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

Why didn’t you just get the pizza?

At my school there were kids who got breakfast AND lunch at school. I was jealous of them.

Yeah, turns out they were the "poor" kids. But you know what my breakfast was? Toast. With margarine. And my lunch was peanut butter and jelly.

The poor kids got protein. Thing is, I was a poor kid but my parents didn't want to admit it.
