DERBY, Kan. – Derby High School senior Linnea Engstrom posted a picture of the rotten apple she received for lunch to Twitter this week, prompting several students to follow suit.

Some students posted images of moldy grapes and applesause packs, while another snapped a picture of the “better if used by” date for appears to be a Mexican-style pizza: November 17, 2015, KAKE reports.

“It’s ridiculous when you get an apple that has a black hole in it and it’s covered in white crusties,” Engstrom said.

“We almost tweet it as a joke because it happens often and we’re not even surprised or shocked by it anymore,” she said.

Engstrom is among hundreds of students who have posted their disgusting government lunches online, many of which are accompanied by the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama in reference to the first lady’s involvement in the National School Lunch Program.

Federal limitations on calories, fat, sugar, sodium, whole grains and other aspects of school food championed by Michelle Obama are driving students away from the lunch line in droves – more than 1.4 million students have dropped out of the program since the rules went into effect in 2012.

Across the country, school districts have struggled to comply with the federal regulations, while hundreds have given up federal subsides that come with the program to shed the restrictions and serve students foods they’ll actually buy and eat.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution highlighted several of the complaints from students at Derby High School posted online, including a picture of a grape cup with a blue-white mold from Carly S. with the message “@DerbySchoolsKS why are you serving moldy grapes.”

“@KAKENews … derby high school. Please fix our food,” Sydney wrote. “I have to skip lunch half the time because its so bad.”

Engstrom told KAKE several students have repeatedly complained about the spoiled school food to district administrators, but nothing changes.

“Complaining about school lunches isn’t anything new, people complain about school lunches all the time,” she said. “No one pays any attention to it because it’s the same thing again and again.”

Posting images of the nauseating lunch offerings seems to be the only way students have managed to draw attention to the problem.

“I know that changes can’t be made automatically but hopefully it starts to bring about changes in the school,” she said.

KAKE attempted to contact the district superintendent, Craig Wilford, but he was “unavailable.”

The Journal Constitution also noted “there was no immediate response from school officials.”

“I’m a Derby High School parent and I’m sickened by this,” Tearin Taryn posted to Facebook. “I hope you guys can help get something done for our kids. I am in shock I pay money for my kids to eat mold and (wonder) why they’ve been sick lately.”

“This is ridiculous! First of all, if someone at the school thought I was serving my kid food like that at home, I would have SRS at my door. Also, school lunches aren’t cheap. For the money being generated by lunches alone the district should be able to order quality food,” parent Danielle McIntyre added.

“Thirdly, who the heck works in the lunch area that is presenting this food to the kids?! You can’t tell me they don’t notice this. Disappointed Derby parent! Surely we can do better than this!!”

“Restaurants get shot down for serving bad food, why not a student cafeteria?” Scott Taylor wrote. “It’s all the same, kids are going to purchase food prepared and served by a kitchen. Same standards should apply!”
