School lunch is an important part of the students’ day. It provides a much-needed break from the classroom and an opportunity to refuel. However, the quality and variety of the menu can vary greatly depending on which part of the globe we look at.

Some schools, for example, have been trying to improve the nutritional value of their lunches by adding more fruits and veggies, reducing the amount of processed foods, and offering options for eaters with dietary restrictions. These efforts can help ensure students get what they need to stay active and focused. On the other hand, some schools still serve meals that are high in fat, sugar, and sodium, which can contribute to obesity and other health problems.

Which Countries Have The Best School Lunches In The World

To see who is on the right track and who is lagging, we at Bored Panda decided to expand on our previous publication on school lunches from around the world and put together a new collection of pictures that vividly illustrate the situation, courtesy of the subreddit r/pics. Enjoy photos of real school lunches around the world, and share a photo of a typical school lunch in your country in the comments below!

    Pics From Some Schools In Korea Known For Having Best School Lunches

    Plate with soup, vegetables, bread, cookies, meat and fruits

    Sweden

    One of the hottest pictures on this list comes from Stockholm, Sweden. Its author, Redditor Cool_Kalkon, told Bored Panda that their school usually serves different types of stews, complementing it with chicken or beef, but there are vegetarian options, too.

    “The quality [of our lunch] is really good considering the budget they have,” Cool_Kalkon explained to us. “The food is always healthy and mostly cooked from raw ingredients in school. They even got a vegetarian alternative every day and a salad bar.” 

    Cool_Kalkon said they don't know how the lunches could be improved because they’re satisfied with the food. But if they were to come up with something, they would probably “cut down on the number of stews and have a bit more variety in the menu.”

    However, the Redditor pointed out that their picture doesn't represent the whole country of Sweden. “There are schools with much worse food and also schools with much better,” they said. “But, all in all, I think it’s fantastic that we are able to get a healthy meal on our plate every day without having to pay.”

    Japan

    On the other side of the globe, we have another Redditor, Sjbfujcfjm, representing the city of Takatsuki in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

    Their picture reveals what the country’s younger kids (2-6 years old) are having. A staff member at White Rose Kindergarten, Sjbfujcfjm told Bored Panda that “Daily lunches usually consist of a portion of meat (fish being a popular option), a vegetable, rice, soup and something sweet like an apple or orange slice or fruit jelly.”

    “The quality is quite good,” the Redditor added. “All of the teachers have the option to eat the school lunch, and we do each day. We have a chef and his crew of 4-5 come in daily to prepare the meals. A few times a month, they prepare a special lunch featuring foods from a specific region of Japan.”

    However, they would like to see more meals featuring food from other countries. “We sometimes have dishes or sides from China or Korea. But I’d like to see a wider variety,” Sjbfujcfjm said.

    I call Bravo Sierra (bullshït) on this. You stand in line with your tray and select what you want put on it. Some ships might not have a great selection, but there is always a protein, starch, and vegetables, and usually a salad bar, plus dessert. I was on a carrier and our aft galley had the healthier options, salad bar, taco bar, and sandwich bar. Our forward galley had more of the junk food, burgers, hot dogs, pizza. Also had a salad bar and a pasta bar. Both had bread, peanut butter and jelly, and dessert. I too could have this put on my tray, take a pic, and say we weren't getting fed.

    Agreed. That’s more typical of midrats, which can be pretty sub-par because the navy rotates a few cooks to serve the overnight watch but they still have to work the rest of the meal schedules too.

    omg! i remember the tales of the food on the ship from my dad and ex hubby. this looks like a poor example. from what they told me, most of the times it was okay. their collective complaints were (and this is not meant to be racist in any way) is that it was their experience that most of the cooks were south east asian/filipino which meant that rice was served at every meal. and, when there was "steak" night they didn't know that it didn't need to be cooked so well done that it was a hockey puck. however, their consensus was that they put out the best baked goods

    Nothing like this in the Danish Navy. My nephew is a cook on a ship with about 100 people. They are one baker and 3 chefs. For example when they have spaghetti bolognese it better be good if 2 chefs have had 8 hours to make it :D

    Before the pandemic, whenever I'd visit, Mum and I would have at least one lunch or dinner at the local (Trenton, Ontario, Canada) army base. Cheap and delicious! It included an extensive salad bar, steaks, fish, pizza, pasta, all kinds of stuff. I miss those meals (civilians aren't allowed back on base, AFAIK).

