Hug It Out Lunchers!

The MYL staff is fascinated by the above photograph which accompanied last week's NY Times story about a new phenomenam at our nation's high schools: rampant hugging of hellos. Does this make the places more friendly? Do kids have excess stress ("Do I have BO?" Hugging across genders (you know the question if you're a guy). Etc.) We were particularly struck by the comment of one male student: "we have no fear, we just go in for the hug." That's the way Monz is about his lunch! Like today he had a salad box with hummus and falafel and pickled baby eggplant, beet salad etc topped off with some vegan rice pudding from Maoz Vegetarian, which sits in the food court at Town Center mall in Boca Raton.

"It was good and it was nice to see such an alternative available in an otherwise [lacking] food court. However, I have not researched them and they could be some kind of evil corporation which is insincere. But the people working there were nice and the food was good."
