This is What School Lunch Looks Like in Chickasha, Oklahoma

And it costs $3. What ever happened to sack lunches?
This what happens when bureaucrats make our decisions for us.

I've seen far more tastier and filling trays at the state prison where I used to work as an officer for 21 years.
I used to be able to buy a tray at the start. That all stopped when the HIV scare came along.
Warning future crooks: No steak and baked potatoes. The chicken is never fried. Ice cream served only on July 4th.
Some say it's what you risk in any institutionalized school.
Now I happen to approve of the emphasis on cruciate vegetables--cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. But you still need bigger portions than that. And more protein.
The Federal Government, through the Commerce Clause, started offering free and low cost food programs to districts (State choice on all things educational - as the Fed's powers are delineated in the Constitution and they have NO powers beyond that (theoretically)
More and more districts have said yes.
When you don't do what the Feds want now, they threaten your food program which now all parents expect.
You've been hooked and reeled in, folks. Warned you back then - too late now short of cutting them off completely and saying, "NO - stay OUT of our schools!"
You can still do it, one district at a time.
Here's this week's menu. I suppose it might be the wrong week, but this looks more like what I recall as "school hot lunch".
Good to see a healthy dose of skepticism about these things.
Might still be true, but...
Have to check back next week.
I get a fair number of e-mail newsletters with articles of this sort, which I read mostly for laughs. Most start off with a piece like this, then continue on to state that something or other is a definite sign of the Second Coming. I highly recommend Before It's News--at least as entertaining as a supermarket tabloid, but free.
I hear people saying they can react to peanuts "in-the-air": the guy next to you in the plane; the hawker at the ball-park.
Whatever!
If you're that sick you need to stay in your bubble.
I'll believe it when I see them pass a double-blind test.
Seems there was a day when people who had allergies just declined the food they couldn't eat - not force the rest of us to abandon it as well.
Maybe somebody wised up?
Just an observation... oh, and while I can't bring a bottle of water from home onto the plane, I can buy bags of peanuts and peanut-M&Ms in just about any airport's concession stands and take THEM on board.
Funny TSA and bureaucracy... eh?
How stupid can she be? Oh, sorry... answer is self-evident.
What we have to day is PC, and that's about all.
Devil in the details....
