Food for thought...

When I was in high school, there were 3 options for lunch in the cafeteria.  1) a basket of french fries; 2) nachos and cheese; 3) wait in line for the "regular" lunch, usually consisting of a hamburger in a plastic wrapping, some kind of pizza on garlic bread, or a corn dog.  At Buseok Elementary School, a public state-sponsored school, the menu will always include steamed rice, some type of soup (usually either tofu, cabbage, or seaweed), and kimchi.    


One this particular day, we had a special treat...lettuce wraps.


Other items that show up on my lunch tray...

                                         Lotus root.......a banana.......Chinese noodles

                                                                                                      ....and water (always).



Ps.   Korean kids aren't fat either.  Interesting...
