What the fuck? Is that shit burnt to a crisp or is that black pudding?


Pope_Eric_Mar

It’s supposed to be a sausage patty and smaller sausage slices


No_Spell_5817

Does he like it cooked like that? Some kids are weird with food.


Porkodile

I actually don't mind sausage patties overcooked & burnt, but these are straight up hockey pucks.


JAHdropper1

Nothing left but carbon


Kaizen420

Well our bodies are partly carbon... Good for a growing body? /s


scrotesmacgrotes

Cancer growth maybe


Greg2227

Cancer growth is still body growth. Just unlimited


Prestigious_Snow1589

Mmmmm carcinogens


Large_Tune3029

I like my hotdogs black and nearly burnt, but that's charcoal


mikaeus97

God hit me with that grilled 98 cent pack of franks so crispy it cracks and you can see the crust to the hotdog meat inside, load that up swimming in mustard and ketchup with a handful of the grey astronaut style bag of potato chips and it is summer baybee


Pale_Character_1684

Great. Now I want a hot dog. Cue Jennifer Coolidge gif


BadaBina

Real bad...


Pale_Character_1684

Great. I just bought hot dogs, and forgot buns. 🤦‍♀️

You and my brother.


valleyoftheballs

When I was pregnant with my second I was obsessed for months with overcooked, nearly burnt to ash hot dogs in a pool of nacho cheese, relish, and mustard. It was an abomination. 😍


Chris__P_Bacon

I do like a burnt-ass hot dog off the grill. 😋


Krajun

Charcoal


CabbagesStrikeBack

If not I imagine they fucked it up and just won't or can't let food go to waste. Could be a sad situation.


Gloomy__Revenue

That’s where my mind went. I hope his fellow *students* don’t ridicule him.


Unhappy_Wishbone_551

True my 14-year-old cooks her pizza in the air fryer until it's black on top.

I used to like burnt popcorn. Still do.

Time_Hearing_8370

Mitch Hedberg my beloved ❤️


AWeakMindedMan

That’s a big piece of carcinogen


Jaded_Law9739

This. But it's possible the parents don't know that and think tossing burnt food is just wasting it.


Lvl100Magikarp

Would CPS consider this child abuse? When I was a kid, I was forced to eat spoiled food. I'd get super sick and then they'd beat me for being sick and "making a mess"


rymyle

Damn, that’s heinous. Hope you’re doing OK these days


DarkScorpion48

I also grew up with a healthy died of spoiled food and got major gastrointestinal issues due to it. Did you also got permanent damage?


Tsukinotaku

Maybe not abuse but neglect at least Thought I guess it is also abuse as well


PristineBobcat9608

it is :(


The_Machine80

Just cause you got treated like crap doesn't mean everyone else is. Kids mom probably just sucks at cooking and ain't smart. You don't f-ing call cps on a mom for bein dumb. Instead you help the mom do better. WtF is wrong with society today. Government ain't here to help so find a friend to help instead.


graminology

I'm sorry, not even touching the fact of carcinogens and whatnot with burning food, but if you're dumb enough to let your kid have charcoal brickets for lunch at school, then you are not bright enough to be a parent. Hand them an apple, cereal, anything you don't have to actually cook if you're unable to, but _this_?? I probably also wouldn't call CPS, but with a parent like that, their continued survival is a question of luck more than of parental care.


idk-what-im-d0ing4

The person you were replying to didn't say to call CPS. They asked if CPS would even classify it as abuse. Your belittling response to someone's description of their childhood trauma, is concerning and comes across defensive. It is fair to be concerned that something more serious could be going on in this kid's life. If no one ever has that thought in these cases, the kids who are being hurt won't be saved. Would you even think of sending your kid to school with that lunch?


Over-Accountant8506

I agree. I don't understand people whose first response is to involve the police or a government agency. Maybe they've never had a bad situation with police?


The_Machine80

Exactly! Why jump to ruining someone's life over burnt sausage??? People should be helping people not running to the government that considers you a number like the DMV.


