What's everybody bitching about?

It looks just like what it is:

Prison food...

I've never had prison food but I've had jail food:o and it was pretty good. I spent 2 nights and one day and I had sausage biscuit for breakfast and PB&J (grape jelly) for lunch and dinner. I would definitely choose jail food over any of that garbage.

Social services in some states would be all over parents if they fed "meals" that resembled anything close to these. To spend money on having the state feed your children like this is insane.

This is somewhat misleading. My brother is in high school and his lunch menu looks nothing like the lunches in these pictures. He's required to have a fruit and a veggies side dish with each lunch and some of the lunches aren't that bad. They have like 15 different entrees to pick from (including things like subs and chicken with rice) and have the option of packing a lunch. It might be different at other schools though.

Back when I went to high school (pre-Michelle Obama lunches) the student gov pushed for an open lunch policy so people could either go home to eat or go to the grocery store cafe and other eateries that were right next to the school. It didn't pass and likely because the school knew an open lunch policy would put the cafeteria and snack shack out of business. A bunch of kids started bringing in food from home and would host mini potlucks. Others would give their senior friends money to sign out (which you could do once you turned 18) and buy Subway. It was funny watching them find ways around the lunch rules.
