I’ve heard that food served in American schools is bad because of the fact that it’s either fast food corporations taking the spotlight or outsourcing the labor to third party contractors (the same ones who make food for inmates across prisons) but fed towards kids.
Yep, that’s actually the case for them. As comments like: “the food kids are fed at school is exactly prison chow” are said. The company under contract makes the same “slop” inmates eat then ship that at schools for kids (seriously, what are they feeding them?)
In comparison:
- How good is cafeteria food at school in your country?
- Is the food quality actually good as if it’s “home made”?


I remember food in German school cafeterias not being too good, but also not too bad, the teachers ate there too after all. We only had one day a week where school was longer than 1pm, so you only ate at school once a week. They tried to introduce more healthier options around the time I left school.
