a rant on school food, for creative writing

[murdockpt]

ill post it here, but mind you, if you steal it, ill kill you cuz im quite proud of it...

Now it seems not even the pidgeons want to eat the schools food. We remember the days of old, where meals were cheaper and you got so much more to cho

down on. Those tatsy little chinese food resembling blobs of MSG and chicken-like substance. The ****** delivered pizzas served too-cold wrapped in cheese

wrap. Ah those were the days of exestantial(sp) health and well-being. Now it looks as if the school is serving us ever cheaper food-stuffs including, but

not limited to the diet of 100% ARTIFICIALLY MANUFACTURED EDIBLES AND MEALS!!! From cookies made by auntie whats-her-face to individually labeled lettuce

bits in our salads, it seems the school are caring less and less about our healthy well-being and palletes.

Walk out to the quad after first lunch and its not styrofoam trays or chinese meal boxes you see, but piles upon piles cookie wrappers, dorito bags and

Tony's tasty microwavable pizza bags, and yet the schools still continue to complain about their students packing on the pounds like hibernating bears and

upping the price of ever fattier foods. With this being said, the typical $3 dollar meal is considerably smaller as compared to the meals of three-years

ago but miraculously, probably contain the same amount of fat and carbs of those larger meals. Dont you miss the times when you went to lunch, bought a

decent meal and actually left for class feeling full and ready for an after meal nap (that i never partook of, haha...)? What about not having to grab a

snack after the dreadfull ride onb the bus home and sitting there packing your face while doing some leftover homework from a class you never liked? Or

even the $5 dollar profit you made after eating a spoonful of the communal gruel that consisted of the remnants of each group members meals, mixed into an

unrecognizable mass of organic material? These memories will be forever lost on future generations if we do not fight now for the return of these

childhood memories you can tell your kids and grandkids repetitively until these spoonfuls become shovelfulls.

With the ever clearer skies, missing the hordes of pidgeons who pratically lined up to get a bite of our not-so-delicious food, we get fatter and fatter,

yet hungrier and hungrier as food standards diminish to artificial salads and man-made chicken, each costing a dollar fifty and a year off your life. So

please, walk up to your local lunch-lady, spit on her shoes, and demand some of that deliciopus gelatinous teriyaki chicken and rice from back when you

were a wee lad and give it to the closest frteshman you find chowing down on cheetos and Rockstar. Tell them you saw a kid explode once when they ate that

particular combination, or that it causes cancer, ANYTHING to bring back those nostalgic meals of old, and help preserve the american dream of cheap foods

by the truckload and athletic failure. Help the future kids of society!!!

comments would be nice btw

[lprowl]

and thats why i don't eat school lunches

[murdockpt]

haha, same

[Rebel]

You do have a choice to eat at school, it's only offered not forced.

[murdockpt]

true, but home meals tend to be a bit more expensive

[lprowl]

and usualy not worth it

[Halfwing Aeon]

actualy they mark up the prices of school food, so in the long run food from home is cheaper, and its already there, you WILL have to by food anyway.

[Rebel]

I personally am not counting the ROTC food as school food but they sell good stuff for cheaper then the school. I get the feeling they are trying to undermine them.

[Gunny]

The ROTC stuff is separate from school food.

I think that the MRE's I buy at the surplus store are better than the school food.

When I was working in the student store, we couldn't mark our prices any lower than the lunch lines to keep people going over there too. We also couldn't undersell the vending machines. Of course, the Student Store does have some school funding and regulation, while, as I understand it, the ROTC program does not. That's why they can sell decent food.

And yes, in the long run, depending on what you eat, food from home will be cheaper than buying school lunch; unless you get free lunch.

Also, the smaller meals with similar carb & fat levels is a government conspiracy to keep us fat and complacent while they yell about how the youth of America is overweight , while they pass laws that kill our freedom of choice, and control our diets to be what their "experts" believe we should eat, while the scared sheep that are the American voters agree and support their plans to "to make America's youth healthier", while actually infringing on our rights more and more with the inevitable add ons to the bill that get slipped in there by politicians that have very little to do with the actual theme of the bill.

and thats why i don't trust the goverment and why im an anarchist (true story)

[Gunny]

I wouldn't say that I am an Anarchist, just someone who would prefer that our government went through some extreme restructuring. Anarchy is too chaotic. At least government is somewhat predictable.
