The challenge is to be able to prepare REAL food for them. That definitely requires some of our time but absolutely worth it. The problem is that the more that we want our kids to benefit from the nutrition provided by REAL food the more that they prefer junk food. How do we make our kids love REAL food?

All I would get for school was a tomato and cheese sandwich, which would get placed at the back of my schoolbag and squashed during the day (I had no lunch box.) Then, by lunch time, I would grab the sandwiches and have to deal with tomato-soggy bread. Yuck! Eventually, I gave up and rather went hungry until I got back from school at about 3pm. Although I would be starved, at least I didn't have to endure soggy sandwiches every day. And at least I could make my own lunch and ensure I got what I liked! Man, your kids are lucky.

Well designed and it holds up to everyday use very well. I highly recommend it! Making lunches is a bit frustrating because I have an extremely picky eater and I am constantly trying to come up with creative yet frugal lunches. I love all the ideas at http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ but unfortunately my kids are not adventurous enough to try some of the foods. I would love to see a post dedicated to lunch ideas... foods that travel well from home to school and that will stay fresh for a few hours with a cold pack; clever ideas for presentation; healthy snacks?
