you are what you eat.
fed up with school lunch
this is a pretty good read, it's like fast food nation, for school lunches in wherever this lady is working in America. if i had to eat the amount of pizza or chicken nuggets she has eaten i think i would have killed myself (i, for one, have stopped eating nuggets after jamie oliver and several youtube videos enlightened me, except on days where my own mother offers it as meat for the day).
i never used to take recess in school (secondary, or primary). i only started eating real food when i was in polytechnic, when i had full days of classes. so i'm living proof, if you look at my old pictures, that school lunches aren't the only thing that makes you big sized. i used to drink soy milk and have something like a string of sugared attap seeds for recess in primary school, and when i got to secondary i was living on sandwiches (i never ate breakfast, so i just had recess)- but i was still the size i was. maybe it was the wonderful foods my parents fed me after school. hahaha.
i still am pretty much that size now (i still fit into my 16 year old prom dress, kthx), so... genes? haha. of course now, i read the nutritional labels and ingredients lists (also because of my sudden loss in ability to digest lactose). but i'm glad our country has a pyramid system, where rice and noodles are still staples, and cola is not allowed to be sold in primary school canteens.
so, what did you used to eat for school lunches/recess? ^^
