      i come from a country from the commonwealth of nations and from 5 years old to 17 we had to buy our own food from the school cafeteria or bring our own food from home...up to 12 years old i can probably count the amount of times i had something "bought at the cafeteria" on 1 single hand, and from 13-17 i didn't eat at school at all, what we called "lunch time" was just a break between classes and we either played sport with friends or messing around with new technology out-of-class (mostly computers).
      i don't know this system of free-food it was never offered to us in schooling after 5 years old, but i have a good job now as well as iv'e had many good jobs in the past.

      This is not true, or the state would take those children away. It's probably the most nutritious meal of those kid's day, and they'd be skipping lunch without it. In America (in the west) it's a crime to not feed your child at all.

    American school lunch is so different depending on the state. Some states restrict a lot of foods, because health. Other schools have a loaded baked potato bar, and pizza. You can of course bring any kind of food from home you want though. Also they usually only offer free lunch to students who's family don't make a lot of money.

      And they’ve added more foods that some of the kids may have allergies to that aren’t allowed to be brought to the schools. 😢

    A few corrections are needed here:
    1) That was way more food than what is in an American school lunch. Our school lunches consist of a protein, a vegetable, a fruit, a grain, and a small carton of milk. That's it.
    2) Our school lunches are NOT free, except for those who apply and qualify for free lunches due to low income.
    3) Our kids have complained about how awful school lunches are since the beginning of time. Schools nowadays have kiosks that sell various fast foods that are much less healthy, but much more tasty. Many, if not most, kids purchase these other foods in the school cafeteria.

    You took 6 slices of bread with some cheese, maybe a slice of ham to school with a beaker (?) of milk with a screw top to school. That was all.
    When I arrived in America, they had lunches like the one shown but a bit worse. Think cheese burgers, pizza and FRENCH FRIES. All shitty.

    Back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when I was going to school on the East Coast, we had lunches like these! The Schools I attended had Cafeteria with attached Kitchens! It was only when I switched to Catholic School and then moved to California when I missed out!

      You wrote the first part so much like what I could have written, that I had to do a doubletake and make sure I hadn't written it myself! 😅
      I went to public schools in Virginia from 1963 to 1975. We had all lunches cooked in-house. We had a full cafeteria, and a full kitchen, completely staffed. Very little pre-prepped food of which I was aware. I went to 7 different schools in three cities and 7 different buildings. So, I had a wide variety of qualities as well. From a few schools built in the 50s, the 60s for one of them, one in the 1920s, another in the early 70s that wasn't even complete when we started school there - the auditorium was last to be finished and we had our first assembly there right after Christmas break. It was SOOO nice - all carpeted except the science labs, and the bathrooms and the gym. It had full central air conditioning, which every school I went to before this one (#6) did not have. But the one thing it had that I didn't care for was not a single window that opened! Not one. But it had very nice locker rooms, and gyms for boys and girls. And outside areas for sports. This was my sophomore year, in 1972-73. But, of course we had to move again, and I finally ended up in the last school I would attend, and graduate from. No A/C, old building that was built in the early or mid 50s that was so huge and spread out, it was dubbed "The Little Pentagon!" They allowed 10 minutes between classes, because it could take that long to get from one to another. The school I went to which was built in the 20s was three stories high, had marble (granite?) hallway and stairway floors, wooden classroom floors with the holes in them where desks used to be bolted down to them. And giant wooden windows which did not have screens, and had to be raised and lowered with the help of window ropes and sash weights in the insides of them. The cafeteria served some pretty good lunches, but since this school was right in the middle of downtown, it was also in a economically depressed area, and had an early morning breakfast program.. Anyone could get this great breakfast - cooked on site - OJ, milk, toast and butter, scrambled eggs and fabulous bacon FOR A DIME. I lived not far from the original Smithfield, Va., where they were still raising and butchering their own hogs, curing and packaging the world famous Smithfield Hams, and all the other pork products they were world famous for, and the bacon came from them! It was marvelous. There was a Federal Dept. of Agriculture program that sponsored the breakfast programs in poor areas, and any student or teacher there could get breakfast for a dime for students. And it was more for staff and faculty.
      The only reason I ended up going there at all was because Virginia was still trying to play catch-up in 1970 with racial "balancing" by bussing almost everybody. I lived WAY far away, and should have been going to one of two totally different schools, instead I ended up riding the school bus everyday at least 45 minutes each way. Even longer if I took the early AM Band Bus, which picked us up at 6:45. But when they started this bussing business, they wrecked a lot of kids educational plans, and extra curricular plans, by sending them all over hell and gone to schools they never would have attended under normal circumstances. I had a cousin who got bussed so far away she spent 2 hours a day just riding the bus.
      I guess there were a lot of mad parents, and students too, and some lawsuits went around in the local and state courts. I was starting 8th grade, and that system was then using 5 year high schools, from 8 to 12. I went there the last year it ended up being a high school at all, since the plan by mid year was to turn some into middle schools, and others into 4 year high schools. For a lot of Juniors, it was a giant pita because that meant they had to change high schools all together for their Senior year. Many had been there since 8th grade, and that's where their loyalties were. Football teams, including the State level championship team, were all split up, the bands were fractured, the basketball teams were messed up, and academics could have been affected too, depending on college plans and accumulated credits. Anyway, it was a mess. We moved again, and I ended up in a nearby city with Junior High Schools in place. So, I went from being the lowest of the low, in 8th grade in a 5 year high school, to the top of the heap as a 9th grader at a totally unfamiliar junior high! 10th and 11th would be the same - different cities, different schools, changing loyalties every year. It's hard enough being the new kid on the block once or maybe twice, but 8 times in 12 years? (One school I went to from two different neighborhoods.) It was getting embarrassing actually.😢

