But, um, instead every day during junior high I threw away the lunch and used the milk money to buy a chocolate pudding pop. That's it. For three years I had a chocolate pudding pop for lunch every day. When I'm at my kids' school and see how students waste their lunches, first I'm saddened by their habits, then I remember what I did!

Thanks for sharing that. Although my kids aren't there yet I'm really curious to see how the entire school lunch / menu / and money thing is going to pan out. This post brought back so many memories of Monday mornings having to buy a long yellow ticket from the scary lunch-lady behind the menu. *shivers* And...I don't remember any stinkin' extras!!! I'll be adding your post to my Monday Morning Munchies next week. Keep your eyes open! Wow, what great sites! Thanks for sharing that.

I did pack him a lunch a few times and he always came home with some of what I packed (fruit or the cheese stick). I'd rather have him waste school lunch than the stuff I sent him because I'd eat the fruit and cheese sticks instead of him wasting them.

So when they get the treat of a hot lunch they're doing a dance out the door :) My kids LOVE to have hot lunch, probably because I always pack their food instead.
