I went to schools that were so shit the teachers got part of their student loans waived for teaching there if they did it long enough. You’re about my age, and I would say the pic in the article does look worse than what we ate most days but not by much. Add canned corn or green beans to it and it’d pass for one of the less appetizing meals that we got.

The main difference is almost certainly funding. The really nice neighborhoods probably made both of our lunches look like prison food.
