Georgia School Board Hires Collection Agency to Collect on Unpaid Lunches

$1.50 is a pretty cheap lunch...is that what school lunches cost, or is that the reduced rate? If reduced, these parents have already shown that they don't have much in the way of funds.

1.50 was what it was at my high school. Not reduced.

Cheap stuff. And I still love it. As creepy as it sounds, I wish I had high school friends who could bring me those 1.50 lunches.

I loved the cheesy spaghetti and side buns. That was always my favorite lunch. I used to sop the cheesy sauce with the bun. YUM.

I also loved the pickles, honeybuns and sugary purple punch that we could buy from the "snack store."

Mine was the "Chicken Ring Things" which was chicken rings (god knows what kind of chickens come in rings?), mashed potatoes, and a roll with milk.

RE: Whoever was talking about school food reform. A recent study (I can find it if you care to know) found that McDonalds food quality was far more stringent then the common public school provided lunch. Don't trust the government.

I used to work for McDonald's PR agency. They have extremely high standards. They also have their own regional meat suppliers so they can closely monitor the operations. I trust McDonald's way more than I do most other fast food restaurants, and even more than some dine-in restaurants. They are a very well-operated company. They are also a well-respected employer.
