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”?
Spain, mixed bag. The food in the school I went (public, poor neighborhood) was quite bad, in every sense of the word. They delivered it to the school already made, and it was just heated there. A friend of mine worked in one where they would order fewer rations than the kids they got and divide them (that was the last straw and he changed career). But I’ve heard nicer things of the food in private schools or public ones in wealthier areas, that have a proper kitchen and actually cooked the food there.
