The cafeteria would probably be different in a French school where they serve a three course meal. Just heard that on NPR.

So glad this is helping everyone!

Nora, we get ideas from our own writing--thinking of places we're written about that may be common to ya/children's writers

Thanks for the plug, Robyn. Yes, Angela is Momzilla and I am Becca (the quiet, lazy CC moderator) ;)

Donna, that's a good point. I was thinking of when I was a kid, but I bet a lot of places do use styrofoam. I'll have to change that.

Kids get plastic trays? We had styrofoam. I guess they didn’t trust us enough and wanted to kill the planet!
