Time to return the lunch menu to the locals. Michelle’s crap is a flop. And kids need a lot more protein and calories than in that crappy diet. And it looks like “used food”.
Growing up in the 50s we had the wonderful local cooks. Tuna casseroles with browned crusts, meat loaf, fresh vegetables, home-baked rolls, all kinds of delectables.
My family had little money, though, so we brought our brown bags from home with tuna or peanut butter and jelly and carrot sticks, oranges or apples.
As a rural school, though, there was a rotating program where every few months some kids would work the kitchen for a week, washing and clearing tables. During that week, the working kids got free hot lunch all week.
It was delicious! My mother never had much interest in food so we always ate the simple basics. The cafeteria stuff with lots of butter and gravy was heaven to me and my sis!
