Sometimes I used to take cans of sardines in mustard sauce on days
where I didn't like the school lunch.
My mother was concerned that doing so would make the other kids not
like me. I told her I
didn't care about that, and I wasn't disliked, though I think that
some kids didn't want to sit as
close to me at lunch. My favorite thing about school lunches was the
Federally subsidized milk.
There were days where I bought 3 or 4 half pints of whole milk with
lunch, and I always got at least 2.

The one food that I miss the most since going back to low carb is
milk.
