did you grow up with the schools providing lunches for you?

Not in grade school for me, I walked home for lunch.

In MI, there were cafeterias with hot meals....during jr hi (7-8-9th grades, $1.50 a week w/a 5 day ticket)

Same for high school (price went up to .50 a day)
Overall, some pretty decent food.
Not hot dogs or burgers..those were treats maybe on a Friday.
