The pizza school lunch thread prompts this question.
How often did you eat school lunches when you were a kid, as opposed to taking your lunches? Say, up to 5th grade. Teens are a different demographic for this question, I think. Also, please state when this was, as I think the era is important to the discussion. It'd be interesting to see if there is any correlation between one era and the next.
We would get a menu for the month from the school, and my parents would let me pick 5-7 days of the months where I could eat the hot lunch. Of course, I always picked pizza, which was every Friday, and a few other things I liked. All other days I took a sack lunch. The pizza was always actually quite good, I still remember it.
It was a city of about 28,000, with 6-7 elementary schools, in the early 1970s, and each school had it's own kitchen staff employed directly by the district itself (no outside contracts).
