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?

  1. The hot dogs do look discusting lmfao. They turn really green sometimes, its very odd. I love hot dogs tho. School lunch is just YUCK anyways. I will never eat it again lol. The only thing thats actually tasty and looks good are the nachos, When the cheese hasn't obviously been alive for 10 years. Uck.

  2. The hot dogs either look like they're cooked way too much or not enough but it does always look gross! I don't look at lunch food the same way since I read this. EWWWW
