Everything goes to the lowest bidder. I'm certain the samples looked a lot better.

My school lunch was pretty good. Plus I got free lunches at that. Thanks Ma, for being poor.

I had better food even during the fall of USSR

I don't understand here.

Back in my old time, cafeteria food was also shit, so everybody was bringing their lunch (a sandwich, some fruits, a little boxed juice) and we called a day.

Is that piece of bread and rice (rice right?) and the piece of brown chicken we are seeing in the corner (badly cut out of the picture for more dramatic effect) free of charge? If so, what are you complaining about? If not, why don't you bring your god damn sandwich like it has always been?

I was thinking that seemed pretty decent as far as school food goes. Still, the point still stands.

We wouldn't be the most powerful nation on earth of it were any other way.

Maybe being the most powerful is overrated

Tbh, the way schools run is more akin to communism than capitalism. That food is trash because the school cafeteria isn't competing with anyone else.

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.

Or is it the other way around?
