Is this sharing lunch thing new? I don`t recall this when I was a kid.

Mmmm, no. At many schools kids would bring sacked lunches and there's a natural inclination to share/swap items. Even when kids all ate cafeteria food, there'd be some things some kids wouldn't eat and swapping would take place there too. So for example, I ended up eating other kid's spinaches.

Maybe at the girls and girly boy tables.

I can`t recall ever swapping/sharing lunches when I was in school. I guess I hung out with a different crowd. Stealing food was always in play, but sharing/trading? No, didn`t happen at my table.
