I agree with you completely, Brooklyn1. Pizza isn't the most evil food,
especially if you make it with nice ingredients. That's what my daughter
ate for breakfast before school for many years.

Another thing: So many ppl talk about how crappy school lunches were? I
always liked them back in my day. For me, a school lunch was much better
than any bag lunch that I took to school.

PS - and "back in my day," (the 60's) the school lunches cost 35 cents, then
rose up to 50 cents at one point. heheheh

I also remember those little half-pint milk cartons only cost 2 cents each
when I was in elementary school. I wonder what they charge now?
