as for school lunches, I worked as a day custodian, lunch room monitor, for elementary. middle and high school, and yes there is allot of waist, allot more than I remember when getting hot lunch as we called it when i was a kid. even a poor kid is not going to eat these healthy foods they serve, because its crap to them, better to give them something they will eat, even if aint the healthiest than to give them something they going to just dump in garbage along with there carton of semi warm crap milk.
