"alright kids, make sure to eat healthy" "oh cool! so your gonna give us an actually good lunch, right?" "uh..." "you, are going to give us a good lunch, right?"
The content and volume of food that kids get in a public school luncheon nowadays is absolutely shameful. I was so fortunate in the 60's-70's when I was in grade school in a Catholic school, our cafeteria cooks (older Slovak and Polish women) made everything from scratch...pizza, soups, bread, everything. They were awesome cooks, it was like eating a home cooked meal. Even my public high school had pretty good food then. What is going on now in public schools is disgusting.
We used to have real broiled lamb chops, fresh spinach...ugh, cabbage, fried chicken, fish and, of course, the obligatory mystery meat, among other favorites. Some food was bad but most was good. At my daughter's high school, they have vending machines and kids can go off campus for lunch. How times have changed.
I went to school during the same time period and you are absolutely right on. Lunches were practically home cooked meals. We also had the best cooks. It’s a disgrace what’s going on now.
I was in grade school from 1993-2006, and school lunches were already unappetizing during my entire K-12 years. Nowadays they are downright disgusting. I know pet owners who feed their dogs better food than what kids are getting in school cafeterias in the U.S.
This isnt like abnormal for the US, this is why ppl should pack lunch (Edit: I am aware that school lunch could be the only real meal a child is getting if their family cannot afford to eat, but if you can afford to pack lunch it is often healthier and cheaper)
Not everyone has the money to pack a lunch everyday while also having food for dinner at home. For some kids school lunch is all they have to eat Monday-Friday
@@majesticsquares2213 yea I do realize this, but if you can afford it it is healthier and a better and often cheaper choice Edit: cheaper if you dont qualify for free lunch (sorry if that was confusing)
our schools don't allow packed lunch. I had to get a doctors note to allow my diabetic child to bring food for lunch plus be allowed to eat when sugar is low. alot of schools get money back off school lunches, they don't care about anything except money.
@@gavin2915 in my school we had like 4 vegetarians, and 2 vegans. They had special lunch food made just for them. During lent day the cafeteria would serve fish, or veggie pizza.
@@sammydunne.3796 That's because some parents just don't want to feed their kids the right kinds of foods. Just stuff that's loaded with fat, sugar, and salt. If you start giving good food to your kids when they're ready to eat solid food then those habits will follow them for the rest of their lives.
I remember school lunches back in the day was a full meal and the "lunch ladies" made sure we had enough by even bringing home cooked food to the school. Which of course today would get them fired.
Let’s take this seriously. There are low income families that can’t feed their kids. School lunches are the only meal some kids eat that day. Absolutely disgusting!

Guess what, the world doesn’t revolve around you, just because you were born with the privilege to get food doesn’t mean everyone else is as lucky as you. Honestly the lack of brain cells you have makes me lose hope in humanity
@@danbeesley7184 also, don’t talk on my behalf. I have seen homelessness, poverty, people getting fired, kids without food, etc. I’m glad to have food and a shelter and I appreciate that because I have great parents that taught me to appreciate every small thing. How about be lucky that your un-derserving soul gets to live, while others do the hard work for you, go give your mom and dad a call or a hug. But judging by the amount of stupidity emanating from you suggests you didn’t have a guiding force in your life.
Heads up it's 2022 and this is still a thing. My nephew is an 8th grader in Kansas and when I found out what they serve these children... my heart broke. My mom had been a para in my school districe and she worked as a janitor in the summer at my school, so my brothers and I were well fed at school 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ My nephew doesn't have that same inside access. I didn't even realize my brothers and I were getting special treatment. My nephew now takes his lunch to school and I send him snacks also. These children wake at the butt crack of dawn and then they have standardized testing, peer pressure, school work, activities and still more school work... and we have the nerve to want them to do this all on an empty stomach with high energy and getting top grades?! That's ridiculous.
As from someone living in Eastern Europe, 80% of public schools don’t even serve kids meals, children get like a small carton of milk and some bread/biscuits
For real!!! I looked at some history on the school district I currently go to and within a couple years they defunded us of millions of dollars! No wonder everything keeps getting crappier every year. I honestly miss going to private school because there we were well taken care of and they made the lunches there and we got all this food that’s as hot and fresh from the kitchen. It was tasty too!!!
@@cloutelfin8323 devos, the head of the department of education owns a bunch of charter schools, bleeding public schools to push people to spend money on private ones. I see the appeal
Whatever they can cut they’ll cut. No doubt about it. In America we have two opposing beliefs. Property rights vs human rights. Would you rather have a few cents on a dollar taken from your most recent pay check or fifty dollars to pack your kid a nutritional lunch 5 days out of the week
Jeff Bezos needs to get his money somehow. Cutting your children’s lunches is the sacrifice American politicians are willing to make in order to give Jeff more tax breaks.
We had something we affectionately called "cardboard pizza" in elementary back in the 90s. If you want your kids to have a guaranteed healthy lunch, pack them one. Also, most kids aren't even going to eat the fruit or vegetable offered them. It's a sad truth. No one will police them and make sure it isn't wasted.
@@TimothyMorigeau It is, but it could be for a biological reason. At a younger age, while the brain is still developing, glucose is needed in higher quantities. So a child is actually pushed into consuming more sugar than usual. It's up to the parent to get the kid into the habit of getting that from the healthier source. Otherwise you end up with the cascading affect of junk food reliance.
@@robertsides3626 It’s possible it’s biological, but in my experience kids usually do that because mom and dad don’t encourage eating healthy. My mother told me a story not too long ago of how horrified she was 30 years ago to see my older brother’s daycare lunch. They served the kids brussel sprouts and mom cried knowing her 3 year old wouldn’t eat lunch that day. He wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch. He apparently spilled his cereal that morning so his first meal wouldn’t likely be until dinner. Mom had her own problems with nutrition so she fed us mostly TV dinners or food in a box. Lots of fast food too. My brother was always big and I was pretty tiny as a kid, underweight actually, but I became overweight and even obese into my teens. There were other factors involved, but mom’s unhealthy habits didn’t help. In contrast, a little cousin of mine loves fruit and raw vegetables and it’s because her mother has encouraged it from day 1. It really helps to teach kids nutrition young. All her kids actually eat fairly healthily. She’s fallen off it a bit as they’ve all aged and she’s had more children, but that push in the beginning towards teaching them nutrition helped her immensely. It seems it is possible to get children to enjoy healthy food. I’m still improving my own health and don’t have kids yet, but when (or if) I do, I’m definitely gonna teach healthy eating. To my mom’s credit, she did do her best to lose weight and improve her own habits in my teens. Probably because she saw how it was effecting me. She took me along too. I just refused to listen. She did her best. I wouldn’t improve my health until my mid 20s though.
I remember when I didn't have any lunch money, my school gave me a cheese sandwich. Genuinely, a couple of hamburger buns with a slice of Kraft cheese. It was enough to make you more hungry than you did without food. Quite a tease of a "Meal"... Thankfully, I usually could afford a regular school lunch which would usually have milk, fruit, veggies and a main course. Truth of the matter was that lots of kids couldn't afford regular school lunch, and they were only getting a cheese sandwich on a daily basis... I was disgusted by my schools reaction to children going hungry. At least add a couple of slices of sandwich meat.
This is why I pack my own lunch. They don't care about allergies, either. So annoying. Spend less time worrying about the dress code and start worrying about school lunches. For some kids, that's the only food they have for the whole day.
Right, some kids go home hungry but they just don’t say anything. All their parent/guardian can afford is for them to go to school but not much else. It’s sad to see schools acting this way
@@kennypenny5205 unless your my kid who plays multiple sports and its not getting enough in their body. Plus, I pay for the meal without being in any program and still have to provide my kid an extra lunch bag. Where does the rest of the money go?
@edwin younes Most parents will say well it's probably not that bad your exaggerating even though a lot of kids at my school gets food poisoning my mom still says the food is fine.
*-HaPpY_ WiErDo-* this is exactly the same case with me, back in middle school my friend missed 3 days in school after he ate pizza and ravioli, he told me he felt horrible and then later we find out that 2 other kids had the same thing from another class on the same week
Yeah Jamie Oliver ruined school dinners in the UK. Don’t do it! There is zero unhealthy food now. Might as well send your kids to have lunch at a fat camp.
It’s almost as if we once had a First Lady who cared about this issue and wanted schools to provide quality nutritious lunches. Imagine demonizing a person for that and doing everything possible to overthrow her policies… well, anyway, here we are today.
As a former student in the 2000s, she made the lunches disgusting and a lot of kids threw out the food instead of eating it. They were far from nutritious and of “quality”.
@@micahlhenderson Well, there's your problem. She wasn't the First Lady in the 2000's. She was the First Lady in the 2010's, so I guess you never did try her school lunches.
This video was made while the Michelle Obama influenced school lunch guidelines were still in effect.... They were not rolled back until three years after this video was published...This is a Michelle Obama school lunch your looking at. Can you see why there was such a upset about it now lol.
@@strawberreez Mooch's kids never ate any of that slop while they attended school. Granted it was a private school but looking at the menu, it's an example of how all kids should be eating.
The key here is this is what the child took, not what the child was given. The kid can make better choices, but as a former kid, I probably wouldn’t have, either.
Uh yeah, we actually have more than we need to eat, although the food tastes bad. They don't do a very good job of cooking, in my opinion. I'm probably too used to eating home cooked meals my mom makes to suit my taste.
@@believe6089 yes, in my school it costs 60 pesos (1.25 dollars) and the food is delicious, there’s a cup of rice, the food you ordered, veggies on the side and soup 👌
Kids can afford food? Since when did we revert child labor laws? It's the parents who can't afford to feed their kids. Seriously, people should not be allowed to have any children until they can demonstrate sufficient fiscal capability to care for the child. Then the whole problem of kids who are hungry going to school and getting their only meal of the day there would just go away on its own.
Im really happy that the kid mom is going to be sending him with a lunch. Shoutout to all the kids like me who needed to eat the school food, I ate 12 years of the stuff and I made it out okay, I hope you do too!! feed your self nice and well once you become an engineer!
This is the reason why schools have "eat with your kids days". Its for parents to see how the school is treating them, and to make an informed decision, but also for teachers to see how kids react around their parents at mealtime. Food / mealtime is a very good indicator of the kids home life, and also how they interact around their parents
I'm fucking embarrassed right now. I volunteered to help elementary schools a few years ago in Honduras and their children have better meals than this, with meat entree, fresh vegetables, and rice
@@generalaccount6531 Fresh.. VEGETABLES? Lucky them! All I ever got was the "how-did-they-ruin-these" veggies. They were mushy and absolutely tasteless. Horrid. I don't know how they ruined VEGETABLES, those kids were lucky.
I was in grade school in the 70's and our school lunches at our little rural school house didn't look that appetizing. We mostly brought our own lunch but BFD! I learned to eat right at home from my parents. There are bigger issues with most of these "free" lunches being dumped in the trash and never touched. I have several friends that were teachers and they say it is disgusting the amount of food that is wasted.
In m school we bed cake for dessert fruit or veggies optional and we get to choose a meal every day with pizza mash potatoes etc etc didn’t know how bad school was in the us
Wow. This mother and her kids have a really nice house....so, can she afford to pack a nutricious lunch for her kids after dinner so they can take them to school the next morning? Well, now that she finally knows how dreadful the lunches are at her kid's school, she can now pack their lunches.

