When you let the Gov’t decide how to feed the kids, dictating your desired curriculum to the Gov’t schools seems to be unlikely.

Gee, a highlight of school was always breaking out a new lunchbox.

1960. Kindergarten, Hayward, CA. Breakfast at my parents' table daily. Lunchbox: sandwich, string potatoes, fruit, cake or cookie, milk in thermos bottle. Supper at my parents' table.

So, what are we worried about here.

When are they going to tell parents to stop driving their kids to and from school and letting them walk the gew blocks instead?

PB & J. Oh the horror.

Maybe that’s why I’m so loony. Baloney and cheese on wonder bread. Sometimes PB&J with an apple. And....horrors, I would get a little can of those fried shoestring potatoes! Sometimes I even was forced to take chicken noodle soup in a thermos.
And don’t forget that little snack sized box of raisins.

My lunches were so expensive that it was just wrong for the government to make my parents sacrifice to feed me. Of course, getting up in the morning and making my lunch was also beyond the call of duty.

I’ll let you in on a secret. My mother was a bipolar alcoholic and about half the time when I was in grade school I made my own breakfast and lunch on school days. That ought to be sufficient to get me excused from robbing a bank. Instead I’ve wasted my life being responsible.

That is how I grew up.

I still bring lunch to work, it cost me about 3 bucks a day.

I watch the kids head for their cars to dump 10 bucks a day.

It saves me $1,800 a year.

They still don’t get how I can afford expensive camera gear...

2nd thought maybe the schools real concern is the lack of chemicals the kids will miss getting in the school provided food (IE: extra hormones, whatever other crap that seems to make each generation have new flood of health issues)
