Elementary Lunches

Aly commented that elementary school cafeterias are a hotbed of formative memories. She's so right. Remember how there were cool lunches and just plain dumb lunches? You were a god if you brought Lunchables to the table. You were a geek if you pulled out an an apple. If your sandwhich was made with whole-wheat bread, you were an outcast, while white bread was cool. Kudos bars? In. Raisins? Most definitely OUT! Do you see a pattern? Our elementary peers burned our brains with the message that healthy foods are for losers while unhealthy foods are for the chic and desirable. No wonder we struggle with our weight later in life!
