"School lunch in the United States" - In which Redditors at a balanced meal with reasonable portions

American children are taught both explicitly (eat your salad and greens ) and implicitly through school lunch and bad cooking at home that healthy = disgusting food and unhealthy = tasty food. Everywhere else has figured out that you can have both at the same time without much effort. Eating well isn't hard, you just need to not eat like an American. Toss vegetables with spices and oil and put them in the oven. Stir fry them with any asian sauce of choice and maybe with some meat like pork belly. Steam them with garlic and salt in a pan. Throw some into a stew in an instant pot. Or actually figure out how to make a real salad instead of the disgusting nonsense that passes for one in America. Even boiling vegetables is great if you boil the right ones. You don't need to follow some restrictive hipster diet for 2 months then give up on it because it's too hard and find another one to repeat the cycle. Why are Americans like this?
