For the better part of a year during elementary school, I was sent to school with two lunches because they discovered I had been sharing mine with a friend whose parents couldn’t pack a lunch for her. It’s much too easy for the EcoParent Militia to forget that there is a regrettably huge number of children still out…

I am also a ghetto/white trash lazy parent. My kid eats Lunchables with a fruit cup probably 4 out of 5 school days.

In about 2rd grade at my private elementary school they hired a new catering company to run the cafeteria. I guess the company was just a catering company, or didn’t really understand kids? It was all 80’s gourmet catering food (my mother swears they tried to serve a bunch of 7 year old kids quail eggs, although I…

Also: literally 95% of the time I make an actual from-scratch, home cooked meal (and I'm a damn good cook), my kids ask for PB&J. Just to torture me.

Screw them. Lunchables are convenient and probably not the worst thing you could give to a kid and also neat and something that I’ve quite happily eaten as an adult.

Holy fucking shit. I can’t quite wrap my brain around the judgmental classist bullshit. Of course, gotta respect the fact that they aren’t wrapping it up in faux concern for the “lower classes.”

If it makes you feel any better, my kids go to school with parents like this. 90% of that preciously healthy shit ends up in the trash. The kid at the table with the Fruit Roll-Ups is king, but if there’s nothing but carrot sticks, they start fighting over the strawberries.

You are a failure at life because of Lunchables? Amateur. I blame my failures on my lunches of Coke, potato chips and a chocolate bar. Five days a week. For 4 years of high school.

The joke is on those assholes, because kids LOVE a motherfucking lunchable. Including this 30-something child.

My mom was very against pre-packaged food, and she’d still laugh at the idea of cooking a school lunch. Peanut butter sandwich and some carrot sticks was the extent of her pack lunches of love.

I just LOL’d really loudy at this in my work cube. Well done.

That really pissed me off. My high school was one of those super underfunded inner city public schools, and a vast majority of the students were on free lunches. I would like whoever wrote that quote to look these teens in the eyes and tell them how “ghetto” they are just because their cucumbers aren’t shaped like…

Right? I went to school with a PB&J every day until high school, and my mother went off to work as a firefighter and, later, paramedic. I was fine. I still can’t cook (and don’t like to) but I have a badass mom and a great work ethic so I think it evens out. When I see all these precious, twee little boxed lunches,…

Sorry you were clearly unloved and are now an underachieving garbage sack. You might as well have been eating out of one of the ocean’s trash islands. /s

Anti-Abortion Activists Climb Into Trash, Realize They’re Finally Home

Ban all guns. Make them illegal to posses. Getting caught with one is an automatic jail sentence. This nonsense has gone on for too long. This amendment was authored by people who were okay with slavery. It does not, and should not, translate to 2015 America

Or: “It’s all the same shit and there’s nothing wrong with any of it.” I am so so tired of this minutiae of categorization of every single thing that happens in women’s bodies. Do what you want and what you have to medically. Period, enough already. Enough of the stupid stigma and made-up distinctions that were…

In fairness, D&C refers to dilation and curetage (sp?) which is just a procedure to empty the contents of your uterus, whether viable or not. For my abortion, they used D&C.

The medical term for miscarriage is spontaneous abortion. A D&C is the procedure used for both elective abortion and for incomplete spontaneous abortion - there’s not some other way of doing it for women who wanted their babies than there is for women who don’t.

If you go to the Rio, it also one of the last places in Las Vegas to still have Baron Von Bacon. Might not be your thing, but I play it for hours. The pirate theme pays better than the unicorns, btw. Here’s a link to the video:
