I challenge you to find actual pictures of lunches from around the globe, not the posters based on creator's fantasies.
In my USSR childhood school lunches varied from day to day. However all these varieties can be nicely summed up by this
Generally it was: 0. Black bread + butter 1. Soup - borsch, shchi, fish, macaroni. 2. potatoes - mashed or pieces, or some macaroni, or kasha. With piece of meat: a cutlet, a chicken drumstick, rarely a piece of fish. 3. tea or dried fruits compote Season permitted it would have an additional piece or a whole of an apple, a cucumber, a tomato, a pear, a piece of melon.
School lunches in USSR if not fully subsidized would be of rather symbolic value.
My kids go to US public school system. I'm Ok with their variety since at home they have an abundance of fruits, vegetables and everything.
