i believe that school cafeteria food (at least our cafeteria) is all recycled. we had fried chicken, then chicken nuggets, than chicken noodles. i don't think the lunches have any nutrients in them.

on a normal school filled, work filled day, i only come here about an hour (sometimes more if i get time.) answer any posts that i am involved in and log off or go somewhere else, such as over there. besides, i think this is the first time i've joined a forum (never cared to before. before lance and eskimo) and it's real fun. plus, thanksgiving weekend started today. so you will see a lot of me, considering that about 4 people who come here are friends of mine.

[font=Comic Sans Ms][size=4]I agee about the cafeteria food. It's all poor swill to only give children enough nutrients to sustain them for more loathsome hours of torture by public schooling. I always brought my lunches to school.

They said that "uniforms make you behave", refused at one time to remove the vending machines and provide better quality ingredients in their meals so they got it the other way round. Food plays a part in the causes of behaviour. So stupidly they instantly put the myths to practice and ignored all the facts. I suppose on what looks trendy for the students and prettiest for their profit.

Typically:
Chips that grind in my teeth.
Burgers that are so thin. I am concerned about how much meat is inside of it.
Beans that taste like grass. As for putting it in the microwave.
Drinks charged at expensive prices and even for bottled water.
Salad that doesn't tastes right.

Some examples to the attitudes I see commercially:

Hello, do you have any ginger cordials?

No but we have ginger beer.
Just need to look.
That'll be $1.50
But this is chemically flavoured. I wanted ginger!
It is a ginger beer that is equivalent without any ginger in it.
Why?
Because it is economical for us.
Economical for you to ban people from going home to eat.
Look if you are going argue with me I'll get you banned from coming in here.
It is a legal requirement for me to eat and drink you know.


How much beef are in these burgers?
Enough for you.
I need to know as I had four so far, they are thin and I still feel hungry.
I am not sure, it only states 200 grams for whole bag of 20 burgers.
10 grams, Is that all??? and I paid $3.00 for this?
Well even though it is in small amounts the certificate does say that these were specially selected as healthy eating meals for school children's diets.
Okay well what are the ingredients on the bag?
It doesn't say.
Well then in that case, where is your proof? Isn't it illegal for them not to state the ingredients on the packaging like any other food package?
LOOK! I've had it up here with you, your complaining and questioning, now either buy something and eat or get out.
I wasn't complaining, I am enquiring about facts here as I am the one that has to pay for it and eat it. I want to know exactly I am eating here.

I went abroad in 1991 and the food tasted cooked and straight. Seven years later they served the same food with burn't bits of bacon, uncooked greasy turkey with cold gravy and half cooked mash.

I do not like food that is cheaply mass produced. The chemicals that are put inside the food to make it appear sweet can impact on behaviour and thinking. I can tell the difference after eating plenty of chemicalized modified foods that are so sweet. I even tried experiments to confirm that on chocolates.

The places I like is where they make their own foods from local produce.

I just don't eat at lunch. Luckily enough school lunch happens about 2 hours before schools goes out, so I usually just eat breakfast and wait it out untill 2:00 to get home to eat.

Nutrition aside, I just don't want to eat cafeteria food because it isn't worth the money they charge. I could do so much more with 2 dollars than try and choke down a dry baked potato smoothered in nacho cheeze and yesterday's chile.

School life ended for me before I could experience the pleasures of the newly build canteen... which means that I'm one of the last lucky guys who didn't have to stay four more hours each day to compensate for our country's horrible horrible horrible filthy vile and abominable educational politics. Although that new canteen looked kind of neat. Probably because it was new. Wouldn't have wanted to eat there though, what with my house being two little kilometres away from it.

That is what happens when they undermine people with profit.

A lovelly all organic smoked ham sandwich with tomatoes on top and pickle in proper brown bread keeps me stable throughout the day.

Instead I got something that looks like an old ladies foot cut up in small pieces and a solid round thing that was ripped out of the mud or toilet poop.

Some were good at serving spaghetti bolognaise as well.
Always looked like diarrhea to me. I was wondering why they introduced so many sick bags in the canteen at one point.

Well, I have been in several different schools, so it depends on what I found recycled and nasty or just plain good.

The first couple of schools I went to actually had very good cafeteria food. Different schools get food from different companies, if I'm not mistaken. So I think that makes a difference: you have to look at what the source is. Who is sending the food to the schools? Are they a good distributor?

Then I went to a school... that had greasy food on an almost constant basis. The bread was greasy. The veggies that weren't fried were greasy somehow. And worst of all, they had a greasy little cake of meat that was labeled "Mystery Meat." Yes my friends, I was served numerous times, a meat that was called "Mystery Meat." And it wasn't good... I'm afraid if I would have stayed there, I would now be dead from clogged arteries and several different strokes and heart-attacks.

"mystery meat"... What a joke. That should be illegal.

I don't know the distributers to the rest but there was only one school I been to that grew their own produce on site but a private firm ran it. The quality of food was a lot better as the kitchen staff made most of the food themselves. The burgers were lumpy but it was properly cooked, fully of meat, less greasy and filling. They cut their own chips and made their own deserts. The good thing is that I got the food free. Seconds were luxurious.

Anyway at other places they use to sell these cheap coloured drinks that made me feel thirsty. I didn't know at the time.

A school that grew their own food? Wow... that's pretty lucky. That's how quality food is created: without having to be packed with preservatives, have a lot of other stuff added to them, frozen for Lord-only-knows how long. Etc.

It was on the main site. The students were not so lucky other than the food.

I always use to feel ill until realising that it was the food. I ignored people who said that chocolate was bad for me, because they never said why.

Not all chocolate is bad after finding this:

I have one these in a go a week. The problem is that the schooles I saw go for the cheapest sweets for their vending machines and overcharge for it.


A foreign cake shop has opened up recently. The food is expensive but hand made with pure ingredients which has to be eaten within two days. They make mouses with a slice of jelly ontop which costs around $5 and eclairs that cost $4. They can make custom foods on ordering such as pizzas with goats cheese, birthday cakes, sausage rolls with melted cheese. I sometimes go there to treat myself. Now I am into cakes. Before when I brought cakes from the supermarket I felt sick which I think is their way of trying to fill someone up. The good thing as I am sitting high on their stools whilst eating is that they have a glass border from the kitchen so I can watch the chefs cook.

Now what do you think of this?
