Ok, well do they feed you at school?
"Yeah, they give us something different each day."
Do you like the food at least?
"No."
What's it taste like?
"It tastes like, dry...and last time they made us eat something and I threw my plate on the ground and I got in trouble...that's why I got detention."
Well, you know some people are starving in the world, and they don't get anything to eat all day long?
