Many parents prefer to send their children off to school with a packed lunch, believing that the food they have given them is far healthier than school lunches
Without a doubt it is healthier. Why? Because instead of ending up min the garbage the kid actually eats it. A child can not be in school all day learning without eating. Not to mention that when they get home they will be so hungry that they will attack a bunch of junk food immediately
There's another reason a packed lunch is healthier. A parent can coordinate the nutrional content in all three daily meals combined. They can plan for the time between meals. They can provide healthy food the child will actually enjoy.
