On this episode of The Middle School Mind podcast, we welcome “TB”, one of Son’s friends from school to talk about rebooting the school lunch menu.

TB is a vegetarian and the boys talk about school lunches and what menu options are available for vegetarians. At the end of the episode we play a quick game thanks to an Instacart quiz on fun food trivia.

Here’s what Son and TB cover on this episode:

  • School lunches need a big change
  • Options for vegetarians range from cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, sunbutter and jelly sandwiches and tuna subs

  • Eating habits and portion sizes are getting so super-sized
  • Shout out to Olive Garden for a free Tour of Italy, please!

  • Too much cheese leads to our gas and potty talk side tangent
  • Son talks about a traumatic food experience from daycare. We also talked about this in our previous episode on food allergies.

Thanks to TB for being a guest on our show. The boys had a really great time talking about their experiences with lunch at school and changes that could be made to the school lunch menu. We hope to have him back on for future episodes of The Middle School Mind!
