Students disgruntled with their school lunch options have taken to social media to tweet pictures of their unappetizing-looking food under the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama.

Hunter Whitney, a student at Wisconsin’s Richmond Center High School, said this dish is called “Spanish rice” and that students aren’t supplied with salt.

The lunches, many Thanksgiving-themed, have to comply with the food regulations implemented by the USDA and championed by the first lady, who has taken on the challenge of fighting childhood obesity.

So disappointed in this modified Thanksgiving lunch.. @MichelleObama #ThanksMichelleObama

But high schoolers, like senior Jess Sency, have been using the power of the internet to show off exactly what those regulations look like.

Sency wrote that this dish is supposed to be baked beans.

At Austin High School in Minnesota, Maya Wuertz’s lunch was a small serving of apple sauce and a sad chicken burger.

It should be noted there may be healthier options or alternatives available that the students have chosen not to take.

This is my lunch. I'm in high school. #ThanksMichelleObama pic.twitter.com/02t4MScBIe

In July, Obama said she would “fight until the bitter end to make sure that every kid in this country continues to have the best nutrition that they can have.”

The USDA guidelines implemented over the last few years include limits on calories, fat, sugar, and sodium for all food and drinks sold during the school day for 100,000 schools across the country.

This isn’t the first time the hashtag has made the rounds — kids were also sharing questionable snapshots of their school meals back in April.

New school food rules set by Congress also require more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in school cafeterias.

But schools have struggled to get kids to eat the foods and as a result, some schools have had their funding cut.

Peggy Lawrence, director of nutrition at the Rockdale County Public Schools in Georgia, told the Huffington Post “If the kids don’t eat the food, then all I have is healthy trash cans.”
