A Kraft Heinz\n \n executive announced last month that the company is preparing to deliver its packaged ready-to-eat Lunchable kids meals directly to students by putting them in school cafeterias. Carlos Abrams-Rivera, an executive vice president with Kraft Heinz, said two new varieties of Lunchables , with “improved nutrition” that comply with the National School Lunch program requirements, will be served in K-12 schools nationwide, beginning this fall.
The agency’s job is to make sure any meal served at school is nutritious and falls in line with the US Dietary Guidelines. Schools are mandated to offer students five meal components – fruit, vegetable, protein, grain and milk - and students must take at least three as part of their lunch.
😂😂😂😂
Very healthy
👇👇👇
Deserving!
You mean to tell me they couldn't prepare a healthy pot of soup, or salads for the children? Give me a break. My dog's food is more nutritionally balanced.
I like to add extra mayo and Velveeta on mine
No thanks! I’d rather pack them a lunch myself.
It looks incredibly nutritious.
That’s just lazy!
Cool a new way to make kids fatter and unhealthy. These Corporations have no soul they don’t care about kids or their health
accessbank_help check your DM
myaccessbank check your DM
More processed foods. Thats the answer.......
When?
Your vegetable for today is ketchup.
As a taxpayer, you're welcome. I guess.
THOSE R MORE BETTERER THEN THA MCDONALD'S THAT ORANGE MAN LIKES. CUZ ORANGE MAN BAD END IZ MORE WORSTER THEN HITLER!
Vomit-inducing food from Krap Heinz
I hope so :/ health tm
But literally
Indirect corporate welfare.
They might get a better reaction if they called it “Charcuterie for Kids”.
This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang, But with a lunchable...
The media is a propaganda machine celebrating a corrupting crappy system.
Did Michael Obama come up with this?
Now with 10% less sodium
great. we already have uncrustables as an option every day, all my kid eats. 🙄
Why? Those things aren't very nutritional...
Garbage 🗑️
The disrespect shown to children in this country is astounding.
Great I like this 😊 tho I don’t have kids in school 🏫
processed food ...so sad and unhealthy
Lunchables are crap* food. 100% Processed
America is going from fat to huge obese....earlier...
Nothing like a highly processed, high calorie, salt ridden, prepackaged food product to keep the children healthy! 😕
Lunchables are literally a driver of childhood obesity. There's a long-form article on how the company knows it and doesn't care.
Processed food
You forgot the words 'WARNING' & 'toxic' in your description!!
🤮🤮🤮
They make it sound like a good thing. If it helps hungry kids I guess it is but at what long term health costs?
🤮🤮🤮
So now they’re giving our kids crackers, processed cheese, and farce meat manufactured by one of the largest multinational corporations on the planet for lunch instead of actually cooking normal food, and CNN is all for it? Sounds about right smh
Wrong on so many levels
Absolute garbage.
My niece and nephew often get rotted food and spoilt milk in their school lunch here on Long Island. Lunchables would be a big improvement
Who wants to eat cheese and crackers everyday smh
People eat THIS for lunch
Gross!
Make listeria great again.
Processed food is destroying children’s health
Well, at least those people, „feeding“ our planet with even more plastic waste & trash, are feeding their kids with shit too. 😵💫🤯🤮
The lunch will be “fortified “, it will be “whole grain”, possibly “organic “. It will claim to be actual food. Just like msm claims to be legit. Don’t settle for this! A child needs to grow properly and this takes actual food. Non processed, omega 3, no lunch meat, read up!
Processed food company wins again. Don't be surprised by obese kids
ZERO nutritional value
Idiocracy. This stuff isn’t really food at all. :(
Michelle Obama is like 'so Republicans didn't like my plan but THIS is ok?'
americas so fucked
Tons of packaging waste and zero nutritional value for kids, but those juicy profit margins for corporations win the day.
fakefood fakenews fakewimen fakeooz fakeshots fakeplots fakerain fakesnow wadda ya know?
That’s garbage food , processed .nobody should be eating that. Nothing fresh.
Typical school lunch in Korea:
We have failed as a country.
In the USA the corporations have the government in their pocket. Food prices are higher in the USA than the EU because that's what corporations want. As a result your children end up eating this junk because it's all you can afford after the corporations have robbed you.
The world's biggest economy and kids are being fed this kind of crap at school. Disgusting. The US should take an example in basically any European country.
Heinz is putting things in their products that the public should know about. Few would continue to eat it if they knew. I don’t.
They're so bad for you
I'm sure those bribes will have a great ROI.
If they’re not Uploadeds, keep them 😂
How is that an adequate lunch for a growing child?
Ya...because it's all about keeping the kids healthy. 🤡
Time to boycott all Kraft Heinz products and vote out whenever allowed this.
These are junk foods with zero nutritional value loaded with sodium, sugars and food coloring
It makes me sad to see processed foods being added. Local farm to table in schools needs to be the norm. Healthy kids equal healthy adults only strengthening our future leaders.
Keep lowering the bar & then acting shocked when kids all become fat rolls w/diabetes... Good job America 👍🐂💩💯
John Kerry's wife's company?
We've really come to this? God help us.
