That's what matters. The kids clamored in, unpacked or bought their lunch, and in what seemed like a matter of minutes, lunch was over. These kids do not have a long time to eat. I spoke to were certain that their kids would eat if they were hungry. They see a difference in how much kids eat when they're around their friends and want to talk, and when they're at home.
School lunch is a social time.
There's probably going to be less eating and more talking.
