This TikTok ban is turning out so much better than I had expected.
Nobody who is not American has never had anything good to say about American food though.

To be fair, the quality will definitely vary from school to school and location to location.
None of the schools I went to had bad food or food anywhere near as depressing looking. In fact, the only thing I could complain about is when they changed the goddamn granola breakfast rectangle bar things I really liked in elementary school to something else. That, or how greasy the pizza was in middle/high school.
I grew up with them and am repulsed by them. Japan definitely does it better (as I’m sure many countries do, but I only have experience with the two).
Most all countries, as a whole, do much better in all parts of the educational system. The fun part is, if these chucklefucks get their way and seriously reduce or eliminate the department of education things are going to seriously roll right back to serfdom.
Iirc, one of the complaints against Michelle Obama’s proposals was that (paraphrased) “kids won’t eat locally-produced things because they don’t like them” and I kinda just died inside.
In my case, I was in school in the '80s and '90s in the rural Midwest and our food was not great and made at a pretty low budget
