Typically:
Chips that grind in my teeth.
Burgers that are so thin. I am concerned about how much meat is inside of it.
Beans that taste like grass. As for putting it in the microwave.
Drinks charged at expensive prices and even for bottled water.
Salad that doesn't tastes right.
Some examples to the attitudes I see commercially:
Hello, do you have any ginger cordials?
No but we have ginger beer.
Just need to look.
That'll be $1.50
But this is chemically flavoured. I wanted ginger!
It is a ginger beer that is equivalent without any ginger in it.
Why?
Because it is economical for us.
Economical for you to ban people from going home to eat.
Look if you are going argue with me I'll get you banned from coming in here.
It is a legal requirement for me to eat and drink you know.
How much beef are in these burgers?
Enough for you.
I need to know as I had four so far, they are thin and I still feel hungry.
I am not sure, it only states 200 grams for whole bag of 20 burgers.
10 grams, Is that all??? and I paid $3.00 for this?
Well even though it is in small amounts the certificate does say that these were specially selected as healthy eating meals for school children's diets.
Okay well what are the ingredients on the bag?
It doesn't say.
Well then in that case, where is your proof? Isn't it illegal for them not to state the ingredients on the packaging like any other food package?
LOOK! I've had it up here with you, your complaining and questioning, now either buy something and eat or get out.
I wasn't complaining, I am enquiring about facts here as I am the one that has to pay for it and eat it. I want to know exactly I am eating here.

I do not like food that is cheaply mass produced. The chemicals that are put inside the food to make it appear sweet can impact on behaviour and thinking. I can tell the difference after eating plenty of chemicalized modified foods that are so sweet. I even tried experiments to confirm that on chocolates.
The places I like is where they make their own foods from local produce.

Nutrition aside, I just don't want to eat cafeteria food because it isn't worth the money they charge. I could do so much more with 2 dollars than try and choke down a dry baked potato smoothered in nacho cheeze and yesterday's chile.

A lovelly all organic smoked ham sandwich with tomatoes on top and pickle in proper brown bread keeps me stable throughout the day.
Instead I got something that looks like an old ladies foot cut up in small pieces and a solid round thing that was ripped out of the mud or toilet poop.
Some were good at serving spaghetti bolognaise as well.
Always looked like diarrhea to me. I was wondering why they introduced so many sick bags in the canteen at one point.

The first couple of schools I went to actually had very good cafeteria food. Different schools get food from different companies, if I'm not mistaken. So I think that makes a difference: you have to look at what the source is. Who is sending the food to the schools? Are they a good distributor?
Then I went to a school... that had greasy food on an almost constant basis. The bread was greasy. The veggies that weren't fried were greasy somehow. And worst of all, they had a greasy little cake of meat that was labeled "Mystery Meat." Yes my friends, I was served numerous times, a meat that was called "Mystery Meat." And it wasn't good... I'm afraid if I would have stayed there, I would now be dead from clogged arteries and several different strokes and heart-attacks.
"mystery meat"... What a joke. That should be illegal.

Anyway at other places they use to sell these cheap coloured drinks that made me feel thirsty. I didn't know at the time.

I always use to feel ill until realising that it was the food. I ignored people who said that chocolate was bad for me, because they never said why.
Not all chocolate is bad after finding this:

I have one these in a go a week. The problem is that the schooles I saw go for the cheapest sweets for their vending machines and overcharge for it.
A foreign cake shop has opened up recently. The food is expensive but hand made with pure ingredients which has to be eaten within two days. They make mouses with a slice of jelly ontop which costs around $5 and eclairs that cost $4. They can make custom foods on ordering such as pizzas with goats cheese, birthday cakes, sausage rolls with melted cheese. I sometimes go there to treat myself. Now I am into cakes. Before when I brought cakes from the supermarket I felt sick which I think is their way of trying to fill someone up. The good thing as I am sitting high on their stools whilst eating is that they have a glass border from the kitchen so I can watch the chefs cook.

Now what do you think of this?
