Would you eat this school lunch?

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Portsmouth Public Schools admits they are concerned with the presentation of a student’s lunch that was served Tuesday at Jake Hurst Elementary.

Dozens of people reached out to 10 On Your Side after a student’s mother posted a picture of the meal on social media. It shows cooked corn on a lunch platter, alongside a fish filet with a bun placed on top.

According to the school district’s lunch menu, which is posted online, the lunch choices served Tuesday were the following:

  • Spicy Cajun Fish w/Brown Rice
  • Cold Cut Turkey Sub (w/g)
  • Assorted Chef Salad (Croutons & Crackers)
  • Steamed Carrots & Side Salad
  • Fresh Orange or Canned Fruit
  • 1% & Skim Milk

Needless to say, that wouldn't be found on the tables of the elite Sidney Friends School students.

I never ate a school lunch until college.

This is an insult to the time honored field of institutional cooking. If you served this in a prison there'd be a riot.

Give this to Chewie and her kids - see if they'll eat it!

10:52 Bread and Corn are not Paleo

Prisoners get fed better, poached fish, yum, every kid's favorite! It's all starch and people wonder why there are so many obese people and diabetic. Don't work, you eat better!

If the choice was Cajun fish w/ brown rice, why is there corn on the plate? Not that it still doesn't look like yesterday's leftovers left under the heat lamp too long.

Rice and corn are both starch, I thought our taxes paid for nutritionists in the school system? Just open the can and throw it on the plate. Children in third world countries eat better with our donations. Crap on a cracker.

This is why my kids pack their lunch. They both say the school lunch is disgusting, unless it is pizza.

Send this mess to Michelle Obama and tell her to eat it and feed it to her kids.

Liberals don't want their kids eating this crap - they want your kids eating it. For the good of mankind. Sorry, that wasn't inclusive - and womenkind too.

Tomorrow's lunch for my kids, packed by me, the dad, but made the night before by dad and kids:

-4 ounce chicken salad cup, with raisins, craisins and apple bits
-1 small soft taco wrap with lettuce leaves, shredded carrots, avocado slices and cranberry sauce (they thought that one up)
-fruit cup
-a piece of birthday cake (not usually a feature)
-1/2 pint milk from the cafeteria

That looks like one of those snakehead fishes that were becoming an invasive pest in local waters. A great way to get rid of them, then!
