Consumer Reports called on the Department of Agriculture today to remove Lunchables food kits from the National School Lunch Program. CR recently compared the nutritional profiles of two Lunchable kits served in schools and found they have even higher levels of sodium than the kits consumers can buy in the store. CR also tested 12 store-bought versions of Lunchables and similar kits and found several contained relatively high levels of lead and cadmium. All but one also tested positive for phthalates, chemicals found in plastic that have been linked to reproductive problems, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Man, what the fuck happened to LUNCH LADIES. Let them goddamn cook!
Sloppy Joe?
I made them extra schloppy for ya!
I mean my kids school still has them.
I used to love lunchables, but now that I’m an adult, I can’t believe we were allowed to eat that trash.
No reason to be feeding that crap to our kids nationally.
But some rich, white people need to get richer!
Fuck these Java 5 interface name having practically inedible crappy cracker packs.
To be clear, this is a subset of the lunchables brand specifically manufactured and sent to schools for lunches, which has a higher sodium content than the retail variety you can buy. They don’t want to ban all lunchables
Ban them all, they slipped in poisons into future of USA citizens. Should be a class action lawsuit
So, it’s either the school-variant with high sodium, or the store variant with lead, cadmium, and phtalates, then?
Considering the child obesity problem in America, maybe they should ban all Lunchables.
I know its done to death but I really do blame Michelle Obama for how shitty school lunches have gotten. I dont know how the administration at the time got away with the enshittification of school lunches under the guise of nutrition. Some places were literally passing napkins off as vegetables because they are made of plant fibers.
