    In the US, scholl lunches are pre cooked and packaged and taken to the schools, it used to be all school lunches were cooked on sight daily, the Board of Education should be made to eat the current lunches for schools as their meals everyday.....

    In my country school lunches may look a little less colourful sometimes, but they're still yummy and nutritious :) (we had a lot of soups lol) also they're paid by the government (so my family didn't have to worry about lunch money) and you can always get second or sometimes even third portions, so nobody really went hungry at school!

      Same. I graduated high school in 2008 and I have extreme allergies. Literally in the thousands of allergies. The main ones that are my most deadly are tree nuts, soy (no tofu), all raw fruits and raw vegetables. If I cook the fruit and vegetables it denatures the proteins I'm allergic to and I can eat them just fine. If I pasteurize them then it's fine too. I buy my fruit in jars with fruit juice and it works perfectly. I can eat raw lettuce as that doesn't bother me at all. However just touching a raw carrot can cause hives. It's awful! I had to bring all my lunches to school until 10th grade when I went to a new school and they had grilled chicken Ceasar wraps and small salads with ham and cheese in it. I loved them and had those a lot! My mom would pack me a hot lunch every day in my thermos. She'd make rice, noodles, sometimes even left over steak dinner. I had some good hot lunches growing up! I remember one girl in 1st grade kept demanding I give her some of my lunch and I said no. She went up to my mom and told her to make me share my food. My mom of course said no, that's her food and you can't have it. I loved that!

    here in Indonesia (at least in my time), we only get either :
    - ... I'm not sure what to call it in English, we call it "kacang hijau" (which literally translated to green bean), but its not. Its basically beansprout in its bean state, we boil it in water, add some sugar (usually brown sugar), pandan leaf, and sometimes coconut milk.
    - sumsum porridge, basically a mix of rice flour, coconut milk, pandan leaf, and a pinch of salt. All mixed together and cook slowly until it thickens, then serve with melted brown sugar.
    - black sticky rice with coconut milk and brown sugar , cooked until soft.
    that what we got on 1st grade, never had a school lunch since. we just buy food or snacks in the school canteen. Some did bought their own from home.

Or you can have a full main meal which sometimes has gammon and mash I don’t get it so idk the full menu but it ain’t as nice as what u get and cold food spinach wraps, wet soggy pasta that doesn’t have flavour, sandwiches that no one buys coz they don’t have many good flavours ❤