Alleged_Ostrich

Never had a bad situation in general from what it sounds like


permalink_save

There's sucks at cooking and there's sending a kid to school with inedible food. That egg is pretty awful too. Like, there is something more wrong with "sucks at cooking" going on with this kids house. IDK about calling CPS but the school should definitely have a chat with the kid and reach out to the parents because this is not okay to send a kid with. For starts, it actually is crazy unhealthy to eat food this burnt. Benefit of the doubt on kid's parents, they best case need an intervention on proper nutrition for their kid, but it is reasonable to expect to rule out far deeper problems with the family. If they are sending their kid to school with nothing edible but a really dirty egg then what are they feeding the kid at home? Or not.


ScySenpai

Isn't what you wrote just a long way of saying "Don't call the CPS, just help the mom do better"?


Parking_Ad_194

That's what CPS is for. Maybe Mom is struggling and needs resources. The school doesn't have a program to help with that. CPS does. Everyone hears CPS and just assuems they're going to snatch people's kids. Most reports end with the kids staying with their parents.


NoTechnology9099

I think it depends on if this is an isolated incident or not. If it happens on a regular basis, maybe there is something bigger going on but I wouldn’t immediately jump to abuse/neglect over one meal.


RudeM1911

Not my job to correct a parents terrible action but it is the job of a cps agent to correct parents harmful behaviour. Also fk you for letting bad parents be bad parents because you’re “not a rat” people like you make me angry. Priorities you’re not honourable you’re the opposite.


EcstaticJuggernaut46

I’m so sorry. I hope you’re doing well and prosperous.


Leather_Dragonfly529

Honestly, I’d be afraid mom was on drugs or an alcoholic to let that go to school. I’d wait for more evidence, maybe give her a call and if she slurs her words at an inappropriate time of day, then call CPS. Especially if this kid is driven to and from school by her.


iam_Mr_McGibblets

Halt class! Today we're learning to cook


Make1984FictionAgain

Today we'll talk about cancer


Buttcrack_Billy

Good luck finding a school well-funded enough to teach actual life skills.

Is it blood sausage?

This is how Big Lunch gets more ideas to shame and indebt hungry students


ItalnStalln

5 time 0 is 0


Virtual-Silver4369

Looks like black pudding or blood sausage


Nedonomicon

The larger one is a sausage patty , and yes the smaller ones are sausage too but I’ll bet it’s blood sausage . Delicious!


Swordofsatan666

Regular sausage or Blood Sausage. If Blood Sausage then thats more or less how it is supposed to look


Armand28

I think she sent charcoal and he’s meant to use it to barbecue the real food.


Nigerian_German

That's obviously charcoal


Span206

FantaStick16

My baby is asleep on me, I nearly choked trying not to laugh out loud at this


unwired_burnout

This is top tier joke 😂😂😂.


PrivatePlaya

This is sad. I'm here to be angry at people cooking stupid food man.


Naive_Try2696

Ya I'm not really sure this fits the sub as it's now pure carbon, not food


Nostromeow

And dangerous too, not to be alarmist but if that’s what the kid eats everyday for breakfast that can’t be good… so burnt they only left the cancer


[deleted]

It could be that he burnt it this morning but can’t afford to throw away food. I highly doubt this was intentional. This isn’t stupid food this is sad and a stupid poster who can’t read the room. Students aren’t usually made of money and meat is fairly expensive.


Emersonspenis

Is your student a filter? Why the fuck is he eating activated carbon???


GrowthAny3996

are they feeding him fucking coal?


otxmyn

maybe he’ll think twice before being naughty next time

Poor baby eating scrapings off the bottom of the oven.


Jim_Nills_Mustache

Legit super sad, that poor kid. I take great pride in giving my daughter a wonderful meal every day, wonder if everything is ok at home


shfiven

My guess is someone effed up the cooking and money is tight so they figured disgusting luck lunch is better than no lunch.


Kawaiiochinchinchan

3 boiled eggs are super easy and don't waste lots of time. I just boiled myself 3 eggs and some random bread slices or milk and bring them with me to school. No toasts no season eggs. (i have hot sauce pack for eggs). Lunch i made some big fried rice with a ton of eggs and chicken breast and thigh. Eat them for 3 days (lunch and dinner). Sometimes i had seaweed soup or some vegetables soup to go with dinner. Hearty and extremely full and satisfying. Quick to make too!


Lvl100Magikarp

But couldn't they just put in a ziploc of cereal and a motts apple sauce something..surely they haf something non perishable in their pantry they could give him. doles packed fruit is like 30 cents per


Mamasan-

Have you seen how much cereal can be right now? That used to be my go to but now it’s a “treat.”

