Just avoiding having so much trash. Plus it costs substantially less than continually buying ziploc and paper bags.
I didn't even know what a bento box was until I went to San Francisco last week. We stayed in the financial district and every restaurant had those things. It seems like everyone working there likes to eat like a kid. I was looking to see if the lunches came with a juice box.
Summers, what do you mean you don't eat meat at home? Whatupwitdat?!
Well, I mean I don't eat meat (anymore), so I don't cook it at home (very often). I don't mind the kids eating meat at school--this isn't about militant vegetarianism--but I worry what they're eating isn't very healthy. I can feed them a healthy dinner, but they're still getting breakfast and lunch at school. That's a lot of missed opportunities to make sure they're getting enough protein, calcium, fiber, vitamins, fruits, veggies, etc. If they have a sausage and biscuit for breakfast and then a burger and fries for lunch, the gorgeous stirfry we have for dinner is awesome, but that's one serving of veggies a day they might be eating. Not good enough.
did any of ur childrens school banned anything that has peanuts in them?
We used one paper bag about every 2 weeks. Some Ziplocs are reusable, too, depending on what was in them.
I have used the same bag to pack her lunch as well as the same sandwich and snack bags since about a month into prek. She is now a few months away from the end of kindergarten.
