    I was in public school from 2005-2017. Thinking back, we were only given milk as options to drink. Not even water…. We had to use a water fountain in the hall if we just wanted water. I think that’s crazy.

      In the 80's in elementary school, they would take us out to the water fountain twice a day for water breaks. You had 5 seconds to drink as much as you could. 10 seconds per day. That was all the water we got all day. Pretty pitiful.

    There's been a lot of pushback about school lunches in recent years but I wish some of that would extend to nursing home residents who are at the mercy of institutional food morning , noon and night . I know kids are the future and cuter but we still deserve to live the best quality of life that we can in our final days.

      My parents spent a lot of money (my dad was a retired welder; they weren't wealthy) to spend the last 20 years of their long lives in a seniors' complex. I ate with them on numerous occasions and found the food lacking in both nutrition and palatability. I'm diabetic and, when I requested a diabetic meal while visiting, I got a breaded fish fillet on a white bun. I feel like a first-world whiner even complaining about it but, as I said, they were paying A LOT of money to live there.

    France provides lunches in public schools and although the palatability is variable, it's healthy most of the time. (Fruits, veggies, lightly processed meat or fish, yoghourt, and water) Afternoon snacks are packed by parents and breakfast is taken at home. Prices of schools lunches vary and dépend on your annual income as a family, if you're too poor it's government funded....

    I'm from south america and I went to school from 2006 to 2016 and every school in my state had a nutritionist provided by the state government to make the school's menu.
    It wasnt always great, but I always had meat, real meat, and vegetables. Sometimes we had yoghurt as a dessert. And that was it. Idk if schools are still like this, but it was great during my years there.

    I was damned grateful for school lunches in the 70s, cause our parents didn't always have access to gas, which meant trucks didn't always run, which meant food wasnt always available to purchase. We didn't have choices, other than a packed lunch or what was on the school lunch menu. We had a meat, a veg, a starch, and fruit, and sometimes a bread or salad, and milk. If you didn't like it, you went hungry.

    I lived in a South American country. When I was little, until high school, we would only be given some money for snacks, or even have our snacks packed for us until we were in middle school. And then you had lunch when you got home. That was great! Nice home cooked food every day. When I came to the US, I didn’t eat anything, except for chocolate milk, which I didn’t want anyway. But there was nothing else for me to eat, because I did not like the food. Don’t get me started on school breakfasts! One time we got served a chicken patty, and two bread slices. I suppose we were supposed to make a sandwich out of that in the morning, and to top it all off, accompany that chicken sandwich with regular or chocolate milk, and any sugary cereal you can think of. Where I come from, you have a nice breakfast with eggs and everything, and then you go to school.

      You're supposed to have a nice breakfast at home not at school, I think it's ridiculous people go to school expecting to eat breakfast they provide, where I grew up in the US I had oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon and blueberries mixed in and a small egg sandwich and we were by no means Rich, just middle class in a middle class area (this wasn't long ago either I graduated High School in 2018) I brought my own lunch to school but they had literal small salad bars there as well where you could eat healthy it's just a lot of kids DON'T want to.

    You need to take food off the school and give it back to the parents. I live in NZ and the idea of the schools providing the lunch is absolutely crazy. Having a packed lunch made at home and taken with you is how it should be globally. Why are you Americans so bad at looking after your children? It's rather discussing

      I feel that this is an excellent representation of obesity. It showcases the downward spiral of healthy nutrition and an increase in unhealthy food choices from multiple viewpoints. This, in turn, creates the vicious cycle of obesity in our most vulnerable citizens, our children.
