Boulder, CO to stop selling ice cream at pools and parks

[JanMichael]

47. I finished HS in 1986 (so school from 1974-86) and you are correct.

The food (I was in a public school K-12) was prepared by the cafeteria staff not like today where it is usually prepackaged garbage. The food wasn't great by any means (but filling and not too much sugar) but there was always one vegetable (usually green beans or cabbage), some fruit (most likely canned but still fruit), some starch (bread, potato, etc), a meat (I wasn't a vegetarian back then), sometimes casseroles, and a milk, water(in a glass) or OJ. We occasionally had those apple crumble deserts and sometimes pudding. It was decent institutional grub.

But cupcakes? The Lunch Lady would have kicked our asses if we asked for a cupcake.

We did do a paper drive but no constant selling of crap or begging for donations. I think in HS we had a vending machine for sodas but it was usually broken (maybe on purpose?).

And yes it was sooooo tough...
