Does your child eat school lunch or do you make homelunch for your child?
My children's school forbid them from going home - so they have to eat in school.
For us it varies. Sometimes we have them eat lunch at school, but sometimes its just cheaper to make a homelunch. We have cooler packs that keep the sandwiches cold for them. They collect new ones every year, and they seem to be slowly conquering the top shelves of my kitchen cabinet where my cups are supposed to be. One day soon I will have to clean house.
I make it a point to pack school lunch for my kids. That way, I know what they're eating and I can to pick healthy selection of foods for my kids. It takes a bit more work in the morning but it's well worth the effort. I've a hub on packing healthy snack lunches:
