The lower class would sit on the fhxir and middle class at tables. As the rows o f tables got closer to the back wall die classes rose The amount and varieties of the lunches were also orga nized according to class. The high income diners were served every food group. They enjoyed a variety of beverages, deli sand wiches and fresh fruit. These lunch goers were also served promptly while the other class es had to wait to have their mtals that at diL lowest income level was1 a ladle of communal water and one spoonful of plain white rice. These poorest of the attendees also had to wait me longest to satiate their hunger.
