I came from modest means, raised my kids with modest means, and now they are raising their with modest means. And there is NO free lunch... all generations of our family made and continue to make lunches, and we had breakfast together before we all piled out the door. When I was older we were “allowed” to buy lunch on pizza Fridays, which we loved. I'm sure Moochellle has made those illegal by now.

They do that on Thursdays at WBill Jr's school. He says its "OK", which is about how *I* remember it, too. :-)

I've had the Moochelle-sponsored lunches when I visit him for lunch. They're pretty bad. Kids, for the most part, eat the desserts and nibble around the edges of the rest. I don't blame them - last time I went it was "Corn Dog Nuggets" (no idea how THOSE are healthy) and steamed corn. I'm too old to be particular, but my only thought was "Yick". No idea what a finicky 7 year old would think.

Lots and lots of food getting wasted.
