30 Photos Of School Lunches From Around The World That Couldn’t Be More Different

I grew up in America in the Sixties and Seventies, and we received a home cooked meal in our cafeterias by local, respected dieticians. The food was always fresh from scratch and wonderful tasting. I know for an absolute fact.... that several of my classmates got the only meal they would get that day, at school. Poverty in America was rampant then and it's much worse today. I watched Reagan and the Republicans dismantle the school nutrition program so they could build more battleships to defeat the Russians.... Well... You keep shooting yourselves in the head, and your descendants, because you fall into the hateful rhetoric of the Republicans. The people who vote Republican are the ones getting screwed the worst, but darn it, no darkies are getting free food or health care! Neither are you, dimwits.

I'm officially jealous!!

I woulda loved to have this

Lucky lol

"what is your favorite side dish?" "Bang chan hyung!!!!!!!"

I'm an adult and my lunch doesn't even look this good.

wow, something that could actually provide me with nutrition and not leave me starving the whole day

Those noodles look good

So, do teachers get the same meal and do you think you need more international teachers on various subjects and if so, can I please come over? Asking for myself.

I love black bean Noodles with Kimchi.

Can adultes go to this school? I'd like to sign up to take classes in painting, sewing, wood work, history of art, biologie, history, and PE. When and were can we sign in.

I'm hungry now

North or South ?

OMG, I wouldn't be able to touch that soup. I cannot handle food that still has its external body parts attached! Actually I have a real issue with all seafood, but that's another story.

Crab soup? If I got that in a school meal I would think I was dreaming.

Luckily there is a single meatball on the plate, otherwise nobody would believe this is from Sweden /jk

Swedish school lunches usually have two or three different choices of main course, of which one is vegetarian, sallad buffet and bread and butter, water or milk ti drink and sometimes apple or cranberry juice but never soda. There's also special meals for kids with food allergies or special diet due to religious beliefs. Lunches, books, laptops/chromebooks and school transport are all free. The law says school should be equal for all kids, so all should have the same opportunities, so kids can borrow sports gear like skates or skis and music instruments for school activities.

Nice to see it on a real plate!

And still so many swedish students complaine about the food and of course the parents aswell. (Think about your typical "Karen" but they storm the social media how "saaaaad the poor kids are that must eat this horror food.) Buhu, hate the ungrateful brat kids, ugh.

Swedish prison food used to be better than most of Swedish school food. Is that still the case..?

I will kill for the salmon. I am a huge fan of seafood in general so I will definitely accept this even though there's no rice.

I want that salmon so badddd

Milk in a glass???????? Huh??!

WOW.!! 🤤🤤😋😋

I need This

Where I live, a restaurant would charge $15 for something that looks this good.

Nice. And I like sweet potato. But some people ( my husband, for example ) don't.

Must be so delicious and healthy.

This looks amazing

That looks awesome. I myself am a vegetarian so I would love that

This is my favorite.

I REALLY want this and I don't know what half of it is!