One of the reasons, next to being able to survive on my own, for learning how to cook and prep meals was my abysmal school food options. (Well, compared to what I was used to from home) As soon as I was allowed to leave the school premises during longer breaks, I used that as an opportunity to get myself something real from nearby supermarkets. That is, if I didn’t already bring my own stuff I prepped at home. School lunch was always: Mondays: spaghetti with a „bolognese“ sauce. Thing is, the sorry excuse for the sauce tasted like sweet-sour sauce with some low quality meat and some canned tomatoes Wednesdays: potato gratin; it existed in 2 states, either it was piping hot and you were unable to take a bite lest you severely burn your mouth. Or it was cold. There was no state in between. Also the „Béchamels“ sauce tastes purely like fat, and the whole thing was salty af Thursdays: Pommes frites. You think they can’t botch that, didn’t ya? Wrong! They added the seasoning on top of a fresh batch, and only made one mixing motion once. So your frites were either fatty potatoes or salty bricks (because you couldn’t scrape of enough or mix what you got so everything gets coated evenly) Tuesdays and fridays were „short“ days, so no lunch. We once had a student newspaper trying to do an expose style story about the cafeteria and how a lot of pupils found long hairs in heir food all the time…..buuuuuuuut the administration got wind of it and forced them to rip out the story about the cafeteria or they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the papers on campus 🙃 Yet, after all…I still feel like it wasn’t that bad looking at what the kids in America are getting xD Cheers from Germany
I worked for a food distribution company for 13 years delivering food to various customers in Pennsylvania. I can tell you that most of what I delivered to many schools was breaded chicken nuggets, breaded chicken patties and pizza. I heard different cafeteria workers say that they watched many kids dump their vegetables, which the school was required to serve according to government standards, in the trash before they even sat down at a table to eat their lunch
The guidelines is not unhealthy. They do not meet the guidelines, and its just a guideline, not a requirement. This problem is similar to police brutality. And every other problem in the world. Its because the people in charge are dumb.
I went to school in the 90's on the eastern coast of MD and not only were the lunches way better than this, we had options at lunch. You had the option of 2-3 different meals at lunch time. I'm not saying they were the best tasting meals, but they were actual meals with optional add-ons (ice cream for instance) if you brought like 50 cents (no, not the rapper). These meals are straight out of a vending machine with little to no care. I'm willing to bet they don't have any actual cooks at the school any more. Someone is ordering boxes of snacks they can throw onto a plate and call it lunch.
When I was in grade school there wasn’t a cafeteria in the school. I had to bring my own lunch to school from 1st grade through 8th grade. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwich with dessert some kind. I always get milk at school to drink during lunch. I remembered the teacher always get a chocolate milk to drink. I know that my meal wasn’t healthy. The same with my sister with the same. We had a hot dog day once a month in those grades of school. We get a hot dog with a bag of potato chips, and a cup of vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good meal. I remembered putting ice cream on a potato chip and it was good.
Kids after school: "I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."
The prison system gets $53,571.00 more per $100,000,000.00 that the public education system has. If you calculate prison system population divided by budget minus public education system population divided by budget. And from statistics the equation should look something like.. 2,500,000 divided by 200000000000 minus 50000000 divided by 700000000000 which should equal roughly 53571/100000000.
well whats easier? partnering with companies that take time or "healthier" us, the school lunch program that brings dried patties to school on refrigeration trucks
Back in 2007 in my town, the public schools completely reformed the entire school food system. I remember in 7th grade, it was like a cruise ship, we also had vending machines, a dedicated snack stand, and 3 different hot food stations. Next year in 8th grade, pretty much not much different from what you're seeing here. 15 years and I see the powers than be are satisfied knowing the rest of their own lives will be okay I guess
USA school lunches always have to include: Stale bagels That week old salad nobody wants The random fruit cup Of course, the junk food The I-don't-know-what-happened-to-this pizza The poisoned omelet The mushy apples That one good food item they serve once a month The cold fries
@@bluechan9770 I know man, as someone living in USA I seriously wish I could move to another country for better education and treatment than the crap we have today.
When they use the excuse "it meets regulations" and they use the bare minimum what they're really saying is "We would give you less but legally we can't".
@NK Allday that’s partially true.. I used to live in a different state where lunch always ran out if you weren’t first in the line till I moved in California and school lunch didn’t have shortages at my current school. I still mainly pack food since it’s healthier and tastes better lol.
when I was in school I was always hungry about an hour after the "meal".... however I graduated around 2000... and that was long before these new guidelines came into play.
My friend works in a school and he sees some changes in the school lunches since the pandemic.He said there has been a lot more cold meals and very few hot meals and most meals are full of wheat.He said example peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a lot of turkey and cheese sandwiches and before it was nachos,real baked chicken with potatoes.
Ya..i got my kids to actually like water. I always make sure to put some in the fridge so it can be cold. My dumb mom would say "you give them too much water" and a temporary foster mom bitched "theyre always asking for water.." like thats a bad thing or something. Cant have kids liking water.
Thank Mrs.Obama for changing things. Even since, lunches have been trash. My grandmother says she used to get an hour for lunch. And they could walk home to eat and come back if they wanted, or just stay.
@John Doe i honestly believe my school got better meals than others... i'm grateful for that. but you're right, yogurt and chips are unacceptable as entire meals.
and this is why I always took my own lunch to school. Even days when I forgot my lunch, I would just not eat. Last time I had a hot lunch was in Kindergarden
@@GuerinGrad09 When I was in jail we got three hot meals daily that came with a dessert. They were TV dinner quality. Was equal to if not better than a lot of the food I use to get in school depending on the meal.
@@Lyastos Cause some pos that beats on his parents and their dogs said to come at him and I was sick of him doing said above so I did and he got the worse end of the deal so I'm the one who went to jail.
They said that was the cold option, not that they weren't serving hot meals. The student in question simply didn't choose the hot option. That said, when I was in school, the cold option was a sandwich of some sort (whole grain bread with lunch meat and cheese or peanut butter and jelly) or a chef salad (vegetables, a hard boiled egg, lunch meant and cheese on a bed of lettuce), this in addition to the hot option which was anything from cheese pizza to a cheese burger (with heated canned veggies on the side).
I went to a school where we had the choice of milk or chocolate milk, a salad an option of fruit(Banana/Apple/Canned fruit) and a protein source. This was though in the 90's. I miss those school lunches, especially Friday (Pizza Friday's)
This is a real hoot, coming from a Mom who obviously has means. "Gee, if I'd known they were feeding him Jello, I would have made him a lunch to take to school." Well, why didn't you do that to start with? Do you feed him at night, or wait for some social agency to drop by with a lunch box?
I make shit money as a social worker, trust me I care. I have clothed and fed many families, sometimes out of my own pocket. I do at the least 4 fundraisers for clothing a year and volunteer at a food bank once a week. My college tuition cost more than 4 years of my salary and that was 12 years ago. I do agree with you that 90 percent do not give a flying flip, but please do not think we all are scum.
To be fair... pizza CAN be healthy but it's all dependent on the ingredients put on. Obviously if its loaded with pepperoni and double cheese... not the best choice. But balance it with delicious vegetables, reduce the cheese slightly, and make it thin crust - you have a MUCH healthier pizza option. My apologies to Chicagoans everywhere but thin crust is life LOL
Even as a kid, I packed my own lunches. My sandwiches were so awesome that other kids would try to trade me for them. If I also brought soup, it was homemade using my grandmother's recipe that she had won awards for and had been featured in cookbooks.
I’m a custodian for a school district and it’s bullshit when they say they can only give them a cold lunch. I see so much food go in the trash straight from the kitchen. And most of the time any left over stuff like the burger patties or chicken things like that don’t get used for that days lunch gets put back in the freezer until the kitchen staff divides it up between themselves. No kid should be going without food especially at school. If you work for a school district then you should be there for those students no matter what. It’s about the kids and there safety.
You should report that to the school board at the next meeting but you need the proof and evidence to back up your claim. They'll listen to you but won't or can't do anything until you have proof.
Students in my city refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. I had 35 students, and I threw away 35 dinner trays the other day. Good food! They mostly eat Gatorade, cokes, and chips, and Takis. Most have rotten teeth.
@James Buscher In my city, the students refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. Most are illegals and need the nutrition. There bring Cokes and chips from home.
I remember eating school lunches would physically hurt my stomach. Shit was fucked, also there was chicken sandwiches with a weird pink sludge and just old ass foods.

