I can’t do it but that is the closest to being ok. The sausage it still edible if a little syrup gets on it.
But that isn't what you said. LOL
Dumb argument. I am out. Chicken and waffles aren't rare, at all.
I stand by that chicken and waffles aren't found in all that many places in Iowa. The metros will have it but that's mostly it.

I put two kids through public school in a relatively urban/suburban school district in Iowa and I am almost 100% certain waffles and chicken were never on a lunch menu together and I GUARANTEE there was never a combo of chicken, waffles and watermelon.
Yes, chicken and waffles are an increasingly popular item at some restaurants these days, but trying to act like its a staple school lunch item is ludicrous.
Hopefully party potatoes, because that's getting pretty close to the 7 year anniversary of the party potato fiasco. It's a nationwide thing now.
I don't care enough to read all five pages of this thread, but it did encourage me to look up the history of Chicken and Waffles. Apologies if this has already been posted:
A traditional story about the origin of the dish in soul food states that because African Americans in the South rarely had the opportunity to eat chicken and were more familiar with flapjacks or pancakes than with waffles, they considered the dish a delicacy. For decades, it remained "a special-occasion meal in African American families."[10] Other historians, however, cite a scarcity of early evidence of the dish's existence in the South; they place the origin later, after the post-Civil War migration of Southern African-Americans to the North during the Reconstruction Era. The combination of chicken and waffles does not appear in early Southern cookbooks such as Mrs. Porter’s Southern Cookery Book, published in 1871, or in What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking, published in 1881 by former slave Abby Fisher.[11] Fisher's cookbook is generally considered the first cookbook written by an African American.[10] The lack of a recipe for the combination of chicken and waffles in Southern cookbooks from the era may suggest a later origin for the dish. Popular culture may have associated the dish with the South by 1917, when Edna Ferber's Fanny Herself mentioned a Chicago restaurant falsely advertising "Southern chicken dinner with waffles and real maple syrup, 35 cents each."[12]
For what it's worth, I ****ing love chicken and waffles. The real outrage should come from schools serving up those shitty breaded fish sticks.
Amark serves up shit food like this. Now imagine an option of fruit choices. And one of the choices was watermelon. (I've had shit frozen melon as a kid and it sucks)
While also realizing that chicken and waffles had already been planned for the day before at some point being revised. So there was a mix up and the shitty chicken and waffles returned along with the planned non-descript "fruit" offering clearly marked for each school lunch day on the Feb calendar.
It's easy to see how this could be a non planned event.

Here's another from 4 years ago: (I just spent 2 minutes on google)
Nothing more snowflakey than the bogeymanning of CRT and turning it into a damn oh no we’re telling white boys that they’re evil oh noes oh noes and drafting state legislation and making it basically a part of a party platform good god you fücking imbecile have a modicum of awareness you precipitously dumb fück.
Are these photos of school lunches in Iowa? Was the meal served on the first day of Black History Month? Context.
No idea where. I was just curious how many hits I'd get on reddit looking for school lunches featuring it. That and I wanted to point out how hilariously shitty and soulless what I found was. (processed chicken and a frozen waffle)

Intent aside, if you think this was just a coincidence then there’s nothing you won’t believe.
Was it ever reported who actually changed the menu? It wasn't the school and wasn't Aramark. So who? Edit: @Colonoscopy 's schtick is playing Devil's Advocate.
I never said I was convinced it was a coincidence. Rather... I did say that those that are seemingly convinced (or close to) that it was not a coincidence or gaff are wrong thinking. That's my beef.
You watched this video, right?
It's not Devil's Advocate since I actually believe my position; that this shouldn't be viewed as necessarily a purposeful attempt to cause discord. But yes, I obviously have no problem going against the grain.
The video clearly answers your question. District officials blame changes in Amark leadership for the mixup. (in referencing why the modified menu, which removed Chicken and Waffles from Feb 1, was not followed) Amark only said, from what I recall, that they screwed up. (although it wasn't a purposeful attempt at Black History month meal)
Clear as day in this video.
What the hell does that mean?
I communicate clear as day, answering your questions and you give me that.
Come on now, did the video clear things up?
Oh good grief. Look, there is only a giant bias towards finding the "bad actor" guilty in situations where a topic lots of people are passionate about is concerned. Cops, racism, murder, pedophiles -- nobody likes it or them and it's easy to believe the worst.
This means it's easy for lots of people to read more into situations than what they ought to given the available evidence and knowledge of circumstances at hand. We clearly have an over-abundance of this sort of thinking, and an under-abundance of circumspect thinking when it comes to these sorts of topics.
Your position is nothing to be proud of.
Your problem is you assume a bad actor way too quickly. I enjoy calling you out on it. That's what's going on.

Look at the handful of other posters that are agreeing with you on this subject. Then reflect.This guy saves me from getting too wordy here... there's a reason I don't invoke occam's razor too often...
