denton,
"Parents could stroll in to bring forgotten sack lunches or books, and students often went off campus for lunch. As long as they were back in time for class, no problem."
I am perhaps older than you and that was my experience exactly. School lunch was a quarter, so a bunch of us would take our quarter and go up the street to "Pop's" Sunoco and get a couple of candy bars, a small bag of chips, and a pop, and eat junk food for lunch.
Never seemed to have any adverse effects. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
