Fairly satisfied.

Assembly line.

I have 2 children below college age, one in primary and one in middle
school. Neither leaves school for lunch. (But when my oldest child, who is
now in college, was going to high school, he often left for lunch. His
favorite place was a Chinese take-out.)


> 4.  Does your child's school provide classes on nutrition?

Not exclusively, but the topic is brought up in science classes.
