A PHOTO HISTORY OF AMERICAN SCHOOL LUNCHES - BON APPETIT
From bonappetit.com
- A Fine Pickle. In the 19th century, there simply was no such a thing as a school lunch (unless it was an act of charity). Children either went home for lunch, went hungry, or were given a penny by their parents to buy food.
- Do-Gooders Step In. By the 1920s, however, Americans had become entranced by the relatively fledgling science of nutrition and home economics, says Susan Levine, director of the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of the greatly informative School Lunch Politics: The Surprising History of America's Favorite Welfare Program.
- Shirley Temple Likes Milk. </head>Soon after they became commonplace, school cafeterias became yet another place for schoolchildren (like these 1936 young 'uns) to absorb lessons—or propaganda, depending on who you're asking.
- A Great Hunger. During the Great Depression, those volunteer programs couldn't handle the influx of children who now relied on school lunches as their major source of sustenance, like these undernourished Maryland school kids in 1935.
- Two Birds. Economists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture hit upon an elegant solution that would serve two purposes: The government would pay farmers for their surplus foods, then donate that food to needy schools to use.
- Surplus Stores. The problems with relying on a vast bureaucracy to turn surplus commodities into school lunches quickly became obvious. Among the most ludicrous was the fact that schools got whatever foods farmers had to get rid of lots of, which led to situations where school officials had to make hundreds of children's school lunches out of nothing but onions or olives or grapefruit.
- Lunch with Mickey. The government and activists weren't the only ones who saw a future in getting involved in what kids were eating. In 1935, the very first themed lunch box was released, and it had Walt Disney's seven-year-old star, Mickey Mouse, on it, grinning as he carried his schoolbooks.
- The Home Front. As the U.S. prepared to enter World War II, the entire country had to re-engineer itself for war—and many saw an opportunity to re-engineer children's eating habits, as well.
- Patriotic Duty. It wasn't just about happy kids. In World War I, one out of every three U.S. military recruits was rejected because he was malnourished or had defects related to being undernourished as a child.
- The Science of School Lunches. The Roosevelt administration hired famed anthropologist Margaret Mead (pictured) and other experts to come up with scientific guidelines for children's nutrition, or the Recommended Daily Allowances—teenage girls were supposed to consume 2,400 to 2,800 calories a day, teenage boys between 3,400 and 3,800, to come from "balanced meals" of meat or beans, green and yellow vegetables, citrus fruits, milk, bread, and butter.
