Lively Lunches

Lunches used to be quite different from today. It was treated more like a mid-day break, a short one, than

an actual meal and the lunch counter was always a favorite place to go eat at. Nope, they didn't serve jumbo-burgers and a pile of fries. Instead, lunch was quite simple and just enough for an energy boost without stuffing you. 

It could also be a social time where workmates or neighbor friends could get together and nibble and gossip. 

For children, it was considered a must and, though it wasn't large in size, it was healthy. Far healthier than what kids often get today.
