Yes, it’s a mystery why there are so many food allergies now. Some think it may be GMOs.
My mother went to the same country school I did, about 200 miles east of Spokane. But she went during the depression and I went in the sixties. She always packed a lovely, well balanced lunch for me. When she was a girl I’m sure that her lunches were nutritious too. But she said that some kids had lard or plain mustard sandwiches just before payday and baloney just after payday. I think some also had store bread. Some of the lard sandwich families went to the movies A LOT more which wouldn’t be saying much because my grandparents never went!
I do remember the horror story a few years ago about the teacher who threw away a girls sack lunch and replaced it with chicken nuggets. That would make me so mad—home schooling time.
How are you?
