How Brands Like Domino's Profit From School Lunch

  • Roughly 30 million kids in the U.S. eat school lunch every day, and "Big Food" companies have a pretty big stake in what makes it on kids' trays. It starts with federal money, but before USDA funding makes it to cafeterias, many school districts order from food giants like Tyson and PepsiCo who grab a big slice of the school lunch pie.
    We hear a lot about school lunches in America and the food itself doesn't always get the best reputation. From Hollywood depictions to real life memories, the school cafeteria is a quintessential part of American culture.
    Who decides what food gets put on the tray? And how come one school serves this on a $1.25 budget, while another serves this? Why are teachers working at McDonald's for a night? And how does a slice of Domino's pizza meet USDA guidelines?
    Those are all loaded questions with complicated answers, but if you really boil it down the answer is money. Lots and lots of money.
    The billion lunches that get doled out in school cafeterias every year make up a multibillion dollar industry that makes sure millions of kids are fed. It starts with federal money but on its way to cafeterias, school districts have to order the meals and food giants grab a big slice of the school lunch pie.

      The funny thing though... they are vegetables. I mean kinda... tomatoes are fruit 😕.
      That said... you should definitely not be eating a vegetable size portion of ketchup.
      My gravy for roast is mainly tomato, onion, carrot and celery and of course the beef drippings. I’m sure much more nutritious than ketchup... point being, would my gravy count as a vegetable? Not letting them classify these things as vegetables would limit their abilities to provide yummy 🤤 food.
      The real issue is WHY would a school decide to serve ketchup as a vegetable... not that it is labeled a vegetable but that’s my 2 cents.

      Actually, in many "western" countries kids don't get lunches at schools, they either buy snacks at school's buffet or get lunches from home. In my country, considered "eastern European" - Czechia, warm lunch (consisting of several courses - it always includes soup and main course, usually with salad or desert or fruit) is served in every kindergarten, elementary and high school, and the nutritional value is part of law which gets actualized every few years... Oh, and we eat with actual metal cutlery and on ceramic plates, no place for anything plastic.

    When I was helping out some kindergartners when I was in elementary school, the school usually gave free lunch to kids. I helped a kid open his food up, and he bit into it and told me it tasted weird. It was a knock off sausage McMuffin, and the meat was raw.
    That’s why I always took my lunch to school after that.

      It really is. Kids already gravitate towards eating unhealthy food and food corporations exploit it as much as they can. It's been going on for decades and it's only getting worse. Most of what is served in schools isn't food, it's products. Govt should make it mandatory for these corporations to disclose how much they are making off school lunches. Doubt it will happen. Even if parents try to teach their kids to eat healthy and give them homemade lunches, from my friend's son he tells me many of them just throw them away and use their allowance to buy sugary or fatty cafeteria food or vending machine snacks.

Rice, Grains, Dal, Oil & Gas is supplied by the Govt and some money based on the students count is allocated to buy fresh vegetables, coconuts etc. There are cooks & helpers appointed for each school. The food is really delicious & I was only fortunate enough to savour this food till 7th standard. All students get the same meal but the dishes change on regular basis.

    Most schools in my district have free breakfast and lunch. They also have a free dinner program you have to sign up for and you take it home from school at dismissal. How good the food is really depends. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's awful. You usually can buy snacks like chips or fruit gummies or popsicles for a dollar or less. Sometimes, there were free ice cream cup days.

      Why are some kids required to stay in school and do schoolwork on holidays if they get a low grade?
      Why don't schools pay more attention to their students so that if a child is starving at home, they can be taken out of that home?
      Why is most school food so expensive with limited to 0 options in most schools for 'free food'.

      @Micky G that’s just the way the US works.
      It amazes me every time I see a US politician ripping some third world country for being corrupt.

    My school has reasonably good food. My usual meal is medium quality pasta with meatballs and slightly plasticy cheese (better when melted), a strawberry yoghurt, and a cookie (usually vanilla shortbread/chocolate/rainbow sprinkle) or if they have it, lemon drizzle cake. On Fridays, there's a rotating menu of plain fries, potato squares with herbs, or potato wedges, with either fish or fish cakes, and peas/baked beans. There's also a larger meal, but I don't tend to go for that.

    Our high school cafeteria was basically a restaurant...
    They served breakfast and lunch, and the food is so good even the town workers go to the high school for breakfast every day...
    And this was back in the 90's....
    You could walk into the cafe at almost any time (they closed the kitchen for half an hour between breakfast and lunch to changeover from breakfast to lunch, but literally any other time of the day you could walk in and order any breakfast item during the breakfast hours or any lunch/dinner type item after 11:00 a.m.
    I still crave THIER hash browns and breakfast sandwiches! No restaurant compares to the bacon egg & cheese sandwiches our lunchladies made for us.... Double egg, double bacon, triple cheese, for $2?! And coffee or hot chocolate or a selection of juices (or whatever bottled water or soda from the machine)
    All different flavors of bagels and all different types of bread rolls, we had a bagel slicer and a bagel toaster... What school cafeteria is so good that the towns utility workers actually go there for breakfast and lunch every single day? Portland High School in little 'ol Portland CT....

    as a current high school junior, the stuff we make in my food science class is more edible than what they serve at lunch. literally half the time the food is half "cooked" (reheated) and its barely edible. the lunch ladies also serve us barely enough to be called a meal and they stash leftovers in the back to eat themselves. its insane.
