In the Hannah Montana season 3 episode 12, titled "You Give Lunch A Bad Name", Miley Stewart (played by Miley Cyrus) and her best friend Lilly Truscott (played by Emily Osment) volunteer to become lunch ladies at their school in order to prove to a local TV critic that school lunch can be delicious and nutritious.
As they begin their new jobs, Miley and Lilly are surprised to find that the school's lunchroom is run by a tyrannical and grumpy manager, Earl (played by Vicki Lawrence). Earl is determined to serve only the blandest and most unappetizing food to the students, and he isn't pleased with Miley and Lilly's attempts to spice things up.
Despite Earl's protests, Miley and Lilly start serving up tasty new dishes and making the lunchroom a more inviting and enjoyable place for the students. However, when Earl finds out about their unauthorized menu changes, he threatens to fire them both.
Determined to prove that healthy food can also be tasty, Miley and Lilly decide to throw a lunchtime concert, with Miley performing as her alter ego, Hannah Montana. The show is a hit with the students, but Earl is less than thrilled and threatens to end their lunch lady gig for good.
In the end, Miley and Lilly's efforts to improve the school lunchroom pay off, and the TV critic is impressed with the changes they've made. Meanwhile, Miley's relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Jake Ryan (played by Cody Linley) hits another bump in the road when Jake reveals that he's been cast in a new movie and may have to move away.
Overall, "You Give Lunch A Bad Name" is a heartwarming and entertaining episode of Hannah Montana, with plenty of humor, drama, and music to keep fans of the show engaged. It also carries an important message about the importance of healthy eating and the power of perseverance in the face of obstacles.
