School Lunch Menu

[BendtheBar]

Fond du Lac Middle School Lunch Menu, April 9-13:

Low-fat milk and fruit is heavy syrup left out.

Monday - Breaded Chicken Patty on a Bun (think crappy, cheap Wal-mart store-bought processed patty)
Tuesday - Chicken Nuggets and a breadstick
Wednesday - Mini Corn Dogs
Thursday - Hot Dog on Bun, Max & Cheese
Friday - Cheese Pizza (Quality = crap. Processed nonsense, pseudo-cheese)

We wouldn't feed out kids this garbage for dinner, but in the schools it's a healthy option. Hot dogs twice in a week, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, processed chicken patty, and a cheese pizza that makes the Wal-mart processed pizzas look like a cornucopia of nutrition.

It's the same in this country. Disgusting.

I remember a time when school lunches meant vegetables and meat of some sort and a choice of two or so desserts, all prepared and cooked by canteen staff; though, that was years ago...but, it was a whole lot better. There'd be chips (fries) occasionally but within reason so they still worked out to be healthy, in the long run.

i remember it being really exciting the one day a week they served pizza or hamburgers and fries. the rest of the time it was stuff like mashed potatoes, meatloaf, and green beans. Perhaps not perfect, but way better than what is offered now.

Same here BTB. As a coach we use to keep PBJ by the tub for our players to grab for lunch. It is a shame what they call food. They think because they bake it all rather than fry it, it is now "healthy"!

That's scary.

At least we can use it as a learning opportunity.

One final word...people like to pick on McDonald's, but we let public schools off the hook. My kids eat at school 5x more than they eat at McDonald's.

was watching somthing on school lunches. the funny thing is there is a nationwide company that makes school lunches out of clean food. and it's cheaper to pay them than they pay for the processed stuff, so uhm...yeah. what the hell?
oh yeah. politics. duh.
