According to the New York Post (New York Post) reported on the 19th, Chris Vangellow, a father of four in New York State, received attention for posting his son's school lunch on Facebook.
His children attended the Parrishville-Hopkinton Central School District, where the free lunch was given only a few carrots, four small pieces of black-brown fried chicken nuggets, a lump of rice, a box of milk and a few snacks.
A prison source quipped that three meals a day in prison, lunch consisting of rice, juice, vegetables and whole wheat bread, and dinner with roast chicken and beef patties, "prisoners eat better than this."

"If there's a game today, no one can get enough energy out of this pile of food."
According to the New York Post and Fox News, Chris Vangellow, a father of four in New York State, recently shelled his son's school lunch on Facebook and attracted attention.
All of Chris's children attend the Parrishville-Hopkinton Central School District, and his 16-year-old son has recently been sending him photos of lunches offered by the school.
On the 12th, he uploaded a photo taken by his son to Facebook and captioned:
"I think parishville school lunches may be a little less even for a kid who isn't very tall."

He believes that if there is a sports game on the day, no child can draw enough energy from a lunch like this. He also revealed that since school lunches were free, portion sizes have been reduced.
"Don't tell me, 'You get what you pay for,' or 'just eat,' we can do it, and sometimes kids do bring food from home to school, or buy more." But the problem is that not all families can afford it, we are not in a very wealthy area. Some children cannot bring food from home and can only count on the school meal. ”
In the picture he uploaded, there were only four small chicken nuggets, a few dried carrots, a small amount of rice and a carton of chocolate milk on the large dinner plate.
His other child didn't even eat the carrots because he was gone by the time he arrived.
Below are other lunch photos provided by the father to The New York Post.
The New York Post relayed the story of a source from rikers Island prison who complained that even inmates ate better than that.
The source said three meals are served in the prison, typical of which can be cold cut meat, rice, juice, steamed vegetables and whole wheat bread, while dinner includes roast chicken, Jamaican beef patties, fish, goulash, mashed potatoes, juice and more whole wheat bread.
According to the Daily Mail (Daily Mail) on the 19th, William Collins, head of the Parrishville-Hopkinton Central School District, responded to the matter by saying that the photos were misleading, they showed incomplete portions, and did not contain all the foods that students could choose. However, he also acknowledged that there are many students and parents who are dissatisfied with the school lunch.
He also argued: "To be fair, students can eat one more serving of fruit or vegetables and one chicken nugget than in the photo." ”
He said they have formed a working group to address these issues and "will explore how to make school meals tastier while still meeting the STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF THE USDA's national school lunch program." ”
