I ate the school lunch as a kid. It was about 35 cents. I can remember the smell of fresh light bread baking in the morning. We had whole milk, pizza with a thick layer of ground beef, fried chicken, fish sticks, spaghetti and meatballs, and always that freshly baked yeast roll. Of course, I grew up in Louisiana, best food in the world.

Today, lunch costs about $3.00 per day. There is skim milk in a yucky plastic bag, and other junk like salads and a hoagie roll with very little meat in it. Not much protein at all. So, I fix lunch for my children.

Different today than when most of us went to school.

We had very little but dad worked hard to put food on the table. Mother made sure we had hot meal for breakfast and clean cloths. I carried my lunch in a wore out lunch box. Sandwich and sometime some fruit.

For a lot of kids today. They Dont know where dad is. May not even know where mom is half the time.

School in our day was to teach. Now it is the primary care provider.

Your heart crys for the children and another lost generation of Americans.
