Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash?
OwOarchist@pawb.social 13 hours agoThis is in stark contrast to prison food level quality found in many districts.
Very literally prison food.
Public schools in the US often contract with companies to provide the school lunches, and the companies fulfilling those contracts are often exactly the same companies that provide food for prisoners in the prison system.

This is a false equivalence. The same company providing food for two different markets might be providing two different menus. Like a cake company which makes different cakes, and also some bread products, maybe some biscuits… you wouldn’t open a box of biscuits and find a cake inside. Except maybe Jaffa Cakes. What was I saying again?
Oh yeah, faulty logic, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were some mix-and-matching going on. Capitalism gotta capitalise.

Sometimes the school food is actually worse because our prisons are much better funded than our schools.

It’s literally the same food in some areas, 1 for 1, no false equivalences. Like I could go to jail and get served the same thing available in the school cafeteria.

It’s not all that different for restaurants, you could go to 10 different ones and get the same Sysco Tyson chicken patty.

There’s only a few suppliers for everyone, the main difference within a supplier is the different tiers of quality you can order.
