What I don't get about lunch in school is where this assumption comes from that it has to be a warm and complete meal, ideally with starter and dessert.
I am really wondering about that. School is more like an office job than a construction site or other heavy work and thus would not a sandwich and a salad be more appropriate? It would be much easier to offer good quality this way, especially when it comes to fruits and vegetables. The stuff you get when cooking with a limited budget for hundreds of people is seldom good or healthy.
- thrwzzz 1y agoI was bringing my own sandwitches when I was at primary school, sometimes I forgot to take them- that's the only time when I was hungry and that's what made me to make my sandwitch in the morning even if I was feeling lazy or if I did not like the smell of it (we were bringing our sandwitches in backpacks). I later learned some kids had hot meal in the cantine (that's also when I learned there was a cantine in my school), but somehow I never thought I need a hot meal at school myself. It was nice to be a kid :)
- em-bee 1y agobecause that is what a lunch looks like in our culture. you can get away with a something simple for a mid morning break if you come home early enough so that you can have a lunch at home. even at an office job i expect a warm meal for lunch. and i would also say that school for children is more hard work than an office job is for adults so the comparison is not fair.
