The ironic part is that from an immunology standpoint, rancid lunches have probably been beneficial to our health as they'd be one of the few things that still get to stress a kid's immune system. lol.

Maybe, but I never had a rancid lunch.
I never had an ice pack, and Gramma sent me off with leftover wild game constantly. Hell, until I was 8, we didn't even have refrigeration.
How did we survive Karrie?
Yep, when I was a kid we had a cooler on the porch and when it got really stifling hot I remember putting milk and butter down the well in a bucket and we grew up without a lot of the disorders kids have today. Being raised tough never killed anyone! :lol:
I think this is why kids' immune system is so screwed-up these days.....if you're not exposed to germs...how can you develop an immunity.
I remember when a kid would drop his soother on the floor, a mother would just pick it up ...lick it clean and pop it back in the kid's mouth....now it has to be cleaned and steamed.
When I went camping with my kids we had the 5 second rules for things dropped on the ground;-)

Through sheer stupidity? Just no one tell the kids what this report says or they'll start getting sick as dogs. lol.
Tell me about it - we somehow lost, in a dressing room in a hockey rink, a hat with my daughter's last name embroidered on it (a team hat).
I would bet a fair chunk of change that nobody with that last name lives within 60 miles, and those that live there are related to me.
Who the hell would take and keep a hat with someone else's name on it?!!
I have read though this entire thread and, while I certainly can relate to a lot of the stories here, I just gotta say that I am soooo glad I no longer have to pack lunches, locate lost mittens or any of that. Lol.
Coolers, who ever heard of them in the "50's", we took almost anything and everything to school in a brown paper bag. Nothing like scrambled eggs, peppers and onions on a hero/hoagie sub bread (what ever you called it).
Definitely not like the ones today. The one we had was built out of wood with holes drilled in and covered with screen mesh to allow air to circulate.
The whole point of this exercise is to push for school lunch programs so the nanny state can brainwash your kids. These are the people that classified ketchup as a vegetable to make a balanced meal of fries.
Don't know what to make of that one, tomatoes are the main ingredient of ketchup but the experts insist that tomatoes are a fruit. :lol:
That is what I do for meals I take to work with me. Everything is nice and cool, and the ice pack keeps it that way for the entire shift.
Don't know about safe, but a BLT - made fresh just before bus time - was pretty gross by noon....
