Thats not even the worst of it, most school water systems are closed systems and are fluoridated.

Most states now unaware to the citizen their entire water system is also privatized.

The biggest problem is that the state and federal government is involved. If the school system follows their “approved” food list, then the food department gets money and free state approved foods to serve to the kids. The food department says that they need this because they don’t make enough money from the sales of meals with the number of reduced/free kids meals that are served. So, they feed them state approved prepackaged, over processed, pre cooked foods to meet the state approval requirements. They serve them sugar free, aspartame added syrup to go with prepacked waffles or premade French toast pieces (not even a whole piece of bread) to go with 1 piece of chicken sausage and a premade hard biscuit. (That’s just one example of a meal served in our district, I have many others from working there for years). Then if a kid is still hungry and they have money, they can buy reduced fat chips, fat free rice krispy treats, fat free hersheys ice cream (not done, commenting more⬇️

Yes but it indeed is also now dominated just like the military with privately contacted agencies doing the food prep. I wash shocked as a cook in the Army to learn they don't use Army cooks on bases any longer, it is a few solider running an entire contracted staff of civilians and that was in the 80's. Contractors equal literal tax robbery and downgraded shit service every time.

And they can buy zero sugar gatorades and powerades and those Ice flavored carbonated water things that have aspartame in them, all for the maximum amount they can charge. Last year for example they charged $2.25 for a small gatorade, $1.50 for a rice krispy treat. There is soy in everything fed to them. We had a kid with soy allergies. The only thing they could eat was either the precooked chicken nuggets (5 in a serving) or a salad. The breakfasts are just as bad. Prepackaged cinnamon roles or muffins, or a precooked egg patty with chicken sausage sandwich and American cheese. All they allowed for sandwiches was American cheese. The most processed cheese there is. Bacon is no longer allowed because of the sodium (it was precooked anyway), but processed ham lunch meat is still allowed (🤦🏽‍♀️). I have that app that rates products (yuka or yuba - I can never remember), and the only thing that rated good was prepackaged apple slices. It’s sickening and sad that no one listens ⬇️

I hated all of it. : )

I lucked out, my tiny town school had a handful of locally hired women who made all or lunches from scratch every single day. Every day was fresh home made bread made every morning. The school halls smelled of fresh bread all day! Now "school" I enjoyed until about 7th grade, then kinda got smarter than the system so it bored the living shit outta me! I dropped out.

I agree… the 💩💩💩 they feed the kids today in school cafeterias compared to what we got in the 60’s and 70’s is disgusting!!!

My small town school had less than 8 women who made ALL the food from scratch EVERY day! Every morning you could smell the bread they made by hand cooking through the school. On rare occasions they over produced you could tell as that Friday would be a soup day! But it was even absolutely amazing!

I agree but i have to ask, are you insinuating applebees is good?

Absolutely do not eat food others make, I am a home cook guy pretty strictly. Former Army cook, & I can cook better then most experienced women (sorry but provably true). I just mean in a quality of content manner the public can relate to. I attended many school lunches with my youngest who is now not in the system so I speak from first hand experience, not just spewing political opinionated bullshit.

Testosterone reducing soy burgers for decades

Food, atmosphere, lighting, counted every hour, corralled into confined spaces and watched over like hawks, all is like a fucking literal prison.
