Once upon a time there was a little girl. She didnt like to eat, her mom didnt like to cook, and her dad lived in the land of far far away so he wasnt around to do any cooking. (Oh, well, it wasnt "IN" for men to cook those days anyway). The little girl never ate breakfast and she rarely ate the food in her school lunchbox.
