Black Paintings X

I found this old film while rummaging through archival footage – it’s interesting how the film shows segregated schools, integrated schools, rural, urban, etc. When I was in elementary school, the school lunch program was pretty much the same as it is shown here. By the time I hit high-school, the meal plans had drastically changed – mostly to incorporate “name-branding” and expediency (not that the regular lunch program was too time consuming… but we were made to think it was). I understand that it is commonplace now to have Burger King or Chic-Fil-A “sponsor” lunches, or even have their “food” available everyday. No wonder American waistlines have expanded so in the past decade.
