In retrospect, I was lucky to have some fairly decent school food as a child. Unlike the poor kids in Harrisonburg, VA, who must deal with extremely questionable color, texture, nutritional value…and spelling…as they strive to become America’s bright future.
Let the image sink in:
Chicken “Fryz,” regular fries, a lard-filed biscuit, and chocolate milk. A complete and balanced meal…if “balanced” means all your favorite saturated fats on one tray.
Don’t get me wrong. I adore fried food (I think I’d willingly bear the gastrointestinal disturbance to try the Cheeseburger Macaroni).
But I could never hope to pack an artery like the school lunches sited on Holy Taco and live to tell about it (I love the food descriptions, too).

I was just gonna say, before I read the second-to-last paragraph, since when did you become Lil’ Ms. Health Food? ; -)
After just taking my little trip to the South and dining in what is considered “gourmet cuisine” at Paula Deen’s restaurant, I can safely say that Harrisonburg is serving a well-balanced Southern diet. If you ever dreamed of fried lobster, boiled turkey in oil, everything batter-dipped and cooked in mounds of butter, then you will love The Lady & Sons restaurant. If you go, make sure your cardiologist accompanies you.
Actually, I was just reminded of this wild food product that my friend was showing me online the other day. Check out the mac-and-cheese push pop in image #14:
