It’s a well known fact that childhood obesity is a growing epidemic in the US, yet many schools continue to serve lunches that have little to no nutritional value. And the problem isn’t a money one. According to the folks behind Fed Up, “There is no major cost difference between nutritious and not nutritious food at schools.” And yet, Fed Up reports, 71% of kids are unsatisfied with the lunches they’re served at school.
They wanted to do something about it, so they encouraged over 25K kids to participate in their “true state of school lunch,” a project that resulted in 7,025 photos being sent in that document school lunches from around the country.
Now Fed Up is posting these pics and allowing visitors to vote whether to “Eat it” or “Toss it.”
Here are some examples…
Pork slop
Crispy potato wedges
Noodle surprise
Nachos
“Pizza”
“Pasta”
Chili dog and cheese fries
Salisbury steak
Beefaroni
Some sort of hot pocket thing
