When I first started school, there was no cafeteria. Brother and I brought our own lunches, which were at first made by my mother, then when we were old enough, we made our own.

Then the district opened a cafeteria. Not allowed to leave the building and eventually, not allowed to bring our own lunches. The food was some kind of surplus like the blocks of cheese the feds gave out to the elderly and the poor. It was putrid, but at least we could get some version of pizza, burgers and fries. Now who knows what they serve now. Tofu, I guess.

I'd like to hope that a conservative president, in cooperation with a conservative congress, will do away with this program altogether. Speaking of doing away, how about we get rid of the Department of Education and let the states take control of education.

You couldn’t bring your own meal to school? Seriously?
