- bonoboTP 5y agoHow do kids eat in other places or at other times? I think kids eat from plates with cutlery in most of Europe both now and in the past. Do kids in the US use plastic cutlery and paper plates or something (and drink from red solo cups)?

In Hungary kids eat something like these for lunch: https://m.blog.hu/eo/eokoskodas/image/menza2.jpg https://m.blog.hu/eo/eokoskodas/image/menza2.jpg https://kep.cdn.indexvas.hu/1/0/1758/17587/175878/17587888_03d62eb411618ddad4a3c98aa70bc08d_t.jpg https://kep.cdn.indexvas.hu/1/0/1758/17587/175878/17587888_0... Far from fancy, but at least real plates and cutlery. I guess American schools are afraid kids will hurt themselves with a real fork or break a plate on each other's head and the school gets sued out of existence by the parents or something?
