What I learned about myself:

• Thanks for your comments and emails. They mean the world to me.
• I still am proud of myself for doing this blog project and balancing the rest of my real life responsibilities. I don’t know how I find the time.
• I ate through half a year of school lunches! And my health didn’t suffer too badly in the short run..

• guest bloggers who care about school lunch issues
• international perspectives on lunches at school
• your thoughts and feedback
