Conspiracy in the Kitchen: What's Really in Your Food?

After receiving many a complaint about the quality of food served out our school caterer, The Grub Truck, this reporter decided to take a closer look, to find out what exactly was the issue. The results will shock you.

The Grub Truck seems like a reasonable enough food caterer, served by a decent guy, but what really goes on behind that serving window, which seems to have been ignored for so long?

According to sources, who had previously worked in the restaurant, a lot of the food is actually frozen for months, even past its legal expiration date, before being cooked (the night before) and served to students. Not only that, but I was appalled to find that Hollywood Arts students had actually been sent there to work as a punishment, with no parental permission.

Manager of The Grub Truck, who goes by the single name Festus, sat down for a word with me, where he revealed that "Yes, the food may be past its expiration day, but you can't spell mystery meat without mystery." When I asked about the safety and hygiene policies, I found that there were none, except that people working had to wear gloves while serving.

So there's the facts, and now its up to you to decide. Is that really what you want to be eating at your lunch breaks?
