love how schools have these big commercial kitchens and ostensibly there are folks out there who are decent enough cooks to work them yet we do these bullshit deals to feed kids lunchables instead of making big pots of chili or stew or grilled cheeses or something for what I imagine is way, way cheaper

To be clear I'm not saying they don't eat stuff like that, from google searches though for example they don't get an entire 8 oz wedge of brie they get like a small individually wrapped one more like the size of a babybell or such.



is way different from



theyre the same size (or at least same order of magnitude), one is on a child size tray and the other is a full-size tray

look at the size of the head of the fork and imagine the unwrapped cheese is next to a small apple

I guess that's fair, thinking about tray size they're probably small grapes and I'm being dumb. In my original post I more meant if you walked into a school cafeteria and took pictures of the kids food I think the SK and Japan ones would be p similar to whats shown while the others would still be a far cry better than american strogenoff and a roll or whatever but not entirely to the standard shown sorta like expectations vs reality when you look at advertised food in a commercial and then go to the restaurant itself.

while I don't disagree the pictures are likely staged, if you were actually plating the trays and sticking em in a grab and go window they'd look a lot better than if you handed a lunchlady your tray for them to slop food onto with an ice cream scoop

If lunch trays were made with some sort of organic material that was derived from a plant source, you could in theory tell the school children to eat the lunch tray and they could get all their servings of veggies!

food portion poo poo: Americans MASSIVEly under estimate food portions because of large plate sizing and poo poo. I participated in a study on it a while back and the results were pretty nuts. Like it involved a real nutrionalist preparing a plate for me every day for a week or so and me visually estimating "ah i think thats a cup for mashed potatoes" or whatever and writing it down. Was cool bc it was at work too so super convenient. Anyway its been backed up a ton and there's a slew of studies out there but a goon being unable to accurately say that a pile of grapes is a cup vs 4 cups isnt surprising because most americans cant.

looks like what I did was cited here:

did they like change the plate size up too for each meal?

So the thing about those school lunches from the time before Sodexo and Sysco managed to bamboozle their way into the lunchroom is that the recipes sucked poo poo.

Check out the contents of Quality recipes for school lunch service, from 1988. The finest foods that can be formulated from surplus agricultural production.

There's a reason that the lunch lady in the Simpsons was a running gas.

I'd assume you could get bulk items and ingredients from sysco too though, I imagine it being analogous to what McMaster-Carr is to engineering. It's just lack of will

My partner is grading English papers and the question is just, "What do you think about the readings? Make an argument, any argument."

And an overwhelming majority of the kids just write a (lovely) book report. "Romeo loved Juliet, and then..."

The few that ask for feedback are basically just trying to sus out the "right answer."

the problem imo isnt that they're writing lovely book reports, it's that they're afraid of being wrong (and relatedly, afraid of getting a bad grade because of being wrong) so they write the most inane, safest thing they can think of

crazy how if you brought home like $150k 15 years ago you would be living large but now it grants you the privilege of renting the most bog-standard constructed in 1995 one bedroom apartment with beige floors and "luxury" stainless appliances (stainless being standard for like a decade+ now)

also to even be granted the privilege of renting you have to fork over like five loving grand, what the hell are you supposed to do if you're broke but working a decent job?
