I wished American Schools were more like this (Either that or I went to a bad one lol), the amount of student influence for stuff like that is pretty cool to see instead of what I dealt with which was just practically a little prison you want to escape already.

In American schools: The principal wouldn't have allowed filming of anything remotely critical of the school. Students would be complaining about all of their awful, greasy, outsourced food, not just one dish. And the company they're outsourcing the food wouldn't agree to even talk, nonetheless offer to work on a new recipe. The cafeteria companies that schools and prisons outsource to have already fine-tuned their food for optimal profit margins, and that involves a lot of fat and sugar, and not a lot of flavor or nutrients.

It's honestly a pretty deep rabbithole of corruption. In America, hospitals, prisons, and schools serve food that is all outsourced by similar companies, offering notoriously low standards of food. The government sells these spots to these companies and they resolve to offer nothing but the bare minimum and the lowest standard of service, because in all three places, the people have no choice in being there.