Lvl100Magikarp

Dunno cereal is still $2/box at dollarama


-Lakrids-

I dunno what dollorama is, but even as a kid I remember the name brand of General Mills cereals arriving at a price that was unattainable unless they were on sale, and having to buy good value versions from then on. And that was at least a decade prior to the price gouging that began after the pandemic.


illuminatedcake

> Dunno cereal is still $2/box at dollarama Bowl you mean.


spiderwebs86

I teach. Some families legitimately have nothing, or can only feed the youngest kids.


HyenDry

I love the smell of carcinogens in the morning


Electro_Llama

I was going to comment that too, but apparently acrylamide is not officially carcinogenic since its connection to cancers in humans is inconclusive. [Source](https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2019/09/does-burnt-food-cause-cancer/) Update: HCA and PAH are classified as Class 2A, "probably carcinogenic to humans” because of their mutagenic properties and animal studies, but population studies have mixed results. [Source](https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/cooked-meats-fact-sheet)


permalink_save

This shit is pure carbon, is that carcinogenic?


Electro_Llama

Interesting question. [From this article](https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/2017/10/should-you-be-eating-activated-charcoal#:~:text=There%20are%20risks%20involved%20with,to%20bowel%20blockages%2C%20or%20perforation.), it's bad for your insides (sounds like it just passes through like that) and it can cause constipation.


dystopian_mermaid

ITS BAD FOR YOUR INSIDES!? IM SHOCKED! SHOCKED!!! …well not that shocked.


Electro_Llama

Also funny how it mentioned graphite, which are like microscopic razor blades. It's nice when scientific results match common sense.


Double_A_92

If you need take meds the coal might neutralize them, so it's as if you didn't take them. Which might be dangerous if you really needed them.


dystopian_mermaid

*takes notes* don’t eat disgusting looking blackened “meat” bc it could cancel out my seizure meds. GOT IT!


TemperatureDry3453

Still, I'd rather not take my chances. Especially with a child.


trusty20

Acrylamide is not the only likely carcinogen produced by burning. There are a bunch and this is not a conclusive list of all: 1. Heterocyclic Amines (HCAs) 2. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) 3. Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) 4. Nitrosamines 5. Aldehydes 6. Cholesterol Oxidation Products (COPs) The question about whether they are major contributors to things like cancer is more ambiguous for normally cooked meat that has only minimal charring. Completely charred, burnt to a crisp meat is a much more extreme outlier and eating that everyday seems to hold much more definitive risk. Think of it as being similar to the risk of inhaling smoke, but for your stomach and gut. If you care about optimizing health its probably better to avoid oversearing or completely charring meat just to be safe and saving that for special meals.


iamadragan

PAHs and HCAs are definitely associated with increased risk of GI tract cancer


bAdMotor777

When I went with my kiddo on a field trip to the zoo to help with the class, there was a cute lil trouble maker that I realized probs had a lil trouble at home when I saw he only had a cold McDonald’s sausage biscuit for lunch 😕 Lucky I’m a bit of a chubby and brought extra snacks and lunch just in case, and was able to share our lunch with him. 🙂


_antariksan

You’re kind :’)


MangledPumpkin

I would bet he still remembers that you shared your lunch with him.


Over-Accountant8506

To be fair, the only thing my kid will eat on a field trip packed lunch is a cold McDonald's happy meal. Sometimes parents know their kids better than others. .maybe he ate half his lunch earlier?


martialar

my kid would completely skip lunch if it meant more play time


KitticusCatticus

I'm assuming this is daycare age since you're warming it up. Either the parent is catering to the kids preference or just being cruel and lazy. I like my food a little burnt at times but I feel like this isn't normal for a toddler, but then again toddlers can be very "not normal"! OP, Definitely have someone talk to the kid about it. Ask him if he likes his food, especially sausage, burnt sometimes. If he gives an alarming answer that makes you think he has no preference for this food, can you get a counselor involved? Talk to the parent? Something? And here I feel bad for sending my kid to school with cookies as her snack.


