People Are Responding To A Viral Photo Of A California School Lunch With Lunches In Their State, And They Range From "Yikes" To "Yum"
Recently, u/bestoblivion shared a California school lunch to Reddit that got people talking because, TBH, it looks delicious. Other people started sharing school lunches from their state, so here, in alphabetical order, are 18 states and what they serve.
1.California
"Zucchini, radish, avocado slices, grapefruit, apples in the bag, and a bean and cheese burrito from a local restaurant. The kids pick out the food they want (it’s buffet style). This kid likes radishes."
2.Colorado
3.Florida
According to the OP, the black spears are sweet potatoes.
4.Georgia
"Only thing fried is probably the chicken. The potatoes are roasted."

5.Illinois
"I teach in Illinois, and I can confirm that students’ lunches do look like this...usually with a fruit and vegetable option, though."
6.Kentucky
"[The meatballs] were good, though, believe it or not."
—u/eduff132
7.Maine
"This looks like a fish/chicken sandwich, a baked potato, and some grapes. I would consider that a healthy meal and appropriate lunch. The presentation definitely sucks, though."
8.Maryland
"You got salsa, cheese, beans, onions, and sour cream? WHERE'S YOUR CHIPS, BRO?"
9.New Jersey
"Turkey, gravy, stuffing, and mashed potatoes?"
10.New York
"At least y'all pizza's triangle. Ours was short of being a rectangle but too long to be called a square."
11.Ohio
"My friend who eats the school lunch says this is one of the better ones."
12.Oregon
"Is that orange chicken?!? You rock, Lunch Lady!"
13.Pennsylvania
"Oof. Somehow looks worse than I remember when I attended grade school in Pennsylvania. That was almost 30 years ago."

14.Tennessee
"The yellow thing on the right is honey mustard. The yellow bowl is broccoli and cheese soup."
15.Texas
"This is Alfredo, BTW." — u/karenkillskids
16.Vermont
"Farm-to-school initiatives and healthy living in general are pretty big here. Of course, a lot of the kids don't take advantage of the salad bar, but for the grownups it's pretty nice." — u/bibliophile222
17.Washington
"Popcorn chicken bowl! Ours had corn in it and everyone LOVED it." — u/chameleongirl25
18.West Virginia
"It’s a 'pizza.'" — u/TheActualSwanKing