    If you want a truely authentic school lunch , bake the tater tots till extra dry, hard and crunchy like glass , leave the fruit and veggies out till slightly brown and soggy , only use one table spoon of sauce with a meat like substance ,use buns that someone sat on ,and have it served by a 75 yr old former correctional inmate named Bertha covered in prison tattoos. 👍 Now that's An American school lunch

      Sounds like what we were forced to eat. In Jr high I tried the school pizza. Pizza obviously invented by someone on LSD. or a politician. Take cardboard, spread a 1 micron layer of catchup on it, and a half a teaspoon of tiny Spam pieces, wave a slice of cheese over it- if you were lucky a crumb might fall & land on the "pizza", and either it was liquidy or it could have been used as a bomb shelter material. I took 1 bite and threw it in the garbage. You had no choice of foods. Everybody got the same government surplus food. K rations were a taste treat and a feast by comparison! Plus you got more in the K ration.

    The basic lunch consist of a fruit, a vegetable, a grains, a protein, a serving of dairy. Only sauce i had available was ketchup. On fridays the protein was fish. Either fish sticks, or fish patty on a bun with cheese, tartar sause for the fish and ketchup for the fries that almost always came with it, veg was usually over cooked buttered green beans and apple sauce. Sometimes you got a desert. Pudding, cake, or cookie. Choice of either white or chocolate milk. Another meal i remember a half cup of instant mashed potatoes. A ladle of chopped up turkey meat in gravy that they put over the potatoes , buttered peas and carrots, a half slice of buttered bread fruit coctail, a chocolate chip cookie, milk. All meals were based on the usda food pyramid of what a well balanced diet should consist of. A lot of times the foods we were given were leftover from goods made to feed our military. Stuff that would go bad if not used within a year or so. . The usa stock piles tons of foods to be used during hardships. Such as happened during the depression. A lot of staples like corn, flour, sugar , canned meats chicken, beef, pork, honey, dry beans. And much more as they get close to their shelf life they release it to be used by many government run institutions such as schools, hospitals, ect