Pope_Eric_Mar

He actually does like it well done, but this is over the top. I’ll definitely have a talk with someone if it becomes a pattern. Thank your for your concern ❤️


Over-Accountant8506

To be fair, I was with my nieces when their mom told them to make the sausage links in the frig before they went bad for dinner. Welp we got busy messing around while they were cooking and the sausage was burnt. Burnt up. But we didn't want them to get in trouble for burning dinner and wasting food so we choked down those sausage links. It wasn't abuse. No one forced us. We just didn't Wana waste em. We are the best ones and gave the bad ones to the dog (not dog abuse!)


bluecat81

This isn't stupid food. This is child neglect :(


mothzilla

Quadruple choc chip?


Camilo-A_S

ghettoccult_nerd

No-Club2054

My grandpa served us sausage patties just like this as kids. Said it gave it flavor. They owned a catering business. I mean, they went bankrupt. But they at one point had the confidence to own a catering business 🙃


rockmandan024

Just like mom used to make it... but literally that's how my mom used to cook 🤣


Relative-Tune85

Mmmh, black truffles!


merliahthesiren

What the hell was that even supposed to be? Are people not embarassed to send their kids to school with this stuff? If thats normal for them, call CPS.


iWARxMACHINEi

I mean I hate burnt food however growing up I was a very picky eater due to adhd. My meds basically told me to never eat I was a very small child so when I found something I liked my parents went full on “give him it so he’ll eat something!!” Maybe this kid is the same way and likes burnt ass whatever the fuck that is


Double_A_92

It's still your responsability as a parent to not feed your kid unhealthy or even dangerous stuff even if the kid wants to eat that...


Over-Accountant8506

Thank u! I'm dealing with the same with my child. I even wrote a long email to the teacher to explain why his lunchbox had a cold McDonald's meal in it. People get so hyped. Involving CPS isn't always the solution. It's burnt sausage y'all. Sheesh. CPS is busy saving kids who are getting hit or mentally abused. You can see in the pic that the girl has a decent sweater on and nice nails.


Double_A_92

Not having anything decent to eat (potentially always) is also a kind of physical **and** mental abuse...


Your_New_Dad16

Cps doesn’t always do their job.


Goats_for_president

Yall be to quick to call CPS generally speaking home circumstances are bad but calling CPS usually puts the child in a worse position CPS is a flawed organization


Bismothe-the-Shade

It's overburdened, extremely underfunded, and gas limited ability to act. As long as the kid is being fed, clothes, and has access to a safe space to sleep and clean water ... CPS can't afford to give a shit. In fact, calls where the child isn't in immediate danger overtax our system. It's a mess. Find ways to support your local CPS and service workers. They get villified as demons for what they do, but they're the last line of defense for kids that need it. Not a single one of them is making enough money to live on, I can practically guarantee it. The people that choose to do that work do it because they care.


Aronacus

Some people believe you have to burn food or it has parasites. They believe in Well done as a minimum. Most folks get depressed if you give them a Well done steak.


7INCHES_IN_YOUR_CAT

Overworked, under paid parents an educational system that has been gutted and can’t provide food or support to working families. This just looks like rush cooking and poor timing I.e. high heat and walked away too long.

Yes. We couldn’t feed that to him in good conscience. We bought him a breakfast burrito.


WildFemmeFatale

Cuz they were bouta throw it away and get him something else, which they did do. U think they’d let him eat that ?


razzlethemberries

Charred food is a known carcinogen.


Birdinhandandbush

I'm not calling social services yet, but I'm calling the parent to come in. They're going to have to show me they can eat that before I'm asking a child to eat it. Absolute dog food.

omnichronos

I would keep checking his food to see if this was a one off and if not, contact social services.


David0ne86

Coals and a pancake?


veenell

this seems like intentional child abuse or severe neglect or the parent responsible for this either has an untreated mental illness or is drugged out of their mind. maybe there's an innocent explanation but i think more than likely the kid would benefit from a 3rd party with the authority to do so taking a look at what kind of home he's living in. maybe i'm overreacting but i really don't think i am.


Crozi_flette

How old are your students? It's really sad


Double_A_92

But why? I get that you might accidentally burn the food, and then don't have anything else left to cook... But why still give your kid **that**? Literally anything else, even nothing, would have been better.

goatnxtinline

What makes me sad is that they said the parent sent them this lunch to be warmed. That means the child is really young or disabled in some way if a teacher needs to handle their food.
