I brown bagged from K-12. It was considered a treat to be able to buy "hot lunch" once in a while so you really had to study the cafeteria menu to make sure you made the most it, but those were simpler times and there was a mother who made dynamite lunches. Now my last daughter is in high school and considers it embarrassing to bring her lunch. She buys every day and when I ask her what she gets most of the time it's pizza and french fries. There's very little that's even prepared anymore, the majority is actually brought in. I can vouch why mine eats what she does, the salads, heated vegetables, most anything they can keep in a warmer look gross. I couldn't believe it until I poked my head in to see just what today's school cafeteria looks like. Our school also banned the sale of soda. I like the fact that the kids can no longer buy it, but there's a soda vending machine in the teacher's lounge.
