"The calories and nutritional value for adults and juveniles are not up to par," the suit signed by all three men reads, according to the Courier News. "The food is served cold and most times, bread, cookies and cakes are served soggy due to wet and cracked trays. Food is distasteful and disgusting."

The body makes uric acid when digesting food and...
