nothing for food items! Wonder if they removed it?
Ah yes...the tuna casserole. Yup, I made that, too. I would have loved to have made something better, but all the other seafood really is too expensive — making shrimp scampi for 700 was out of my budget. LOL
I did make a deal once with a local fishmonger so I could make “Crabby Patties” for the kids. (What can I say...SpongeBob Squarepants was very popular at the time. The kids DID try them, though, and everybody knows how hard it is to get them to try new things.)

and America takes another one in the........
Amazing. This is a starvation ration.
We heard you was comin' Miss MooseChelle so we filled up the hog trough"
My kiddo always loved the school lunches when she was in elementary school, and she mostly tolerated them in middle school. Now that she is in high school - she brings lunch from home every day, as do most of her friends.
She had a writing assignment for her honors English class a couple of weeks ago and had a heck of a time dealing with it because the “prompt” for it was the cafeteria staff in some school was going to change the lunch menu for a more healthy selection but it would mean removal of many favorite choices. The assignment was to persuade the principal why this was a good or bad (her choice) move on the part of the staff.
She wasn’t the only one with a problem with it because so few of them really care because they all bring their lunch.
Michelle Obama doesn’t have the power to do this. These lunches are all the work of leftist collaborators in the education system.
I wonder what the kickback is?
That ghoulash crap looked like barf in a compartment with a cheap roll on the side. These lunches do not require a tray. A cheap paper plate would do.
Would not be surprised. Did you see the pic of the buffet posted? Don’t know if that was REALLY SWF or not, but it sure looked pretty yummy to me!
lol....that just looks nasty.....but, hey, there’s a lot of it!
