Is the charged price per lunch symbolic (very low) or not?

My guess is because once a company wins the contract to be the lunch vendor, they have a captive audience and don't really have to compete to be good. That, and kids are fine with greasy low quality food.
Prison food is worse, much worse. I was told it cost something like $2/day/prisoner, then about half way through my stay the quality got even worse, and the administrator in charge of food was recognized for saving the state even more money on food... he was later found to be taking bribes from food suppliers and fled to Iran.
