Where Does School Lunch Come From?

It’s a classic American scene: The lunch lady plops a mysterious jiggling blob onto your tray. The mystery meat seeps juice, slimily mingling with peas and coating the bottom of your milk carton. Just as you have time to gaze down in despair, she cries out: NEXT! Luckily this scene is mostly fiction, but the basic menu of meat, bread, vegetables, and dairy [...]
