It's a crying shame, isn't it, sf?

I grew up in schools where real people cooked real canned food. Don't
get me wrong. Canned food is some of the least adulterated food
available. I do know the cooks in my childhood schools DID cook the
ground beef in the sloppy joes, jes like I do, today. We also ate
real lettuce and tomatoes in our grn salad side, when we got it, but
more often than not it was canned fruit salad or potato salad from I
know not where. But, the corn bread, chili, meat loaf, cole slaw,
etc, were all real food, made from fresh ingredients cooked by two
little ol' ladies in the kitchen. We could see the pots and pans
a-bubblin' on the stoves. I don't see why an illegal can't cook real
food for min wage as well as a push microwave buttons for min wage.
