Summary
Bought or brought? Revisit the nostalgia of the school cafeteria with this collection of interviews, vivid portraits, and elaborately reimagined food photos.
Food often unites us in unexpected ways—especially on Taco Salad Day. Drawing on material from more than seventy voices, these stories capture all walks of life—from celebrities and chefs to a circus family, new immigrants, a creative dad whose illustrated lunch bags went viral, plenty of unlikely cultural mashups, and one genuine cafeteria lady. Their experiences are compelling, familiar, and foreign at the same time, forming a cultural time capsule. School Lunch celebrates our diversity and our shared experience. In their words:

- "On the days when I didn't have enough food there was always a reason to start or finish a fight." —George Foreman
