    I had never heard of free lunch before the US. Don’t get me wrong, this is awesome but that was not something where I grew up (Europe). That being said, all education and higher education was basically free. No free lunches, but no crazy tuitions.

      Where I live in norway it is not like you could buy lunch either. People made lunch at home and took to school. Usualy a piece of bread and slice of brown cheese. May be different in huge schools.
      And anyways if someone had forgot, the teachers had a backup solution, for free.
