Insulated Lunch
Being overweight is a big problem in North American children and is also now becoming a global problem. One of the main reasons for this is that they spend more time watching television and playing video games than any other activity. Children also tend to eat more while watching television. Parents should try to limit these sedentary activities to less than two hours per day.
A recent study looking at television and video-game use and their relationship to obesity found that children who were limited to seven hours of television and video games per week had significant decreases in weight and body fat compared to a control group who were allowed to watch television or play video games for more than seven hours a week. The first group of children also ate fewer meals in front of the television.
To prevent children from becoming overweight, parents should therefore encourage children to develop skills for both indoor and outdoor activities, such as arts-and-crafts projects, creative imaginary play, jump rope, or hula hoop - basically, any activity that does not require expensive equipment or a large play area.
School lunch-box ideas
When preparing a school lunch box for your child, make sure to include foods from each of the food groups and vary these foods throughout the week. Variety will ensure that you are providing the maximum number of nutrients and will also prevent your child from getting bored with eating the same things.
Prepare foods that are appropriate for your child's age; for example, peeled apple or pear slices are ideal for a young child, while whole fruit is fine for an older child. You could try letting your child make his or her own sandwich, choosing healthy fillings together. If your children buy drinks at school, teach them why it is better to choose low-fat milk, bottled water, or even low-fat chocolate milk, all of which are more nutritious than sodas and juice drinks.
Unhealthy lunch
Ham and cheese are high in saturated fat, while white bread is low in fiber. Potato chips, chocolate-chip muffin, and cola add extra fat, sugar, and calories to this very unhealthy lunch.
Healthy lunch
Whole-wheat pita containing sliced chicken, tomato, and lettuce is a nutritious low-fat lunch. A red apple, low-fat yogurt, and fresh orange juice are healthy choices and add vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Lunch-box tips
Try some of these suggestions for your child's lunch box, and make sure you follow the storage tips.
Lunch menu ideas
Provide a carton of long-life low-fat milk or apple juice with each lunch. Add one or more pieces of fruit, and vary the choices daily.
- Raisin bread or an English muffin spread with light cream cheese and topped with either low-sugar jelly, cucumber slices, or tomato. Serve with fruited yogurt.
- Whole-wheat pita filled with tuna, light mayonnaise, lettuce, and sweet pickle relish. Serve with cherry tomatoes and low-fat chocolate milk.
- Taco with kidney beans, topped with low-fat cheddar cheese, lettuce, and very mild salsa. Serve with baby carrots and fresh pear slices.
- Pasta salad with tuna or some shredded chicken breast, corn, cucumber slices, and chopped parsley with a low-fat dressing. Serve with a cereal bar.
Storage tips If keeping food cool at school poses a problem, freeze drinks or low-fat yogurts at home, and by lunchtime they should have become defrosted.
- Keep cold foods cold in an insulated lunch box. Include a frozen juice pack or water bottle.
- Keep hot foods warm by using an insulated portable container.

Where to buy a lunch box?
I want to pick up a lunch box for my toddler, to bring along on our zoo trips to save $$'s.
Where the heck are they this time of year? I checked Walmart and couldn't find anything, maybe I was looking in the wrong section...?
where can you find just little plastic insulated ones?
yes yes you can. At Walmart or Target. At Walmart they are in with the Kitchen stuff, like the Plastic containers that hold food, water bottles, etc.
At Target they are in with the near the camping stuff.
I know this because I just had to go buy some too
