    In the 70s lots of schools started dispensing with a full kitchen to serve lunch from. Pre-made dishes or vending machines started replacing real kitchen staff who cooked from scratch. Today it's the rare school that does have a kitchen and staff to prepare food for students.

    As a former 90s teen, in high school, my school had a little Taco Bell side unit that wasn't the main lunch. And then after a year or two Taco Bell wanted to make some changes and the school didn't want to pay for them so they kept it up but they just had it as a generic Taco thing where they tried to duplicate things similar to what Taco Bell sold. Still, however, in middle school and high school, the school lunch was provided by marriott. That doesn't mean it was luxurious lunches, it just means that that was the company that provided them. There was usually some kind of lunch that changed daily, but, at least the middle school, there was always Pizza available. Also, in Middle School sometimes kids would get huge trays of fries and share them with everyone at their table. In Middle School specifically we had a sidebar available that had things like Giant pretzels. My grade school didn't have a school lunch service, but a milk box service. I think there was something provided for lower-income kids, because one time I forgot my lunch at school, and the teachers were able to get me one which was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some kind of snack, and some kind of juice box, in a white paper bag. I don't know if that was a backup lunch from a supply for low-income kids, or if they just had some ready in case kids forgot their lunch. In high school I don't think I ever went through the lunch line except for when I got the Taco Bell sometimes. I either brought lunch from home, or, because we had an open lunch, I would go someplace nearby and buy something like gyros or something. The only time I bought something from the cafeteria instead of bringing a packed lunch was when I spent my own allowance money. So, obviously, not having a lot of allowance to spend, I brought lunch more often than not. Sometimes, in Middle school, after I finished, I would get a giant pretzel or something. However, after getting a job when I was 16, I was more likely to take advantage of the open lunch and go buy a gyro or something.

    I lived in 5 different states in the 90s, and not one of the school that myself or my older siblings went to EVER served fast food for lunch! I started school in 1977.... So it was very few states that did that...

    As a malaysian person my school is Chinese and they want us to pick our own food example:sausage (chesse) - RM1. 00 per one , Rice (any topping) -RM1-2 (rm 1 for small portion)
  • Fun fact in 1910 they were actually not told to provide school lunches because most students would bring them lunches from home is 1930 is when they legalize schools have to hot lunches and also metal silverware was banned in 1992 edit cat has pretty feet

    In Greece, (My Country), we get school lunch with only 50 cents (56 US cents) and you can get with 1 or 2 Euros (1,09 Dollars or 2,18 Dollars) pretty cheap! but, the least is only 10 cents (0,11 US cents) It is gum of course! and with 30 cents (33 US cents) you can buy 1 one pack of candies! In my school, one Tyropita costs 1 Euro (1,09 Dollars) and Koulouri with also 1 Euro (1,09 Dollars)
  • @jessmartin-gw2ne
    The reason school lunch got more expensive year and year. Because $1 was a lot to a kid back in the 1900s so it's meant to be cheap even in the 2000s
