Welp, now I want to order Georgia's school lunch from DoorDash.

Recently, u/bestoblivion shared a California school lunch to Reddit that got people talking because, TBH, it looks delicious. Other people started sharing school lunches from their state, so here, in alphabetical order, are 18 states and what they serve.

"Zucchini, radish, avocado slices, grapefruit, apples in the bag, and a bean and cheese burrito from a local restaurant. The kids pick out the food they want (it’s buffet style). This kid likes radishes."
