An average school meal, on the hand, forces kids to choose either the vegetables or the fruit and gives them about half as much meat. Whether you’re eating in a prison or a school, the calorie count will be about the same. But the nutritional value is wildly different. Prisons will make sure you’re getting your four food groups, while schools tend to just pad all those calories with starches and carbohydrates.If you really want a healthy meal, though, we’d recommend getting fast food. Under FDA rulings, places like McDonald’s are held to far more stringent standards of quality than the food we give children.
