"What are they feeding the kids in America?" K-netizens react to unhealthy looking American school lunches

AKP STAFF

A recent post by a Korean netizen has stirred a debate among K-netizens about the quality of school lunches in the United States. The post featured photos of school lunches served in a public high school in New Jersey, leaving many Korean netizens shocked and concerned about the nutritional value and overall quality of the meals.

The photos shared by the Korean netizen showcased meals that appeared to be lacking in fresh vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Instead, the lunches seemed to consist mainly of processed foods, such as nachos, chips, fries, hamburgers, and hotdogs, which appeared unappetizing.

Korean netizens commented, "Why are Americans eating as if they have free health care," "The food looks like it was made in the morning and neglected until evening," "Is that even filling?" "How do they expect kids to grow tall by feeding them that?" "Wow, the food looks trashy, and also that styrofoam plate bothers me too," "There's so few vegetables," "That looks like snacks, not lunch," "What are they feeding the kids in America?" "Is that why so many are overweight?" "They need to feed their students some vegetables," "Korean students are fed really well," "I think I would be hungry after 1 hour of eating that," "Even cheap hotel food looks better than that," and "I think it's hilarious how they consider those fries as vegetables."

Meanwhile, South Korean school lunches have been garnering attention on various social media platforms and online communities for its balanced and hearty meals provided to students.

Below are the lunches provided by Korean schools:

Yep it’s still the same as I remember it. Grade F meat and low quality food. I think they feed our prisoners better than our school kids. This is America in a nutshell so much money but we still can’t feed our own people.
