Chapter 914 – Meals
Meals.
Everyone has memories of their school days.
In a bad way.
“Well…”
“What?”
“I don’t remember hating meal times. I also remember looking forward to it depending on the menu.”
There are people who don’t.
Rachel.
She tilts her head as if wondering.
It is worth it.
American school meals are famous for being of low quality.
─Level of common food in Cheonjoguk ㄷㄷ

It’s so bad
You can enjoy a meal that is almost like Harry Potter
Of course, this is a story about a private school that pays 100 million won in tuition…
Gong is like the picture below
You have to eat things like fast food or snacks
└(Unimaginable traffic con)
└The cafeteria also feels like Hogwarts ㅓㅜㅑ
└SARS is a country of capitalism
└The poor get poorer and the rich get richer
It is America.
There is nothing you can’t do as long as you have money.
Private schools cannot be compared to Korea.
Buzz, buzz!
But public.
The same goes for slightly cheaper private schools.
The school that most people attend.
“Keueeek!”
“Kkiek!”
“Queeeee!!”
It is optimized for children’s tastes.
Running around wildly like spring in season.
Percussion!
The same goes for the food you eat.
The menu that children receive for school meals is.
“This is a school lunch?”
“Okay.”
“Isn’t it a snack?”
Rachel doesn’t know anymore.
As befits a son of a family born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
『French Fries』
『Ketchup』
『Hot Dog』
This is the meal eaten by typical American students.
It is convenient to think of it as poor quality fast food.
“It’s just fast food, right?”
“Okay.”
“There are no vegetables, and it makes no sense nutritionally…”
Is this a school lunch?
In the United States, it is extremely common and follows a level of common sense.
─The reason why American school meals are full of tripe
1. Reagan administration’s budget cuts
2. Reduction in meal expenses
3. I can’t maintain nutritional balance because I don’t have money
4. The government recognizes processed products as vegetables
5. Food company lobbying added
6. French fries and tomato ketchup are also recognized as vegetables ㄷㄷ
7. Fast food companies dominate the foodservice industry with low-price bidding
They say that tastes have become established now, and you can’t change them even if you try.
Because the kids don’t eat anything but fast food
└If it had been in Korea, it would have been an uproar
└(Oh, the world is so ugly, Con)
└There are no more assholes than playing with children’s food ㄹㅇ
└They say corporate lobbies are bastards
Meets legal standards.
You only need to give at least 3 of the following: milk, fruit, vegetables, protein, and grains.
“Since French fries and sauces are recognized as vegetables, it’s just fast food.”
“This is a ridiculous situation.”
It has been changed to suit the tastes of the fast food industry.
American school meals are a rotation of hamburgers, pizza, sandwiches, and tacos.
‘It would be nice if it came out properly.’
The taste is also terrible.
Dry and twisted French fries.
Instant hot dog.
Roughly salted ketchup.
Shuuk~! Puck!
Puck! Puck! Paang!
Because it is so old-fashioned, an unusual phenomenon is observed.
It is a ‘food fight’ that often appears in American comics.
“Kill me! Kill me, you bastard!”
“Kill you, you bastards!”
“I used the palace on Izu first.”
It’s not just a comical directing.
Students are really fighting and throwing food.
‘It reminds me a little of raw milk from my school days.’
Dairy industry lobby.
Students born in the 90s had to drink milk every day at school.
There are many children who cannot digest food.
The quality wasn’t good either.
Because I don’t want to eat.
“My master once ruled the school, and I miss him.”
“I don’t think it’s something to brag about.”
You don’t know how precious food is!
If you were born in the 90s, this is a story you’ve heard so hard.
‘Then you should give them precious food in the first place.’
In a way, I can sympathize.
If school meals are not tasty, it can have a negative impact emotionally.
American school lunch.
We are here to improve.
I went on a field trip with Rachel.
“We have discussed it with the school. You are free to use the facilities to your heart’s content.”
The employees are also here.
Why?
This is because you need to understand the local situation.
‘American school lunches are not tasty.’
It would be unfair to say that it is only the suppliers’ fault.
The Reagan administration also happened 40 years ago.
In other words, it is fixed.
There is another fundamental reason why American school meals do not change.
『Large Microwave』
『Large Oven』
『Large steamer』
Galley.
It’s different from the typical scenery.
It feels 180 degrees different from Korea.
“There are very few things that can really be called cooking utensils.”
“The number of cooks is ridiculously small compared to the number of people in the school…”
It is full of the mineral iron color.
I remember it as a space where hot steam came out.
‘America is different.’
Only really basic tools are provided.
Even the common gas range is not provided.
The reason is simple.
