In my case, nothing. I attended a private school. Maybe the public schools are better, but I doubt they are much better. My health knowledge is completely self-taught. I lived off junk food as a kid and didn’t start learning nutrition and eating healthy until I started having major health problems.

According to 
» Calorie Per Dollar List – Eat For 21 Dollars A Week (efficiencyiseverything.com) <https://efficiencyiseverything.com/calorie-per-dollar-list/>
flour has 4,464 calories per dollar. Rice, which isn’t even very nutritious, has 2,320 calories per dollar. The actually healthy food has significantly fewer calories per dollar than flour so a lot of the food poor families live on is made mostly of unhealthy flour with all the nutrients stripped out and a few synthetic ones added back in.

Definitely not in any of the ones I went to.
