brown bag vs. school lunches

[Guest]

My meals were NOT tied in with my allowance, but I also skipped meals

in Junior High/Middle School. My reason was, I got $2 for my meal, but

there was a snack bar after main lunch was done being served with

cookies, ice cream, warm pretzals, cinnamon sticks, etc. What I would

do is keep my lunch box at school, complete with old wrappers from my

lunch, and in order to go up to the snack bar, you had to show a lunch

aid that you ate your lunch. I showed them my empty lunch box each

time, and had $2 to eat junk food for lunch each day.
