The School Cafeteria Strikes Back ... With Cheese!

Just so you know, this is what I have most days of the week. That and a glass of milk. It's considered a perfectly normal lunch in the Netherlands :)

It's a lot healthier than burgers, fries, egg-rolls, sloppy joes, pizzas, and various cookies and candy bars combined with sugar loaded soda :) That's if they don't drive over to Micky D's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Domino's or some other fast food joint ;)

the school doesn't want to change their menu unless it's out of revenge. How dumb.

This made me laugh: "I know it's food they were throwing around, but some people are allergic to cheese," said senior James Blake. "I can see if they served peanut butter and jelly. But just cheese? It's ridiculous."

The policy has been on the books for a long time soI can understand why the school did it. Being punished for something is SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable. If you're going to be an idiot and participate in a coordinated food fight, you have to be willing to face the consequences.

And that list of normal menu options made me want to go eat a cheese sandwich. They're whining because they're not being allowed to eat utter crap for lunch. Ugh.

I knew someone who ate a whole wheel of cheese, and died of an intestinal blockage because of it. How many students will suffer the same fate?

Did every student participate in the food fight? Still a cheese sandwich doesn't seem like much of a punishment.

Why not just feed them broccoli, brussel sprouts, and turnips?

maybe american chease is not so edible or something, because that sounds like a normal lunch to me :)

I graduated from Atlantic City High School back in 2003. They never did anything this drastic while I was there.

They sold bottled drinks at the snack bar. People were flinging these said bottles filled and open in the hallways getting people wet, so they started pouring the drinks into big cups, that solved that problem. Thats about the worst thing I've seen them do.

K!P, you got it. American cheese is awful.

But this hardly seems like a punishment to me. I can see a good lawyer saying this doesn't fulfill the requirements for a "healthy" lunch though.

Crazy idea: pack your own lunch!

note: "American cheese". we all know those plastic wrapped square pieces of yucky...plastic...

A prison meal? I don't think so.
Prison meals are extravagant when you compare them to a cheese sandwich.
A typical meal consists of a meat, two veggies, a salad and a starch. Sometimes you get fruit and vegetable in place of the two veggies.
The way the meal turns out depends on who is preparing it.
If the parents do not like the actions - they are free to make brown bag lunches for their kids.
High five to the cafeteria staff of Atlantic High School.

It's because high school students are selfish and don't care about the poor janitors that have to clean it up. When I was in high school, I felt so bad for the janitors whenever the seniors would do their pranks and mess up the whole school. So you eat just a cheese sandwich for lunch for 2 days! Get over it! I wouldn't doubt it if half of them needed to lose weight anyway

Eh, forget those fancy cheese sandwiches and serve them "prison loaf" instead! It's basically all the leftovers blended together, mixed with cornmeal and baked into a bread-like loaf.
