They sure did here! Our elementary school had no cafeteria. We had a lunch
cart that went to the various foyers. I worked the lunch cart, either
serving or taking money but I also helped out in the kitchen. In those days,
many things were made from scratch.

Now? I don't think much is made from scratch at all. Canned ravioli, corn
dogs, chicken nuggets. They do have a salad bad. The portions are tiny but
they have to be because lunch is only 20 min. and that includes getting the
lunch. The elementary school where Angela went had no cafeteria or even a
kitchen although there was some room with a fridge and freezer. They kept
some ice cream and applesauce in there. So food choices were limited. Salad
bar daily. Otherwise the food came on Styrofoam trays, dished up elsewhere.
It was beyond pathetic. She packed her lunch. Now there is a kitchen and
cafeteria.
