Come on US, step it up!
If you're one of the many Americans who was subjected to subpar, unhealthy school lunches throughout your childhood, these images will prove to you that we have been doing it all wrong.
School-aged kids should be getting the healthiest options possible. Those are the most formative years for the human body. The wrong diet can lead to many health problems later in life, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
