Gakko Kyushoku Shukan school lunch: This is understandable, with people growing up eating an identical meal every day, and such people making up a growing portion of the population, she wrote in a 1980 essay titled Obento Boxed lunch , according to Asahi Shimbun. Mukoda s observations came to mind because Gakko Kyushoku Shukan school lunch week begins Jan. 24. The week is observed in commemoration of the resumption of Japan s school lunch program in 1947, with food donated through Licensed Agencies for Relief in Asia a U.S. nongovernmental organization and When television screenwriter Kuniko Mukoda 1929-1981 read a newspaper story that said about 90 percent of Japanese considered themselves middle class, she thought this was owed to Japan s school lunch system.
