How did this country ever survive back when parents packed the kids' lunches?

My Dad served in WWII and Viet Nam. When he was a kid he took lard sandwiches to school. How could he grow up to be a member of "The Greatest Generation" after eating lard sandwiches for his school lunch?

My brother loved them. I hated them. I preferred mayonnaise sandwiches. ( yes — just mayo)

I was part of the ‘greatest generation and served in the Pacific in WWII. My sole brother was killed on Okinawa a few months before I landed on Leyte. We survived the great depression by having many meals of days old bread soaked in reconstituted powdered milk. At the time we didn’t think such a life would be put in the category of tin foil which seems to be the material of choice for some people..