    I did my military service in the French Navy (not onboard). There is a tradition that the food there is among the best you can get in the military. In previous centuries, bad food was a main concern on ships as it might cause rebellion among the crew. My father had spent 12 months on an aicraft carrier back in the 60's and confirmed this to me (that is where he ate lobsters for the first time). I myself used to run, swim or lift weight for about an hour every day during that time and eventually put on 15 (healthy) pounds in 12 months.

    This is deceiving. Military mess lines offer multiple options, and always involve a starch option on the aise. The OP likely decided he or she didn't like anything else and decided to go with only this, or showed up in the last minutes of chow hours when options were slim.

    I call BS. I lived on US aircraft carriers for most of 9 years. There was usually quite a bit to choose from. On a carrier we even had two enlisted food messes. Aft was 'normal' meals and forward was fast food stuff. While I don't doubt the food pictured was served, they likely had more choices. And some sort of lame meals were often made up by better looking meals.

    What Food Should Best School Lunches Include?

    To contextualize these pictures, we can take a look at the 2021 study by the Global Child Nutrition Foundation that looked into the “food basket” — a fundamental element of any school meal program — of 139 countries.

    Grains/cereals were the most common food category (served in 87% of programs), followed by oil (78%) and legumes (75%). Fruits and vegetables (63-65%) were less common, and animal-source foods were served least often—though there was a high degree of variation across income groups. Poultry, for example, was served in 69% of programs in high-income settings but just 5% of programs in low-income settings.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The gap was even larger for fruits, which were served in 97% and 22.5% of programs in high and low-income settings, respectively—a difference of 74.5 percentage points.

    In high-income settings, children received an average of 8.3 different food categories, while this value dropped to 7.1, 6.5, and 5.2 in upper middle-income, lower middle-income, and low-income settings, respectively. Across regions, this value was the greatest in South Asia/East Asia/Pacific and the lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    What Affects School Lunches Around the World?

    Across all regions and income groups, market purchases were the most common method through which school meal programs procured food.

    These purchases primarily occurred in domestic markets, though 38% of programs purchased at least some food from foreign countries. In-kind contributions from foreign and domestic settings were much less common at 23% and 21%, respectively, and were primarily reported by programs operating in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Because of this, after inflation popped in 2022 to a level unseen in decades, many schools are now forced to spend way more to feed their students. In the US, for example, the price of a meal at elementary and secondary schools spiked by a whopping 305%.

    This Is A Local School Lunch That A School In The Us Served

    Bank_Gothic Report

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine created an energy supply shock, contributing to higher transport costs to deliver food from farm to table. That, combined with other factors such as higher labor costs, underpin fast-rising prices throughout the food complex.

    The industry is really interdependent, too. For instance, global shocks in major markets for vegetable oil — a key ingredient in margarine — drove margarine prices up by 43.8% in 2022. Prices for commodities such as soybean, palm, sunflower, and rapeseed (also known as canola) oil tend to move together, meaning a supply disruption for one tends to affect the whole group.

    Hopefully, everything will get better in the near future, and school lunches around the world will rise to a new standard!

    Now the state of Maryland has more money then to do this all these states do what are these schools doing with the money. Or whoever is suppsoe to make shore these kids eat good. You know there is saying some kids just eat what they get from school. And you know for some that is true so this makes me very sad the United States raise money for hunger and movie stars and extra donate but yet we see this. This haa got to change. Schools should get in trouble for this or whoever is over supplying the kitchen and responsible for this should get in huge trouble.

    the pizza is definitely not from her - she pushed for vegetables and fruits, and it was a good idea - cheaper, stimulating the local industries and healthier. unfortunately everyone else opposed it - schools, corporations that sold pre-packaged foods made from scraps, republicans, even children themselves. and the most concerning is the opposition of the schools, that considered a too large sacrifice to spend few hours cooking. if the political debates will ever stop, you will be shocked to see how huge the social issues are, from attitude problems to efficiency and good faith.
