Shrink school lunches

There is another solution to the school lunch prices going up.
In the 1930s, I remember we all carried our lunches to high school. There was no cafeteria. Our lunches were simple: a sandwich made with homemade bread, a piece of fruit and a homemade cookie. That's all we had. So instead of inflating lunch prices, why not just decrease serving sizes and offer less food?
By the way, check the garbage: Are students now throwing away parts of huge servings? Perhaps our smaller servings helps explain why no one was overweight!
