The Middle School Mind

2.3 School Lunch Menu Reboot

The Middle School Mind

Show Notes

On this episode of The Middle School Mind podcast and today we welcome “TB”, one of Son’s friends from school. TB is a vegetarian and the boys talk about school lunches and what menu options are available for vegetarians. At the end of the episode we play a quick game thanks to an Instacart quiz on fun food trivia.

Son and TB talk about:

School lunches need a big change

Options for vegetarians range from cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, sunbutter and jelly sandwiches and tuna subs

Eating habits and portion sizes are getting so super-sized

Shout out to Olive Garden for a free Tour of Italy, please!

Too much cheese leads to our gas and potty talk side tangent

Son talks about a traumatic food experience from daycare. We also talked about this in our previous episode on food allergies.

Thanks to TB for being a guest on our show. We hope to have him back on for future episodes of The Middle School Mind!
