October 16: Time of Healthy Sandwiches for the Kids on USAs School Lunch Week
In the times before industrialization, American families considered lunch to be the main meal of the day, and people usually returned home from work or school to eat lunch together. However, if family members couldn't make it home for lunch, they would take a packed lunch instead.
Today, packed lunches have come a long way since the "brown bag" days, although many people still use brown bags even now. Children often have novelty lunch boxes made from plastic or vinyl, which are much sturdier than traditional brown bags and are more environmentally-friendly.
A large problem with packed lunches today is that many parents pack convenient yet unhealthy foods for their children, such as chocolate, sweets and chips. However, at Dishfolio, we know that there are lots of exciting ways to pack healthy school lunch and still keep the kids happy. Why not research some online food recipes for inspiration?
