Indoctrinated by Public School Lunch Trays

Tweet

**Just a silly rant** One day the GF and I were having lunch at a local restaurant when I noticed that she was looking at my plate and was smirking at how I tend to eat the food on my plate. I have a habit of eating my food unmixed and by itself. If my food is touching one another, I well seperate the items from each other, sort of creating a pile on itself. My rice cant touch the beans, the main course is by its lonesome off to one side of the plate, everything has its own area. She asked as to why I do this, and without missing a beat I mockingly placed the blame on the public school system and its cafeteria trays. From my first day of school to my last, I ate off of the trays with their little areas sectioned for your lunch. (Remember those trays? . . . The biggest was for the main course, the small space to the left was for some sort of vegetable, like corn niblets, apple sauce or beans. The upper left corner was for a desert, the space to the right, the top middle area was for whatever leftover the cafeteria had (like a stalk of celery impaled into a condiment cup of peanut butter). And the top right corner was for your little carton of milk or juice.) Because of this style of food tray, I was indoctrinated to keep my meal items in their proper designated areas. Its been instilled in me. Who knows why, but perhaps the school was subliminally readying me in case I ever occupied a prison, or maybe its their way of making sure I follow the "Masters" system of order. Lunch trays in the public school system are seperatists! The schools' cafeteria is run on the principles of fascism! Sectarianism amongst my food items! There is no democracy in choosing your meal and where you want it placed on the tray! Its' all decided for you ! School lunch trays are unamerican, they all come in communist colors! I never saw a red tray, or a white tray, or a blue tray. Well as you can imagine, she was not amused, she just shook her head and told me, "Seriously, how the f**k does your brain come up with crap like that? Does your brain get any oxygen?" My response, "I will now dedicate my eating routine to tearing down the imaginary borders that prevent my meals from interacting with one another. No more quarantine style of placement on my food plate. It will now become one huge lump of universal utopian slop!" "Impeach the school administrators!"
