If this was school lunch, I'd be able to get my son to eat it. He's tried it a few times and wasn't happy.
My parents eat beef two or three times a week, he takes the leftovers for lunch.

I've never seen a meal that balanced in an American school.

Our pizzas were square, though.The only thing we had that tasted worth a damn, but was probably shit for nutrition, was the meat loaf.

France and Italy's look the best to me, with Brazil coming in third.

Brazil was first for me due to plantains, then Italy.

I can't remember if our school kept it stocked, but I was fully obsessed with that stuff when it came out.

I feel like cabbage and Brussels sprouts together is a bit much, but without question beats the old pizza + corn + cake or brownie + chocolate milk combo I remember.

When I was a kid, maybe 7 or 8, I wrote a letter to the milk company complaining because they took the silly kids' jokes off the school milk cartons and replaced them with health PSAs. They sent me back coupons for a free gallon of milk and a free gallon of ice cream, at a time my family was very poor.

Thanks for bringing back the memory!

Only thing my cafeteria made that was decent was the poutine .... Insert Canada joke here.

Never had anything remotely close to looking that good in grade school.

Usually 2 pieces of bread with a slice of balogna. At least I think it was balogna but who really knows.

Some burnt french fries and some half frozen green peas.

All served up by an overweight woman with warts on her hands that you would stare at in horror hoping that it doesnt come in contact with the food.
