Gee I wonder why

 

1. My whole primary school life was brown bag and in high school I left the campus every day to eat real food on my own dime.Better that than deal with the lemmings in the cafeteria.

2. I almost always packed my lunch. Except for that three years (1967-1969) when we lived across the alley from school. Then we went home for lunch. Amazing how Campbell’s Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich taste good despite being cooked by Mom (who could burn water). But it was home, and it was Mom. I treasure those few years.

3. We had great lunches at out schools.  Made mostly from scratch, by sweet old ladies that were also our neighbors.  Always fresh, always tasty, always filling.  I guess I was lucky.

4. That packet of cheese/peanut butter crackers is probably considered “contraband” in a lot of east-coast public schools. Better to be caught with a nickel-bag of pot, probably!

5. I really can’t remember eating a school lunch - but I know that my Mom would never, ever pack a lunch for me. So I suppose one reason that I was so skinny growing up is that I ate very little during the day. That looks sick to me - and I’ve eaten every thing in it.

   I remember going to school for the summer lunch program with my kids (don’t hate me, keeping two residences, thanks to the military, stretched us thin financially) - the chicken lunch was great, the hot dogs was tolerable - everything else bordered on yucky - but the kids had figured out how to make them tolerable - remove some things or load up with condiments.
