From kinder to second, I went to a private school where bringing your own lunch wasn't an option (nobody had food allergies back then,) and they would physically make everyone take a bite of nasty-ass overcooked spinach when it was served.
From 3rd to 6th, I went to a public school that had this rule that you could not buy more than one chocolate milk carton. So I had my mom send an empty bottle in my soft-sided lunchbox, and I would buy one chocolate and one white milk and mix them together so that I had twice as much chocolate milk.
Once I got to junior high they offered random crap beyond the balanced tray meals, like Frito pie and chocolate chip cookies. So I ate that every single day for 3 years, until my friends were old enough to drive and we would go off-campus.
