and we had to bring our own lunch to school everyday or starve. A few times, Mom would bring them by when we forgot but we definitely didn't want to make it a habit. This was in the 80's so not 100 years ago. I guess now they get breakfast and lunch.....and soon dinner. Parents certainly don't have to worry about the "child forgot their lunch again" dilemma. Parents do have it easier today in some ways.
