Are school lunches really much different than when I was young?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t think it makes THAT big of a difference. My school lunches weren’t healthy and they weren’t usually very tasty either. I don’t really know where the kids were that enjoyed eating them, really I don’t even know if anyone enjoyed them. But Taco Day was good. I think the problem is no one walks anywhere anymore, and no one exercises, and when they leave school instead of a cooked meal, McDonalds is dinner.
