Our school lunches where I work are a lot better then this but were also a petty good district in the state with decent funding.

So you’re saying it’s a matter of presentation?
School green-beans literally made me despise (like have an actual gag reflex towards) green beans until my mid-twenties when my parents got into gardening and I was presented with fresh, roasted green-beans. It’s more than just presentation, the vegetables they make taste astoundingly bad.
And the applesauce they serve is usually some sugar or high-fructose corn syrup infused fruit mush.
School/canned green beans are just salt flavored slightly gelatinous paste. Actively disgusting and nothing compared to the snap of fresh green beans.
It’s a matter of how it looks, smells, and tastes. There’s more to food than its technical nutritional requirements. Otherwise we’d just have Soylent.
