Around the world you say?
All I saw was a whole bunch different ones for USA, France, China, Japan, Korea and 1 each for Malawi, India and Sweden.

In the first French plate, the meat is ground beef, as in a hamburger; the cake is a chocolate cake; the "omelet" is more probably ham and cheese in puff pastry; the blue thing on the right is rather a yoghurt; there's also a portion of camembert near the yoghurt; they are probably drinking tap water, from the steal pitcher on the left.
In the second French cake: not scallops, rather mussels (probably hinting to a place from the North, near Belgium, or Britain); not a cheesecake, rather a lemon pie; and a yoghurt.
if u dont know what the shit is...don't assume it's something...fuckin retard.
very cool.

all that american food makes me sick.
I thought this was supposed to be School meals from around the world? why don't they just re-name it "School meals from Asia and the US?"
Well, this explains why America has the fattest kids in the world.
next time hold out with posting until you really have a number of different countries' school meals worthy of such a post-title
It would be interesting to know where in the US the lunches come from.
brings back some memories of Korea. That last Korean lunch has a yogurt drink, it's not milk.

June 3, 2009 11:56 PMThe best part is the Gabriel Method (super-obese guy loses weight) banner ad at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, for some reason I find this oddly soothing...
what about south america ?

Disposable styrofoam plates in the U.S.? yay for the environment if that is the case... :(

June 4, 2009 6:35 AMlol -> around the world = asia + america + france?
duh!
the broccoli-esque stuff on the oriental plates is most likely spinach.
Also noticed the scallop error. Mussels FTW!
That plate of Indian food looks like the stuff the truck drivers eat at the cheap local drink joints around here. Surely not what you'd eat at school.
full of lies!!!!! such an inaccurate portrayal of food... USA never had that good of food except the tots and cardboard pizza and even then it was only the pizza and milk corn never a pretzel, i wish their were pretzels.....

June 5, 2009 12:08 PMwhere tha white women at?
notice how the other countries dont have much protein. good ole american subsities
I aree korea wins, love the kimchi, it also had the healthiest mix and good size proportions of food.
anonymous, you suck...wait a minute
The USA meal with hash browns - those aren't called hash browns. Anytime fried potatoes are formed into a triangular shape everyone knows it becomes a 'tri-tater'
yummy..... dry seaweed!
"all that asian food makes me sick"
rofl. lose.
Obviously the person who posted this is def from USA. "USA. A healthy lunch". "Korea: Kimchi, a fish, some seaweed looking thing, and some colorful mystery items."
USA: Some soft sort of cream, might be mustard, and some soft, golden brown object, might be known as bread, or a bap, with some golden yellow sticks thingies, possibly knwon as chips or fries.
MMKAY.
LOL I liked this site and liked the comments. I'd like to see more from more places round the world. Kinda cool to see the sweden lunch but it was nuthin like we got served in sweden in the 70s, horsemeat and rosehip tea juice stuff. Never seen that stuff since but i know i liked it way back then.
Can you imagine the terror US kids would express as they ran from their lunch having fish with the head on served to them at school?
you are such a jackass, dude... have some respect for other cultures, don't call their food "something" or "mystery", you are clearly biased
