70 years ago when I was in public elementary school, farmers would pick up scrap food from behind the school cafeteria daily. For their pigs.

Us kids were instructed on how to dispose of our left-over food, napkins silverware and trays. Smooth operation.

I remember that, too.

Also, our lunch ladies actually COOKED rather than reheat processed frozen garbage. And school lunch was really good.

And we could go back for seconds on veggies. Sometimes, not too often, for a bit more of the meat entree. Never, though, for those rolls they made - those were heaven!