I was a public school English teacher in South Korea a few years ago. I'll never forget how amazing their school lucnches were. They put US public school lunches to shame.
My aunt lived in south Korea for many yrs. She said it couldnt b more opposite than the US. From the healthy food, to the respectful ppl, to the clean streets
As someone who grew up pretty far below the poverty line, cold lunches sucked and it didn't get much better when I got free lunch in highschool, quite a few students would find mold on their food and the school refused to give the free lunch kids another meal so they wouldn't have to eat the mold, we were just told to scrape it off or pretend it wasn't there. The pbj sandwiches were so frozen you physically couldn't eat them and the microwave was a never ending line of students trying desperately to thaw the little pie-wich just enough to gulp it down before the bell rang, more often than not they were unable, luckily my teacher after lunch was nice enough to let some students eat if they stayed at the back of the classroom and weren't too noisy! Didn't replace your milk if it was spoiled either. Truly school lunches should be more closely monitored and funded, no child can properly learn on an empty stomach, much less if they're not fed when they get home like some of my friends were :(
I dont know how long a school day is in the USA but here we had 6 hours and I survived perfectly fine without eating anything. If a school day is longer in the US, than I would agree, thats a big problem
The federal government only makes up about 8 percent of the schools funding so blaming this on them is very stupid. You have no clue what you are talking about.
That's why I pack an additional breakfast, lunch, and snack including water and juice IN my kids backpacks. Teachers have told me i pack too many foods and i told them they feed too little. I can't stand my kids being hungry. I remember those school days...
I like how the title says outraged but the lady is very calm and reasonably concerned about what is a super subpar standards for children from the school system
As Sakura said, she's making a face for television but is outraged. If she's making a coordinated effort to understand why the lunch is subpar and making a statement on the news about it, she is outraged.
RedTEG same, they had me eating good bro. Cereal and milk an apple and a banana and some biscuits with jelly for breakfast, chicken Alfredo for lunch with peas and carrots and some bread rolls, dinner was some meatloaf type shit that was really good too with green beans mashed potatoes and rolls. Milk, juice, and water to drink at every meal, like shit I was only in there for a day but I was eating better than I feed myself 😂😂 the food in jail is 100 times better than school lunches
This was in my elementary school in 5th grade. I'd get it every time it's on the menu. No wonder my mom doesn't like it when I get it. But they also had the Chef Salad with ham, cheese and ranch and I think the crunchy bread things so NC school lunch was good
“May I please have the slab of meat please?” *slops yogurt on plate* “Thank you. Can I have something with fiber in- *opens bag of cheese itz, eats one, and pours them on your plate while constantly chewing* ._.
I worked in a daycare for a year and a half and the menus always looked nice and sounded nice but the portions were so small and the kids were always hungry. It would say turkey sandwich and pears and milk for example but the kids would get a fourth of a sandwich (as in one sandwich fed four kids), one slice of canned pears, and the milk was the size of a shot glass. Snack would be cheese stick and they would feed four kids one cheese stick by cutting it into four pieces just like the sandwich.