They give ‘em out in prison too
At least give them the good ones. Like the Pizza ones for example. Not the crappy ones that nobody buys
When I think of healthy lunch options for kids this is exactly what I think of. Wow
What kind of farmers' voices were being suppressed by the central government
One day schools may be sponsored by corporations. McDonald's Middle School has a ring to it.
Don’t lunchables cause cancer? I quit buying them years ago.
Lunchables are unhealthy with a high sodium content, processed meats, tons of chemicals and ready to eat in the first place. Why are they a school lunch option. The poor diet and lack of gun control will ensure life expectancy to be below 30 years in the next generation !!
Garbage food that shouldn't be given to children. There are LOTS of other countries that feed their children nutritious (and delicious) school lunches. Why can't the USA do the same?
So much packaging waste for unhealthy meals.
Over processed crap. Junk food.
Normalize eating healthy...
An environmentally friendly mix of plastics and low grade flour, as are the container trays.
There are absolutely nothing wrong with these. For those of you who are turning your nose up to them, you should be ashamed of yourselves. At least they're trying. I'm guessing that none of you sacrifice one meal or a Starbucks run every day to help feed a hungry child at lunch.
Because the cafeteria food was too healthy?
Somehow this is better than pizza? Michelle Obama is completely limp over this
CMOTamilnadu sir. Can Tamilnadu try this system of ready to eat nutritious food in mid day meal schemes? This will eliminate middle men
Kraft is not real food. Why is the US so bad at this?
In this picture, students do not eat the food. 🙄 😁
All unhealthy processed food
Horrible, canned, high sodium fake food. Not a vegetable in sight. Plus, the packaging disguises how little food is actually there. KraftHeinz is actively cheating taxpayers and harming children with this trash.
🗑 🍱
Horrible
these are treats, not meals
It is shit
This is sad. Very sad.
LOL In more positive news:
Monstrous. We were told that Carl's Jr would be the fast food of the future.
I will shamefully admit that I still eat Lunchables as an adult.
Let’s be honest folks this is better than a lotta school lunches.
🤣😂🥲
poor kids
Sugar and sodium
We are failing our children.
Diabetes starter kits. Good job America.
Lunchables are a snack, not nutritional, and whatever that meat and cheese is, it's not. My kid will only take the fake cheese and crackers. If this happens nationally, I'm homeschooling.
Oh that’s disgusting
Yay more undernourished kids
Thanks KraftHeinzCo for inviting every disease under the sun to infect our children. Your shitty product will weaken their immune systems and cause a laundry list of health issues. The government doesn’t care about our health.
Because our school officials care so much about our kids. Selling them out again.
Chemical crackers, processed meat, fake cheese: YAY !!! 🇺🇲 loves their children.
Absolute crap - certainly not a balanced meal.....And the packaging is anything but 'climate friendly or green'
I looooooooove lunchables! So much hate but has anyone looked at a school lunch lately? This can’t be worse…..
Perfect. American schools are just junior prisons anyway.
I really enjoy the taste of capitalism.
Is this satire?
Not so sure this is the best idea…
What a disgusting & fraudulent idea
Somebody in government got a hefty kickback to allow this crap to be fed to children. Disgusting.
anyone question if JohnKerry was was involved in deal making?
THAT IS NOT HEALTHY FOOD THAT IS CHEMICALS AND PROVIDES NO NUTRITION! Are you kidding me MichelleObama can you talk to someone?
Well, this is an awful plan.
Homeschool your kids
Junk food ...brown bag it!
More processed food more youth obesity
This is beyond sad. Setting these kids up for a lifetime of illnesses.
Our government really doesn't give two shits about our children.
Wow, just wow. Junk food for lunch, good thinking.
Disgusting
This is awful
This isn’t food for anyone, my doggies wouldn’t eat it.
Why happened to Michelle Obama’s Nutritious School Lunch Program?
The US is doomed.
Bring back cooked lunches.
but…but…but…gasp
Has anyone looked at the salt and sugar content and how they are processed foods? We have an epidemic of obesity and diabetes and they feed kids this crap?
This shit is trash.
I have never heard of these but it doesn't look edible, let alone healthy.
“Lunchables Turkey and Cheddar Cracker Stackers and Lunchables Extra Cheesy Pizza”. Just disgusting, poor children.
KraftHeinzCo Why do you continue to operate in the Russian Federation, which in turn helps fund the Russian War on Ukraine via tax revenue?
are kids in the US satisfied with this?
What the hell is wrong with the US? Feeding children crap like that as a meal should be a crime!
The inventor of the Lunchable said he wouldnt feed this crap to his own kids.
Man they are going to be very hungry
There is nothing wrong with these every once in a while, as a SNACK, for example when they have an outing or something, but why not give kids a fruit a day with a cup of milk, and later, or earlier, a separate meal (pizza & chopped veggies, or a sandwich and a salad, or pasta…)
School lunch privatization, wonder what's next
Ewwww. No!
Feeding the kids garbage
Gross
Give the kids fresh food, not this. The USA needs a JamieOliver…
Looks very unhealthy.
A middle schooler would eat 2 or 3 Lunchables in a sitting.
why give our children processed foods?
I thought we, including children, were supposed to eat less processed foods to improve our health. Silly me.
Because of John Kerry that's how Heinz got its food program into your lunchrooms so our government can make the government members even richer it's a big scam John Kerry John Hines Carrie. Anyone see how Washington DC really works they don't give a damn about your kids it's money
