Read any parent magazine to get some good easy recipes. If your food doesn't consist of turning on the stove and cooking it's probably terrible. Getting some crappy wonder bread, opening a jar of peanut butter and jelly/honey slapping it on there and calling it a day is giving up on your kids health and shows zero parental effort.

Yes, there's nothing quite so awful, and awful for you, as raw fruits and vegetables. Also, sushi.

You have to cook the rice for sushi, you get the point. PB and J is just not trying at all.

Try again. It is not 1970, people don't use brown paper bags or make PB and J on wonder bread. Like most Americans, I put my kids peanut butter sandwich (made on organic whole wheat bread with no sugar added peanut butter) in a BPA free plastic container and then in his $20 monogrammed Land's End lunch bag.

So you took out two piece of bread, opened a can of peanut butter, slopped it on the bread and put it in a container. Glad to see you take 1 minute out of your day to feed your child.

Not trying to what? Here is the lunch my child brought to school today: peanut butter and pepper jelly on whole wheat bread, carrot sticks, green olives, clementines. I didn't cook any of it. (I could have baked the bread, but I didn't.) I didn't even pack any of it. My goals were a lunch that

1. will hold her over until after school
2. using the food we have in the house
3. with fruit and vegetable
4. that she likes

I achieved my goals, too.

OK, sashimi. I like sashimi better anyway.

Is there such a thing as peanut butter in a can? I've only ever seen it in jars, or in those plastic containers for the grind-at-the-store variety.

Don't worry, I'm sure that there is also a vegetarian option in prison. (Probably peanut butter.)

Hey, PP, sorry to burst your bubble, but you don't win any awards for feeding your child elaborate, healthy, home-cooked meals. Really, nobody in the world gives a fuck. If it helps you sleep at night, then great, but the rest of us are busy playing with or talking to our kids and not slaving behind the stove, cooking up a hefty serving of self-righteousness with a side of anorexia. You are a BORE.

Who said I am making the meals? Our nanny is an excellent cook. I do pick the ingredients.

Clearly you are trying to be obtuse. You do realize that lunch is not the only meal we feed our children so making a sandwich once a day is not the extent of feeding my child for the day.
Back to lunch, I also cut up fresh fruits and veggies for lunch and his morning snack. All in all it takes about 10 min a day to prepare his school day food.

This is his first year in school. I bought the best thermos for hot lunches I could find. For over a week I packed him hot home cooked meals (meals he enjoys) and you know what, the hot lunches were lukewarm at best by the time he had lunch so he brought the lunches home untouched. He is 6, I want a lunch he will eat. Kids don't do well when hungry

SOBA NOODLES?! WHY ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR CHILD THAT TOXIC SHIT?@!?!

If that post wasn't a joke, then I feel so terribly sorry for you. Your kid is in for a world of eating disorders when s/he's older. I can only imagine how else you parent.

Still, I'm impressed. I've never made soba noodles by hand. (Although I did make Italian buckwheat-flour noodles by hand, once.) Obviously the peanut-butter-hating PP is a better parent than I am. I will apologize to my children when I see them this evening.

Also, PB-hater also has no job.