While on food stamps, I ensured I packed my daughter a lunch and a snack every single day even though we qualified for free school meals. I felt it was my responsibility as a parent to ensure I stretch the food stamps I was receiving to make healthy lunches for her.
When I went to school in Wisconsin I remember being shocked at getting a real meal for lunch. Meat, mashed potatoes, some veggies milk and so on. It was good too. This was in the 70s though. Ive been to several different schools and I would say CA was the worse. 2 peices of white bread a slice of meat in between and maybe a dried up orange. Yuck. California had the worse schools that Ive ever been too. Overrun with little gangsters at recess the teachers would be nowhere to be found. Probably because they were scared of the students.
We didn't get free lunch at school when I was there. I still remember the day my mom didn't have time to make a lunch, so she sent me to school with lunch money. It wasn't enough for a meal, and the lunch woman sent me away. I didn't eat that day. This was in the early 70s.

I went to school during the same time period and you are absolutely right on. Lunches were practically home cooked meals. We also had the best cooks. It’s a disgrace what’s going on now.
Same here, school lunches were homemade, and everyone loved lunchtime.
Most Moms now days too dammn LAZY !
I was in grade school from 1993-2006, and school lunches were already unappetizing during my entire K-12 years. Nowadays they are downright disgusting. I know pet owners who feed their dogs better food than what kids are getting in school cafeterias in the U.S.
This isnt like abnormal for the US, this is why ppl should pack lunch
(Edit: I am aware that school lunch could be the only real meal a child is getting if their family cannot afford to eat, but if you can afford to pack lunch it is often healthier and cheaper)
Not everyone has the money to pack a lunch everyday while also having food for dinner at home. For some kids school lunch is all they have to eat Monday-Friday
@@majesticsquares2213 yea I do realize this, but if you can afford it it is healthier and a better and often cheaper choice
Edit: cheaper if you dont qualify for free lunch (sorry if that was confusing)
our schools don't allow packed lunch. I had to get a doctors note to allow my diabetic child to bring food for lunch plus be allowed to eat when sugar is low.
alot of schools get money back off school lunches, they don't care about anything except money.

@@sammydunne.3796 That's because some parents just don't want to feed their kids the right kinds of foods. Just stuff that's loaded with fat, sugar, and salt.
If you start giving good food to your kids when they're ready to eat solid food then those habits will follow them for the rest of their lives.
Celeste Keenan still could’ve kept the twizzlers tho
I remember school lunches back in the day was a full meal and the "lunch ladies" made sure we had enough by even bringing home cooked food to the school. Which of course today would get them fired.
They cooked it at school back then. They didn't bring it to the school
Yeah, I miss those days :(
@Tessa Shay gotcha. Didn't catch that part. Thanks for clearing it ip
Signs of the times that society in many places just do not genuinely care about kids. 😔😔😔😔🙄
Let’s take this seriously. There are low income families that can’t feed their kids. School lunches are the only meal some kids eat that day. Absolutely disgusting!
Parents who can't feed their kids should not be allowed to have kids.

Heads up it's 2022 and this is still a thing. My nephew is an 8th grader in Kansas and when I found out what they serve these children... my heart broke. My mom had been a para in my school districe and she worked as a janitor in the summer at my school, so my brothers and I were well fed at school 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ My nephew doesn't have that same inside access. I didn't even realize my brothers and I were getting special treatment. My nephew now takes his lunch to school and I send him snacks also. These children wake at the butt crack of dawn and then they have standardized testing, peer pressure, school work, activities and still more school work... and we have the nerve to want them to do this all on an empty stomach with high energy and getting top grades?! That's ridiculous.
Get them out of the public school system!! They'll learn better and eat better. Government schools hate you and they hate your kids!

No wonder everything keeps getting crappier every year. I honestly miss going to private school because there we were well taken care of and they made the lunches there and we got all this food that’s as hot and fresh from the kitchen. It was tasty too!!!
@@cloutelfin8323 devos, the head of the department of education owns a bunch of charter schools, bleeding public schools to push people to spend money on private ones. I see the appeal
Whatever they can cut they’ll cut. No doubt about it. In America we have two opposing beliefs. Property rights vs human rights. Would you rather have a few cents on a dollar taken from your most recent pay check or fifty dollars to pack your kid a nutritional lunch 5 days out of the week
Jeff Bezos needs to get his money somehow. Cutting your children’s lunches is the sacrifice American politicians are willing to make in order to give Jeff more tax breaks.
We had something we affectionately called "cardboard pizza" in elementary back in the 90s. If you want your kids to have a guaranteed healthy lunch, pack them one. Also, most kids aren't even going to eat the fruit or vegetable offered them. It's a sad truth. No one will police them and make sure it isn't wasted.
It is sad that a lot of kids do only like junk food. And will throw away fruits and veggies.
@@TimothyMorigeau It is, but it could be for a biological reason. At a younger age, while the brain is still developing, glucose is needed in higher quantities. So a child is actually pushed into consuming more sugar than usual. It's up to the parent to get the kid into the habit of getting that from the healthier source. Otherwise you end up with the cascading affect of junk food reliance.
@@robertsides3626 It’s possible it’s biological, but in my experience kids usually do that because mom and dad don’t encourage eating healthy. My mother told me a story not too long ago of how horrified she was 30 years ago to see my older brother’s daycare lunch. They served the kids brussel sprouts and mom cried knowing her 3 year old wouldn’t eat lunch that day. He wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch. He apparently spilled his cereal that morning so his first meal wouldn’t likely be until dinner.
Mom had her own problems with nutrition so she fed us mostly TV dinners or food in a box. Lots of fast food too. My brother was always big and I was pretty tiny as a kid, underweight actually, but I became overweight and even obese into my teens. There were other factors involved, but mom’s unhealthy habits didn’t help.
In contrast, a little cousin of mine loves fruit and raw vegetables and it’s because her mother has encouraged it from day 1. It really helps to teach kids nutrition young. All her kids actually eat fairly healthily. She’s fallen off it a bit as they’ve all aged and she’s had more children, but that push in the beginning towards teaching them nutrition helped her immensely. It seems it is possible to get children to enjoy healthy food. I’m still improving my own health and don’t have kids yet, but when (or if) I do, I’m definitely gonna teach healthy eating.
To my mom’s credit, she did do her best to lose weight and improve her own habits in my teens. Probably because she saw how it was effecting me. She took me along too. I just refused to listen. She did her best. I wouldn’t improve my health until my mid 20s though.
I remember when I didn't have any lunch money, my school gave me a cheese sandwich. Genuinely, a couple of hamburger buns with a slice of Kraft cheese. It was enough to make you more hungry than you did without food. Quite a tease of a "Meal"... Thankfully, I usually could afford a regular school lunch which would usually have milk, fruit, veggies and a main course. Truth of the matter was that lots of kids couldn't afford regular school lunch, and they were only getting a cheese sandwich on a daily basis... I was disgusted by my schools reaction to children going hungry. At least add a couple of slices of sandwich meat.
This is why I pack my own lunch. They don't care about allergies, either. So annoying. Spend less time worrying about the dress code and start worrying about school lunches. For some kids, that's the only food they have for the whole day.
Right, some kids go home hungry but they just don’t say anything. All their parent/guardian can afford is for them to go to school but not much else. It’s sad to see schools acting this way
kids these days are already fat, they don't need a big meal, they need to lose weight.

