Yes indeed. And the only reason I bought my lunch those last three years was because I was forced to do so. The school district had a policy forbidding us from bringing our own lunches. Government always knows what's best for us, doncha know.

Well if the menu was Beef Wellington, and Scottish Eggs it wouldn’t be so bad.

Either my mother or my sister and I made our lunches every day. The exception being pizza day or when mom or dad would bring us lunch- a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken or chicken from Little Mint was especially welcomed back then.

> “The high schoolers especially complained the portion sizes were too small, and many more students brought in lunch from home.”

And I bet the end result will be even fatter students because they are so hungry when they get home they overeat. Or bring more food to school and overeat just the same. Libs just dont seem to get common sense or human behavior. I think its because they live in a fantasy / virtual world with rainbows and unicorns.

Our son in law is from England and I bought an English comfort food cookbook to learn to make a few of his favorites . There are some good ones, but I must agree that there are more than a few which do not agree with American taste buds. Bacon sandwiches, eggy bread ( French toast slathered with ketchup), and baked bean sandwiches to name a few.

Sorry Leigh, I love you a lot, but yech !

It’s funny you mentioned Baked Bean Sandwiches! I saw the Beatles eating those on an old music video on “You Tube” recently! I couldn’t figure out what it was, until I read one of the comments. A person said they were eating beans on toast or bread. It showed on an old music video with one of their songs playing in the background; and George Harrison was putting beans on toast or bread and folding it over to eat it! I also saw Paul and the other guys eating what looked like fish and chips, or a sandwich, in a wrapper on another video. Of course, as most of us know, Paul is now a Vegetarian; so that was weird to see him eating that back then, because he wasn’t always one!

He loves those baked bean sandwiches- but it’s hard to find the right kind of baked bean here - it has to be a certain kind. Most American baked beans aren’t right, and neither is the bacon, according to him. The baked beans in the green Heinz can come pretty close, if you ever want to make an authentic bean sandwich, and give it a try.

Crack up about Paul McCartney eating meat!

He likes American food, but sometimes, you want your childhood favorites, you know! They did live in England for a bit, and you should hear my daughter complain about having no ranch dressing, and no ice in a coke!

Putting an affirmative action lawyer in charge of children’s nutrition is a bad idea in the first place.

The very idea that growing children have the same nutritional needs as a 50-year old, overweight black woman is a symptom of pathological narcissism on the part of the 50-year old, overweight black woman.
