The food is trash because the budget was cut down to the bone ("muh taxes") and the cafeteria workers have to bulk purchase out a bunch of prepackaged ingredients made by companies that lobbied the government to reclassify tomatoes as vegetables so they can squeeze out a little more profit. You're right about one thing though; there's no competition. The game was rigged by corporations from the start.

Real competition is the core of capitalism. There needs to be direct customer choice, and prices that aren't just fixed.
