In the original article the pictured school lunch had the following:
A breaded patty of some sort, probably chicken - these are typically made up from rib meat, and possibly from bleached dark meat. It is essentially chicken loaf pressed into a form - a large chicken nugget. This is truly awful food, likely to be loaded with salt and fat and is really quite bad for you.
Pineapple chunks - not altogether bad, but canned pineapple packed in syrup is a dash of fiber loaded up w/ corn syrup. Minimal nutritional value.
Corn, likely canned - is again simply a load of carbs and fiber that has been stripped of any and all nutrients.
Lastly, catchup - it is what it is - tomatoes cooked down w/ spices and lots of corn syrup.
The "nutritional" school lunch pictured is at least as crappy as the one brought from home, and probably is significantly worse.
It is bad enough that our POS government doesn't care one wit about our rights as parents, but to trample those rights in order to make things worse, while using tax dollars to do it is tyrannical.
I forgot to add torches to my list on another thread of things the good residents of that burg should be gathering: pitchforks, rails, tar, feathers ... and torches. The next school board meeting should be epic. Symbolically, of course; I advocate no actual harm.
Last I knew the government allowed cysts and other bad sections of meat into 'nuggets'.
