  My school used to have a fruit requirement. You could not have your meal unless you had at least 1 fruit (an orange, apple, or banana). They later changed it that you didn’t need anything except the food you wanted (but they would charge you more without telling you). There was a rumor that went around that the janitor would dig through the trash and pull out any fruit that looked like it could be served again. Almost everyone just assumed it was fake, but still didn’t eat the fruit because it was not very fresh. I did an experiment with an apple and really didn’t think anything of it. I made a mark on that apple that looked like it could’ve just been natural, but it was just different enough that I could tell the difference. I was actually disgusted when I found that same apple 2 days later. I never ate anything from that school ever again

  Fact: brands that have their snacks in school lunches actually change their recipes to meet school lunch health standards, even though their store bought food is MUCH MUCH UNHEALTHIER

  I considered myself lucky in high school when I learned that the sweet lunch ladies would work with the culinary class to chop fresh vegetables and grill chicken for our boxed salads. These big homemade salads would count as an entree because of the chicken, hard boiled egg, and breadstick that came with it, but would also have all kinds of good stuff in a couple varieties. I would always pick them up and thank the lunch lady that told me about it, because she definitely felt more like a lunch mom to the students.

  As an European, American school lunches scare me. In my country school cafeteria was more like a non official restaurant. You could pick from a meniu what you wanted to eat, from soup to fish to meat and other meats and a full meal+drink was usually around 3-4 euros and that&apos;s not talking about the pastries and pizzas( yes, a whole pizza, but it was only one kind) for around 2-3 euros. And you knew what was in the meat, so you were certain that your burger wouldn&apos;t come alive once it was on your plate<br><br>EDIT: I&apos;m from Lithuania and I went to a public school. In my schools there were also programs for parents with very little income where the kids would eat completely for free as well as there was a program where you could pay for the school to provide a meal for your kid and ensure they were eating if you weren&apos;t sure if your kid could be responsible with money and would actually eat instead of saving it to buy toys

  My high school had these cookies that were practically the size of your head. They had either chocolate chips or M&amp;Ms in them, and sooo much butter! Weirdest (and in my opinion, best) part of these cookies was that because they were so big and so buttery, they were never totally cooked all the way through. The outside edges were crispy and chewy, but the inside was like safe-to-eat raw cookie dough!
