The GROSS Truth About American School Lunches

Why are American school lunches SO gross? From the 1940s to today, school cafeterias went from feeding hungry kids to serving ultra-processed, nutrition-light meals — often full of sugar, salt, and preservatives.

Watch until the end to see how the system became so broken — and how it could be fixed!
