Good or Bad: Buying in Bulk

A lot of school lunches are things that the school orders and are already premade and frozen, only needing to be warmed up and served. Like pizza dippers. They come in huge sheets that are then heated and cut apart to be fed to us. This style of lunch is economically smart for the school but, is it smart for the students? To be eating all of those preservatives and whatever else the company adds. Obviously hot dogs are in this category of frozen food, but the thing about it is, why do they turn partially or all of the way green once they are cooked? It looks disgusting, but I still see people eating them. Is it the way that the kitchen staff cooks them, or do they just do that? Personally, I always go to the ala carte line when it is hot dog day.  Sometimes buying in large can be good, if the food at least tastes good. I am not complaining about the pizza dippers, I like those.  Obviously I think they should do something about their hot dogs, perhaps get them from a different company or cook them a different way to avoid the green coloration. Are there any other foods that you think should be cut or praised?

What constitutes as a 'lunch'?

What do you think of when you think of a school lunch? Some gelatanous mass that the lady in the hair net scooped onto your tray? Well maybe not all of the time. Our high school's food is a big improvement from our previous school where they overcook veggies everyday and find a way to burn tomato soup; serously, we were in grade school and the whole friggin cafiteria smelled terribly of burn soup, on top of that it tasted terrible. Except for the yellow sponges that the cooks call 'eggs', our high school's food isn't that bad, or is it? After eating the cantalope yesterday, I hear on the news that there is an outbreak of some disease in cantalope in Wisconsin. Doesn't that make you feel safe?
