The Agony of Packing a Healthy Lunch

While my teenagers do everything from their own laundry to basic cooking, this is the one thing I still do for them: pack school lunches. Why? Because left to their own devices, they would eat granola bars, chips and cookies. And they would also rack up debt in the Columbus City School lunch program which allows your student to accrue a negative balance. (Our highest to date--$120)

So, I pack. And I agonize. And I entreat my teens to eat the "healthy" stuff I pack.

Here is an excellent blog on the kid favorite, Lunchables.