Your rock lee g if you dont eat for 3 days you'll do 3000 laps to make up for it come on man i expected more
Kids can afford food? Since when did we revert child labor laws? It's the parents who can't afford to feed their kids. Seriously, people should not be allowed to have any children until they can demonstrate sufficient fiscal capability to care for the child. Then the whole problem of kids who are hungry going to school and getting their only meal of the day there would just go away on its own.

This is the reason why schools have "eat with your kids days". Its for parents to see how the school is treating them, and to make an informed decision, but also for teachers to see how kids react around their parents at mealtime. Food / mealtime is a very good indicator of the kids home life, and also how they interact around their parents
Well, they would..except then parents might find out about all the p0rn in the library. I wish I were kidding...
My bet is that school is keeping its food budget at bare bones and someone’s pocketing the rest of it. Not unlike what they do in the jails.

One of the reasons, next to being able to survive on my own, for learning how to cook and prep meals was my abysmal school food options. (Well, compared to what I was used to from home)
As soon as I was allowed to leave the school premises during longer breaks, I used that as an opportunity to get myself something real from nearby supermarkets. That is, if I didn’t already bring my own stuff I prepped at home.
School lunch was always:
Mondays: spaghetti with a „bolognese“ sauce. Thing is, the sorry excuse for the sauce tasted like sweet-sour sauce with some low quality meat and some canned tomatoes
Wednesdays: potato gratin; it existed in 2 states, either it was piping hot and you were unable to take a bite lest you severely burn your mouth. Or it was cold. There was no state in between. Also the „Béchamels“ sauce tastes purely like fat, and the whole thing was salty af
Thursdays: Pommes frites. You think they can’t botch that, didn’t ya? Wrong! They added the seasoning on top of a fresh batch, and only made one mixing motion once. So your frites were either fatty potatoes or salty bricks (because you couldn’t scrape of enough or mix what you got so everything gets coated evenly)
Tuesdays and fridays were „short“ days, so no lunch.
We once had a student newspaper trying to do an expose style story about the cafeteria and how a lot of pupils found long hairs in heir food all the time…..buuuuuuuut the administration got wind of it and forced them to rip out the story about the cafeteria or they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the papers on campus 🙃

I worked for a food distribution company for 13 years delivering food to various customers in Pennsylvania.

@@coolminer1231 It was too little. It was just one box of raisons when the correct nutritional value should have been the 5 boxes he held up.
I went to school in the 90's on the eastern coast of MD and not only were the lunches way better than this, we had options at lunch. You had the option of 2-3 different meals at lunch time. I'm not saying they were the best tasting meals, but they were actual meals with optional add-ons (ice cream for instance) if you brought like 50 cents (no, not the rapper). These meals are straight out of a vending machine with little to no care. I'm willing to bet they don't have any actual cooks at the school any more. Someone is ordering boxes of snacks they can throw onto a plate and call it lunch.
When I was in grade school there wasn’t a cafeteria in the school. I had to bring my own lunch to school from 1st grade through 8th grade. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwich with dessert some kind. I always get milk at school to drink during lunch. I remembered the teacher always get a chocolate milk to drink. I know that my meal wasn’t healthy. The same with my sister with the same. We had a hot dog day once a month in those grades of school. We get a hot dog with a bag of potato chips, and a cup of vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good meal. I remembered putting ice cream on a potato chip and it was good.
Kids after school:
"I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."

It meets the guidelines... thats America's problem, just doing the bare minimum, smh... 🤦♂️
The prison system gets $53,571.00 more per $100,000,000.00 that the public education system has. If you calculate prison system population divided by budget minus public education system population divided by budget. And from statistics the equation should look something like.. 2,500,000 divided by 200000000000 minus 50000000 divided by 700000000000 which should equal roughly 53571/100000000.
well whats easier? partnering with companies that take time or "healthier" us, the school lunch program that brings dried patties to school on refrigeration trucks
Right, because America is the only country that does that lmfao. Get over yourself.
My feelings EXACTLY!
...Is my school the only one that cares or something?-
Back in 2007 in my town, the public schools completely reformed the entire school food system. I remember in 7th grade, it was like a cruise ship, we also had vending machines, a dedicated snack stand, and 3 different hot food stations. Next year in 8th grade, pretty much not much different from what you're seeing here. 15 years and I see the powers than be are satisfied knowing the rest of their own lives will be okay I guess
That’s why you have to pack a healthy lunch for the kids yourself. It’s sad how some adults are ok with feeding this to the kids.

