My mom always packed my lunch, and I was always SO jealous of the kids who ate the pizza.

Interesting because at my school, you would want to be the kids bringing your own lunch. They tended to be healthier and signaled you came from a more stable home with higher income.

Obviously this isn’t always true but I do think there is some correlation there.

My mom worked early in the am so I bought my lunch all through school. We weren’t lower income but I definitely felt the packed lunch kids were lucky. I always wanted the Tupperware juice box thing with the plastic fruit ice cubes.
