I find that a lot of Asian American experiences would speak of school lunch and how different the Asian Americans eat.

Me? I have never experienced this myself.

When I was in elementary school/middle school/high school (aka primary school and secondary school), I mostly ate school cafeteria food. At the time, we just thought Chinese food needed to be eaten warm, and there was no microwave . . . so my parents just gave me some lunch money to buy school lunch. On school field trips, my mother would prepare me something that could be eaten at any temperature, such as cold noodles. Even so, no one really made fun of me and my food. No one really cared. No one noticed either. But then, I usually sat by myself and behaved like a loner.

I wonder if some Asian kids have this kind of experience because their own mothers stay at home and have the time to make kids lunch every single day, on top of the regular meals. My own mother would be exhausted for sure. If the schools had a microwave in the cafeteria, then my mother would make me use it and bring lunch as a way to save money. But because they didn't, she ain't making another set of food just for my lunch.

Only when I got to university did I bring lunch every single day, and I could easily do that because there was a little microwave.
