Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Honestly - this is the first time I have ever heard of any kid not liking cheese sandwiches.

I know!  And, oddly, I love cheese!  I'll have it grilled or on any number of combo sandwiches, but just the thought of that specific cheese/mustard/white-bread combo makes me ill.

Lunchboxes are a whole nother matter.  I longed for a Partridge Family lunch box.  Sadly, mine was tartan.

What happens to the lactose intolerant kids?  Won't somebody please think of the children?!

This is America, In Wales.  "Lactose intolerance" is part of the Gay Agenda or something.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

When I was in school, there were obligatory milk breaks.  There was one girl in my class who could not have milk, so she was allowed to have whatever it was she had instead of milk.  Where do lactose intolerant children get the calcium they need for their bones?

Also, if a child is so poor his or her family cannot afford to feed them, what are the chances they'll complain of lactose intolerance?  I mean, I am not being a smart ass, I am really wondering what the numbers are.  It seems that dietary restrictions tend to show up more often in people who have access to a wide variety of foods.  They may be too hungry to complain about a stomach ache.

Soya milk now often has added calcium and vitamins without being expensive.

A slight intolerance may only give stomach ache but a serious intolerance causes really nasty systemic problems which certainly for me impeded my education because I was too ill to concentrate properly and was always off sick.
