School cafeterias weren't a thing until I was in Grade 11 and moved to the city. In the rural schools, if you didn't bring lunch you didn't get food. Or you could go home if you lived in the town, most of the places I lived were a 5-10 minute walk to get across. So I'm glad I don't have that nasty meal experience.

I remember when they were increasing the prices on school lunches, the actual lunch went from $2 to $2.50 which was reasonable, but then they slapped the .50 increase on literally everything without scaling it so cookies went from .50 to $1. They were really lovely cookies too. Like, so lovely that people started specifically going out to the nearby Ralphs just to buy a $6 dozen of the store cookies because they were literally twice as big and half the cost.

Oh god its all coming back to me Sandwiches that were mostly bread so goddamn dry it literally crumbled in your hands filled with deli meat with big crunchy chunks of cartilage imbedded in it. Cookie sludge. Cartons of orange juice that were still loving frozen. Pizza that was essentially wet tomato bread but still gave you the worts heartburn of your life.

Humboldt Squid posted:Oh god its all coming back to me  My high school (rural NorCal) had great lunches for some reason though; they had a rotating schedule hot bar that one week would be pasta, the next would be Mexican, and the next sandwiches to order, and then it would repeat. I used to get these sandwiches that started with a long roll opened to 180 degrees and laid flat, with mayo and cheese, upon which the lady would pile on all this freshly sliced, flaky turkey that had clearly come straight off a bird rather than being a formed pressed grainless loaf of wet processed deli gel. Then I could stack on all the pickles I wanted

My high school had some surprisingly good food, too. Every day there were caesar or greek salads. Chicken Caesar wraps. Two days a week you could get a paper plate with fries piled on, mozza cheese, and gravy for 5 bucks, and there were different specials the other days. There were also burgers, which were either with cheese and lettuce, or covered with fried onions and BBQ sauce.

They called that an "Italian Dunker" where I grew up. It was on the menu at least once every other week, probably because it costs about 10 cents to make and lunch was a fixed price of $1.65. However my high school had Pizza Hut and Subway delivered once each week and would sell slices and 6" sandwiches for $2.50.

My middle school had motherfucking Taco Bell, it was great. Everything came without onions, and was cheap as poo poo. Your five bucks or lunch voucher could get you a proper meal or an armful of bean burritos and an ice cream sandwich. I loved it in 1994 but I can see how it's also why America is so disgusting. Actual food porn for school kids, but anti- as far as public nutritional policy goes.

VendaGoat posted:What is there that people willingly live there? Average income for Natives there is less than $17000 a year, and a plane ticket for a single person out would be about $2000.  So, I wouldn't say most people are willingly there. I think they've since reduced "necessary items" but this doesn't include baby formula, feminine hygiene or a lot of non-food items. It's a huge pain to get food out there. Of course, they were chiefly interested in hunting, but people get really sandy about that.

Eponine posted:Crushing debt, your entire family, your lifestyle and home. The latter is probably it for the older generation. From what I understand of Inuit culture and how it's changed over the years, European-style foods and modern processed foods have been steadily pushing out the old standards of subsistence hunting and mild foraging. Modern hunting methods with snowmobiles and firearms is also more costly than traditional methods, but the old methods are much slower and less appealing to people who aren't hardcore traditionalists. So as the price of pre-packaged foods gets lower, Nunavut will likely get dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century with the subsistence hunting going the way of the dodo.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Uhm, Australia is the biggest producer of Wagyu outside of Japan. They even have an Australian Wagyu Association. Maybe it's not big where you are personally but it's a "thing" down under. Interesting. I don't see that much of it at most butcheries or even supermarkets and where I live is a very foodie town. Maybe it isn't grown here (my butcher supplies from local farms) or any that is locally is exported. Even in Brisbane which is near me I've only seen it at one butcher and it was a marble score 7. So I dare say it may be getting exported. Even black Angus is hard to find, my butcher gets a rather small amount but not that much. Supermarkets sell more of it and the cuts are poo poo Ignimbrite posted:Just because we produce it doesn't mean a lot of it enters our residential market. That's the way a lot of our produce goes, we export 'premium' goods, then our supermarkets buy in dirt cheap poo poo from whatever because it's cheaper. I'm in south east Queensland and it's much the same. Even friends out west from my time at uni don't raise wagyu. But yeah, it's pretty well mostly exported unless you're Matt Moran or any other similar high-profile restauranteur who can justify selling a 200g rib eye for $120.
