I don't know why a link to a bunch of pictures of elementary school lunches made me laugh so much, but man, it did. I think it mostly had to do with the fact that each picture has those little abbreviations on it, like 'GCS' for grilled cheese sandwich. It's almost like each one is an element on some sort of twisted period table that defines the basic building blocks of a cafeteria lunch. Only this periodic table is packed in plastic trays, photographed under bad lighting, and then served with a smile.

Strangely, unlike the real periodic table, the evil cafeteria table seems to allow any base element to be mixed with any other elements without fear of a runaway chemical reaction. Take, for example, chicken fajitas (CF). Sure, no restaurant on earth would think to serve green beans and fries with a chicken fajita, but in our linoleum-lined universe, anything goes. At last, science made simple!

And getting back to GCS, is that the saddest grilled cheese you've ever seen or what? Is it even grilled? It looks they took a cheese sandwich and just dipped it in butter. They should change the abbreviation to CSDIB and stop trying to fool our kids. Lies and deception have no place in a cafeteria. Maybe in the classroom, but not in the cafeteria.

Man, a CSDIB sounds pretty good right now.
