    For those still in High School or anyone who remembers, how is your school lunch? Ours is atrocious, most kids bring their lunch. The only decent part is the pizza and it's because it has stuffed crust (mmm, stuffed crust). I know it's not the school's fault in entirety, but they complain that the lunch is not bringing in enough revenue to the school. That's because most of the kids don't enjoy it.
     
    I freaking loved cafeteria food. I brought my lunch, and since I was lazy it was usually like a slice a bread and a piece of dead animal(s). But whenever I got to buy, I went all out. I honestly would take it over the dining hall food they got here.
     
    First two years of high school: DOMINOES PIZZA AND FRIES ALL DAY ERRYDAY. Oh and we have salad and taco bars as well, but legit everyone went for the pizza and fries.

    Last two years of high school: It was decent except for Sloppy Joe Fridays. I go for the A La Carte every Friday because I AVOID Sloppy Joe Fridays.
     
    I usually brought my lunch in high school (and still do), but sometimes I forget and a teacher gave me money or a lunch pass or I have money of my own and decided to buy lunch instead. The lunch at my school was decent. The burgers were rubbery , the fries were too soft most of the time and sometimes cold. The hot dogs weren't bad. There were two things that made school better and that was the pizza and buffalo chicken strips. They were dipped and sauce and only costed 75 cents each so you can get a bunch of them at a cheap price and get more than what you got for a burger and fries. Cafeteria pizza always seems good and so whenever they had it and I was buying lunch, I'd try to get it if I could.

    I haven't really gotten the chance to try the diner food at college except the burgers and hot dogs which are okay at best. When I have more money though, I'm definitely buying lunch at school one day.
     
    I was technically supposed to pay $1.50 everyday for lunch, but would always steal it. :3 The lunch itself was actually rather good, must admit. Rice, beans, pizza, burgers, they had a lot of good stuff. Or perhaps I'm just easy to please, haha.
     
    They were greasy and disgusting. The only thing I bought was a fruit salad and some chilled water. I went home for lunch sometimes.

    Well that explains the American obesity epidemic. Most Australian schools don't have sit down cafeteria's and students are expected to bring their own lunch. I always brought my own lunch because the small canteen we do have had long lines and 'meh' food. You could get pre-warmed stuff like a burger, bag of chips, lollies, maybe a paddle pop (ice cream). Apparently it has improved a bit with sandwhiches, yoghurts etc and more variation but I've still not gone there.

    I hear you, I normally get off the bus early run to the shops and prey I don't get caught buy 2 litres of coke for 1 dollar and that's my lunch, I live off it that and orange juice. I normally have a packed lunch that I sell off to other kids so I can buy like an up and go or something a but more yummier, I'm actually underweight for someone who eats a lot of junk.
     
    When I was in high school, lunchtime was at the last period for me, so I would usually just skip it and head straight home. One time, though, I did have breakfast there as I was too early, and it wasn't so bad. There were milk, cereal, cheese-strings, fruits, and plenty of other stuff. :P
     
    bring my own lunch to school which usually consists of a sandwich (Vegemite, salami and cheese, ham and pickle etc.) some fruit, (usually strawberries, grapes or a nectarine) along with a muesli bar and a bottle of water.

    Sometimes I buy things from the canteen, they sell quite a variety: chicken and lamb kebabs, hot chips, potato cakes, fried dim sims, fruit salad, salad rolls with a choice of ham, salami or chicken, apples, caramel slices, chicken nugget rolls, chicken wraps and much more.

    Al a carte at a school? Well, that's unusual.
     
    School lunch for me was attrocious, even the pizza. What's bad enough was that my mother was making me buy school lunch because she was afraid that bringing my own lunch was going to be warm by the time I ate it.

    Sporadically though, I brought my own lunch to school from home when I was in high school, and it didn't taste warm at all, but it was also borderline cold and borderline warm by the time I ate it.
     
    Our lunches were bad. BAD. I always hated buying my lunch but I did because I didn't feel like carrying a lunch box or anything to school with me as I already had enough stuff to carry. I guess the fries were decent on occasion but other than that, there was nothing to look forward to each day.
     
    I never really ate school lunch, I never ate while in school. What I did was buy it for the reduced 65c price, drink the water and sell the empty bottle to one of the many kids with a chewing tobacco habit for a dollar or two, and then sell the rest of the food (easier on some days than others, pizza was an easy one) for a couple bucks as well. Profit.
     
    I don't even know about my school. I only eat two things. Pizza and chicken sandwiches. We have two lines in the cafeteria, one serves whatever they have, and the other always serves either pizza or chicken sandwiches. I don't want to know what my school lunch is truly like.
     
    I always had a packed luncheon at school. Probably not a good thing to grow up with, in the end, since sandwiches are most of what passes with me as 'real' food.
     
    The lunch I have now at high school looks like mutant sandwiches cheese is plastic, fruits and veggies r expired n rottened I barfed (sorry 4 ruining ur apatite) on several occasions I got my food gave to lunch lady she says :what do u want
