Why School Lunch is Nasty

Do you eat school lunch? Or do you pack your lunch? I personally eat school everyday, but also sometimes take little things to eat from home. You have to admit school lunch isn’t very good at all, but I’m still very very grateful I get to eat everyday. Sometimes the food isn’t the best though, like the “meat”.

I love milk but school milk isn’t good. I don’t know how people drink it. The options for your milk are gross, so if you don’t like either, you just don’t get milk. The chocolate milk is WAY too chocolatey. Like if I’m gonna drink school chocolate milk, imma just go drink chocolate flavored water. I don’t like any chocolate milk. I LOVE all white milk except the schools. It has the taste and consistency of water; I hate it. That’s probably partly because I grew up drinking whole milk, not 2%, so i’m used to more flavor.

Now we’ll talk about the “meat” as me and my lunch table call it. It’s probably not even actual meat. It sure doesn’t taste like it is. Also, most of the time it’s either barely cooked or burnt. Also, they ruin everything with the stupid gross cheese sauce like the super nachos, crispitos, etc. A good thing about the main meal at lunch that just started this year is getting Pizza Hut pizza everyday (if you get some before it’s gone).

The sides are always a hit or miss. Like the rolls, mashed potatoes, green apples, cucumbers, and baked beans are pretty good . While the cheesy potatoes,sweet potato fries, refried beans, and celery sticks are just gross. They’re some sides that are just in the middle like the carrots, apples, grapes, pears, and grape tomatoes. Sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re bad.

Again, I’m very very very grateful to get to eat everyday. I normally eat pizza and applesauce at lunch so I don’t go hungry. I’m also a pretty picky eater so that might be why I don’t really like school lunch. I am also very grateful for the lunch ladies who make and serve our food, in my experience they have always been nice to me. Remember, you are lucky enough to get to eat everyday. If you can, I encourage you to donate to the No kids hungry charity.