The person who will write it.
This is because there are no nutrition teachers, nutritionists, cooks, etc.
“?!”
“Hiring people is all about money.”
Reagan era.
It is not only the quality of meals that has been reduced due to budget cuts.
All employees were fired.
Since there are no people, there is no need for cooking facilities.
‘So you heat already semi-cooked food.’
Only basic tools remain.
A vicious cycle created a vicious cycle.
“You can’t change this environment, so you have to plan a diet tailored to this environment.”
This is the real reason why American school meals are not improving.
I can’t do normal cooking.
There are many other things to pay attention to.
Because America is a country of diversity.
“This is so… Of course, I’ll do my best, but it doesn’t look easy.”
“It looks like more than one menu will be restricted.”
“I’m having trouble just adjusting it to my taste.”
Only fast food remains in the background.
Even though the nutrition is the same, the rest is great.
Easy to make.
There is no difference in likes or dislikes.
The current situation has become entrenched.
‘I need to change it.’
In Korean style.
It will be a historic event that will change the country of the United States.
“Can you do it? It doesn’t seem easy just from hearing it.”
“I have to do something. Just like always.”
“Hmph! Don’t just smear my face.”
It wasn’t that easy.
Entry itself is not tolerated.
Connection.
It was accomplished with Rachel’s bag.
All that’s left is to make it successful.
* * *
Change.
They are not happy.
It is natural to show resistance first.
“I heard the catering company has changed?”
“I guess that’s it.”
“No! He’s a famous person named Lee Chan-wook…”
There is chaos at a high school in New York.
This is because it was selected as a model school.
The company changes.
Different food comes out.
It’s not just that kind of story.
“He was very apprehensive about school meals. I guess he has the confidence to prepare a healthy and nutritious meal.”
It has changed from the very beginning.
Diet.
All students know is fast food.
It must change.
You must eat healthy food.
At first glance, it seems like a good story.
“Wow!”
“Just eat it.”
“I see another PC sound made by a PC kid.”
Something similar happened.
During the Obama administration.
The first lady actively implemented it.
Daily News− 「Michelle Obama’s healthy meal plan became a ‘cold meal’… Students are ‘bubbling’ 」
As a result.
The school meals have changed to become tasteless.
Students cannot help but be dissatisfied.
“I have to post a photo on SNS again. What should I say this time…, Nina, eat it, Lee Chan-wook?”
The entire United States was in an uproar.
There were a ton of posts on social media sarcastic about the first lady.
The same incident will happen again.
The new school meal I accepted with a deep sigh.
Percussion!
It was shocking.
Oriental food.
No, it’s not because of anything like that.
“The color is black?”
“There is also white.”
“Oh my god, it’s not yellow!”
American school lunch.
Hamburgers, French fries, and chicken all have one thing in common.
It is yellow.
If you fry it or put a lot of cheese on it, that color will come out.
『Kimbab』
『Dumplings』
『Gomtang』
I can’t find yellow.
That alone succeeds in attracting interest.
But what matters in the end is the taste.
If it doesn’t taste good, I never want to eat it.
“These are foods I’ve never seen before…”
“I’ve had these before. They’re dumplings.”
“Hmm, then shall we try that first?”
Students.
I am accustomed to fast food.
It has a greasy and pungent taste.
Well!
The threshold has become too high.
My sense of taste doesn’t work for most foods.
‘Huh?’
Delicious.
Or it’s not tasty.
It cannot be expressed with such simple sentiments.
This is my first time feeling it.
At least I’m sure it’s not a bad feeling.
“The food is warm.”
“It’s okay.”
“I don’t think it’s any better than a hamburger.”
A pleasant sense of uplift.
It comes out every time you chew the dumpling.
Soft and juicy dumpling filling.
Munch!
While I was away, I also tried eating kimbap.
I thought it was a lump of rice, but the grains were chewy.
Contains ham.
Pickled vegetables add accent.
I devoured it before I knew it without being bored.
“I don’t think it tastes that good… But strangely, it keeps going.”
The eating process is also simple.
Just eat it like you normally eat fast food.
Accessibility.
It is successful in putting it in the mouth.
But whether you keep eating it is a different story.
The boring taste doesn’t appeal.
I have to go back to the spicy fast food I normally eat.
Slurp!
Slurp!
Strange sounds are heard here and there.
When you look around, you can’t help but be surprised.
Friends are drinking with bowls in hand.
A bowl filled with soup.
Slurp!
The reason.
As soon as I took a bite with a spoon, I realized it.
You drink the whole bowl without realizing it.
“Wow! That’s awesome!”
I get to know the taste of soup.
