Our school lunches where I work are a lot better then this but were also a petty good district in the state with decent funding.

I went to school in a "better" western country and we didn't even get free lunches or have a cafeteria
Most kids ate lunchables if they could afford it (crackers with cheese and some small meat disk, basically three savory Oreos) which recently suffered a massive lawsuit for containing massive amounts of lead
CW: deli meat, dairy
Otherwise some schools basically served french fries, which were too expensive
Someone can tell the Chinese XHS users that many schools are so much worse. At my school, the hungry kids went hungry while the "rich" kids got McDonalds delivered by their parents.
If your parents couldn't pack a lunch for you they could pay a significant amount of money and you'd get cheese and crackers during recess but no lunch.
Lunchables were 242 calories and were like $3 each. I remember being exhausted and hungry all the time.
