It’s important that growing children eat healthy, but judging by the appearances of some school lunches out there, it doesn’t seem like schools like to deliver the goods. But the Sweetgreen restaurant chain released a series of school lunch comparisons from countries around the world, giving us a look at how culture and geography can affect the diversity and healthfulness of school lunches.
From a US or UK perspective, the school lunches in many other countries seem mouth-wateringly fresh and varied. The lunches from Brazil and South Korea especially stood out for their delicious-looking variety. In other countries, unfortunately, lunch ladies have earned reputations as distributors of foul, toxic concoctions.
Let us know in the comments – which lunch looks the best to you? What did your childhood school lunch look like?

Load More Replies...I'm from Finland and I have NEVER seen anything like that in schools! :D It's totally different in real life.
this is ridiculous! not even in private schools in Brazil children will eat like this! most of them don't even have lunch in schools
America's school lunch looks absolutely pathetic compared to those other school lunches.
First of all the school lunches shown are not real school lunches. Second, in most countries there are no school lunches.
Load More Replies...would be better if people from different countries sent a pic of their school meal coz I dont believe it looks like this in those countries.
That's a marvelous idea. True journalism! While acceptable for FOOD Network magazine, these photos are too stylized. Nice idea though.

I know, right?! Back in my days, I didn't even get a school lunch. I would've probably appreciated the loaf and milk too.
Load More Replies...Looks like they all bought the same old wood planks as well
Load More Replies...omg the Italian option looks amazing, and I also agree that the US option is simply pathetic compared to the other ones!
sorry to disappoint you, but I'm Italian, and I have NEVER seen anything like that in Italian schools!
Load More Replies...I'm not sure this is an accurate representation, it is relying on stereotypical foods tbh. Trust me, I think many schools have it far worse.
If someone is going to truly compare school lunches around the world, photograph REAL lunches around the world, not made up props.
