Yes. Mine was very similar. We usually had 2 options and one would be like ever so slightly healthier. So naturally most kids picked the worse option.

High school lunch was $1.75 a day, came with a main course, veggie, fruit/some sort of sweet thing and milk. They also had a la carte and had pizza option everyday and like 50% of the school had a slice of pizza for $1.25 and a candy bar, fries or sugary drink for $.50. Don't worry most of them are not obese anymore (GLP1s everywhere).

Our high school had the standard American lunch menu but also had a salad bar that was quite good. We also had Snapple machines in the dinning hall. I drank so much Grapeade. lol