That said, when I was in school, the cold option was a sandwich of some sort (whole grain bread with lunch meat and cheese or peanut butter and jelly) or a chef salad (vegetables, a hard boiled egg, lunch meant and cheese on a bed of lettuce), this in addition to the hot option which was anything from cheese pizza to a cheese burger (with heated canned veggies on the side).
@@microusb42069 u don't deserve jail.
I went to a school where we had the choice of milk or chocolate milk, a salad an option of fruit(Banana/Apple/Canned fruit) and a protein source. This was though in the 90's. I miss those school lunches, especially Friday (Pizza Friday's)
This is a real hoot, coming from a Mom who obviously has means. "Gee, if I'd known they were feeding him Jello, I would have made him a lunch to take to school." Well, why didn't you do that to start with? Do you feed him at night, or wait for some social agency to drop by with a lunch box?
If anyone believes any government office has your children’s best interest at heart needs to reevaluate their thoughts
@Flame It’s not the fact of needing belief, we need to represent and support the people who we EXPECT to give the children the best atmospheres
I make shit money as a social worker, trust me I care. I have clothed and fed many families, sometimes out of my own pocket. I do at the least 4 fundraisers for clothing a year and volunteer at a food bank once a week. My college tuition cost more than 4 years of my salary and that was 12 years ago. I do agree with you that 90 percent do not give a flying flip, but please do not think we all are scum.
In japan the lunches in schools are very healthy no junk.
@@monicakelly6273 thank you for being an actual decent person out of 90% in the world
HOME SCHOOL NOW
School: No chips, that's not healthy for you.
Also school: Here have a pizza.
my school: HeALthY eAtINg
also my school: pizza 💖
To be fair... pizza CAN be healthy but it's all dependent on the ingredients put on. Obviously if its loaded with pepperoni and double cheese... not the best choice. But balance it with delicious vegetables, reduce the cheese slightly, and make it thin crust - you have a MUCH healthier pizza option. My apologies to Chicagoans everywhere but thin crust is life LOL
AJR 1986 Half the time my schools pizza is greasy as hell.
You mean "pizza"
My school sold chips before they closed!
They give serial killers three meals a day. And the supper is humongous. This world is sad.
Even as a kid, I packed my own lunches. My sandwiches were so awesome that other kids would try to trade me for them. If I also brought soup, it was homemade using my grandmother's recipe that she had won awards for and had been featured in cookbooks.
I’m a custodian for a school district and it’s bullshit when they say they can only give them a cold lunch. I see so much food go in the trash straight from the kitchen. And most of the time any left over stuff like the burger patties or chicken things like that don’t get used for that days lunch gets put back in the freezer until the kitchen staff divides it up between themselves. No kid should be going without food especially at school. If you work for a school district then you should be there for those students no matter what. It’s about the kids and there safety.
You should report that to the school board at the next meeting but you need the proof and evidence to back up your claim. They'll listen to you but won't or can't do anything until you have proof.
James Buscher that’s.how.to.describe.this.misery.
Students in my city refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. I had 35 students, and I threw away 35 dinner trays the other day. Good food! They mostly eat Gatorade, cokes, and chips, and Takis. Most have rotten teeth.
@James Buscher In my city, the students refuse to eat fruits and vegetables. Most are illegals and need the nutrition. There bring Cokes and chips from home.
@@ratherbfishing455 that's the parents feeding them that garbage and thinking it's ok
School lunch be like:
- The fruit cup no one eats
- Old salad
- Near expired milk
- Horrible pizza
- Some actually good only once a month
Stolen??

Finally a comment like this that's actually accurate.
How about this radical idea- Feed your own kid!!! Stop expecting others to take up your slack!
you do realize that some people cannot afford to buy food any time they want?? these people are relying on school lunches to help feed their kids
Then pack a lunch for the kid. I have no idea why taxpayers should be responsible for feeding YOUR kid.
I remember eating school lunches would physically hurt my stomach. Shit was fucked, also there was chicken sandwiches with a weird pink sludge and just old ass foods.
Y'all had that too?! I thought it was just my school
They served these mini cheeseburgers at my school and I would always find chopped up bones in the patties
I had bubble guts after lunch everyday.. try taking a test when your stomach is not happy and everyone can hear it.. whatever they put in that screwed my stuff up
Yes my school “hotdog” meant didn’t even looked like hotdog my mom saw the lunch once it was literally green slop
@Bobs Ssj yes
School: It's the devices that make your kids unhealthy!
Also School: *feeds them literal bird-sized meals*
@Brie Skinner HAHAHA
LMAOAISJWOALSK BIRD SIZED- STOP IM ABOUT TO SEE JESUS
Fun fact: I throw my meal where the birds are.
what if the bird sized meal eas the size of the largest bird??
or do you mean a baby hummingbird that is really smol
@@thejennagames8843 i mean like tiny birds lol, they feed us like a soggy burger and a milk and that's all LMAO
send your kid to school with a packed lunch.
More parents, need to see their kids school lunch. As a teacher I’m stunned by crap lunches.
what’s sad is some kids don’t have food at home so they look forward to eating at school but is getting lunches like that..
:(
There should be food at home. Taxpayer money provides SNAP benefits, plus parents should work and support their own kids.
@@genxx2724 tf are u dumb what if someone looses their job

I was a public school English teacher in South Korea a few years ago. I'll never forget how amazing their school lucnches were. They put US public school lunches to shame.
My aunt lived in south Korea for many yrs. She said it couldnt b more opposite than the US. From the healthy food, to the respectful ppl, to the clean streets
I went to high school in S. Korea and this is completely true! I miss their school lunches!
@@antonecruz8165 North Korea school lunches are even better
@@DoctorChained no
From that clip, the schools still do.
As someone who grew up pretty far below the poverty line, cold lunches sucked and it didn't get much better when I got free lunch in highschool, quite a few students would find mold on their food and the school refused to give the free lunch kids another meal so they wouldn't have to eat the mold, we were just told to scrape it off or pretend it wasn't there. The pbj sandwiches were so frozen you physically couldn't eat them and the microwave was a never ending line of students trying desperately to thaw the little pie-wich just enough to gulp it down before the bell rang, more often than not they were unable, luckily my teacher after lunch was nice enough to let some students eat if they stayed at the back of the classroom and weren't too noisy! Didn't replace your milk if it was spoiled either. Truly school lunches should be more closely monitored and funded, no child can properly learn on an empty stomach, much less if they're not fed when they get home like some of my friends were :(
just be thankful for what you have , we don't even have free lunch in my country.
That ain’t the only school that has this problem
I dont know how long a school day is in the USA but here we had 6 hours and I survived perfectly fine without eating anything. If a school day is longer in the US, than I would agree, thats a big problem
At my school they provide a hell of a lot more food than this, I don’t see how it’s gonna hurt the school to throw in a actual meal for kids.
Fox T bruh we had canned spinach with peaches.
-Exactly!
Fox T it’s 6-8 hours in America
It’s sad that we literally don’t INVEST in our children. But hey, let’s build another stealth bomber and ignore a pandemic too.
It sucks alot. After all, we are the future and if you ignore the kids...youre risking the future.
The pandemic wouldn't be an issue if people stayed home. But they kept taking vacations and cruises the entire time.
Pack a lunch. Problem solved.
The federal government only makes up about 8 percent of the schools funding so blaming this on them is very stupid. You have no clue what you are talking about.
@@Afmedic85 and publically arguing that it's against their freedoms to have to wear a mask
Mom should've packed her child's lunch box!
That's why I pack an additional breakfast, lunch, and snack including water and juice IN my kids backpacks. Teachers have told me i pack too many foods and i told them they feed too little. I can't stand my kids being hungry. I remember those school days...
I like how the title says outraged but the lady is very calm and reasonably concerned about what is a super subpar standards for children from the school system
You can be outraged but calm too
As Sakura said, she's making a face for television but is outraged. If she's making a coordinated effort to understand why the lunch is subpar and making a statement on the news about it, she is outraged.
What do they expect? Its public l, they're poor.
You don't need to be emotionally unstable or violent to be outraged. She is setting a great example for her kid and other parents.
It is possible to be outraged without screaming. Something people need to learn. Fury can be expressed rationally and calmly.
People saying that school food is like prison food
9 year old me: *"sChOoL iS pRiSoN"*
31 year old me: "Yeah, school was DEFINITELY prison."
I thought prison food were better than school food
RedTEG same, they had me eating good bro. Cereal and milk an apple and a banana and some biscuits with jelly for breakfast, chicken Alfredo for lunch with peas and carrots and some bread rolls, dinner was some meatloaf type shit that was really good too with green beans mashed potatoes and rolls. Milk, juice, and water to drink at every meal, like shit I was only in there for a day but I was eating better than I feed myself 😂😂 the food in jail is 100 times better than school lunches
It was if ya was in public school
I was on a private school so its not prison xD.
To all the parents, why don’t you accept some parental responsibility and feed your kids from the kitchen in your home?
This was in my elementary school in 5th grade. I'd get it every time it's on the menu.
No wonder my mom doesn't like it when I get it.
But they also had the Chef Salad with ham, cheese and ranch and I think the crunchy bread things so NC school lunch was good
School: Whole wheat? Here then, one WHOLE wheat
*a single stalk of wheat on a lunch tray*
Too expensive.
Go with unprocessed grains. Just half a cup.
Ever waste an entire 3.50 on a whole wheat rice crispy when they neglected to tell you?
"What do you like for lunch, sir?"
-"I`ll go for a cup of meat."
LMAFOOOOO I CAN'T
1. Blend meat and drink it , that's like my snack in my school but i think baby hands are better hmm.
“May I please have the slab of meat please?”
*slops yogurt on plate*
“Thank you. Can I have something with fiber in-
*opens bag of cheese itz, eats one, and pours them on your plate while constantly chewing*
._.
What’s the problem? Ever go to Chipotle?
I worked in a daycare for a year and a half and the menus always looked nice and sounded nice but the portions were so small and the kids were always hungry. It would say turkey sandwich and pears and milk for example but the kids would get a fourth of a sandwich (as in one sandwich fed four kids), one slice of canned pears, and the milk was the size of a shot glass. Snack would be cheese stick and they would feed four kids one cheese stick by cutting it into four pieces just like the sandwich.
I remember in middle school our cafeteria put out gerber applesauce like they was really feeding us baby food 😂🤣🤣
A Cup of Yogurt IS NOT EQUIVILANT to a Cup of Meat because it's not MEAT.
It’s an meat alternative
Yogurt actually does have a lot of protein tho
Spoken like someone truly uneducated
MASSIMO FETTA how much protein did you actually need tho?
@MASSIMO FETTA the thing is not everyone wants meat every day bonehead. Meat alternative
They just don't care because they're not eating them, the kids do.

While on food stamps, I ensured I packed my daughter a lunch and a snack every single day even though we qualified for free school meals. I felt it was my responsibility as a parent to ensure I stretch the food stamps I was receiving to make healthy lunches for her.

You're the type of people who make me have hope for this fallen kingdom of a planet
You're an amazing person.

Some people don't qualify for foodstamps and have a hard time with money as it is. Be thank you have that help....
When I went to school in Wisconsin I remember being shocked at getting a real meal for lunch. Meat, mashed potatoes, some veggies milk and so on. It was good too. This was in the 70s though. Ive been to several different schools and I would say CA was the worse. 2 peices of white bread a slice of meat in between and maybe a dried up orange. Yuck. California had the worse schools that Ive ever been too. Overrun with little gangsters at recess the teachers would be nowhere to be found. Probably because they were scared of the students.
We didn't get free lunch at school when I was there. I still remember the day my mom didn't have time to make a lunch, so she sent me to school with lunch money. It wasn't enough for a meal, and the lunch woman sent me away. I didn't eat that day. This was in the early 70s.
