So if things were actually better 70 years ago, what does that have to do with Obama? He probably ate that same rectangle pizza when he was a kid.

Or he would have if he wasn't raised in Indonesia. :supaburn:

Obama ate samosas and rice, with some great sauces. He knows nothing about the experience of American school lunch.

So you want to spend my tax dollars hiring lazy public sector (probably union) bums to serve my kid arugula (aka "fag lettuce")?

When exactly did schools stop actually cooking lunches? My grandmother used to be a lunch lady and they made the food at that point. But we're talking 40-50+ years ago. I never bought a school lunch growing up, but looking at it, I never wanted to because it was definitely the sort of processed garbage that we see now. That was in the 90's to early 2000's. This was in the same school district that my grandma worked at, so I assume that the drop off happened somewhere in the middle. But, I'm not sure where that would be.

If I remember right, the lunch ladies at my school said they made the bread (and they were very proud of their bread), but that was all.

What do you count as "cooking"? I mean a lot of schools "cook" just as much as a generic restaurant does, making large batches from partially prepared food.

Well as my grandmother talks about it, during her years in the cafeteria food was cooked from scratch. Whereas when I was in school it seemed that food prep was largely heating.

Yeah but, define scratch. Like most people aren't going to, say, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by grinding down peanuts to make the peanut butter and baking the bread+slicing it themselves. Or take apart a bunch of chickens to seperate out breast meat, drumsticks, etc.

At my high school, the order list from SYSCO for the kitchens, according to the school board meeting I attended at least, was basically stuff that a normal person would use to make the same stuff rather then fully pre-cooked stuff you could just chuck into a heater. If you were just in the cafeteria line then like sure it was being pulled off a warmer, but that was just because they did the cooking while we had morning classes.
