Everyone eats two dishes, and often dessert. If they don't eat this one it's like skipping dinner for us. Supper, the meal at the end of the day, is much more like our lunch. A sandwich bunged together in a hurry and a piece of fruit. It really does matter that they eat this meal as it is their main meal of the day. The servings, I assume, vary in size according to age.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-15546388653308064882010-05-16T02:26:00.976-07:002010-05-16T02:26:00.976-07:00I love the idea of "real" food in the ca...I love the idea of "real" food in the cafeteria. That sounds like an awful lot of food though. My son is such a picky eater, and he would never eat so much in one sitting so he would be really under the gun if he had to eat it all. I grew up having to clean my plate and it scarred me. It was years after I left home until I really opened up to food. It's a strange topic though. Maybe I'm just such a picky eater too which is why I find it strange!The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516287894431519640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-15946985892075411462010-05-16T01:02:12.530-07:002010-05-16T01:02:12.530-07:00I am a little intrigued too, and now I'd like ...I am a little intrigued too, and now I'd like to see if I could stay for lunch one day.
