Agree with you pp. Is this a private school?

Yes, it is a preschool/k. It's in the handbook as a guideline. People follow it because they do things that way anyway. I've never heard of it being an issue. I'm not sure why anyone would think lunchables and disposable plastic containers were preferable to healthier foods and reusable containers. I just don't see how the convenience outweighs the nastiness of the food or the wastefulness of either a lunchable or a Baggie. I don't want my kids thinking it's good/normal to generate that much trash. When they go to public school, they will continue to take their lunch in little tupperwares and with a cloth napkin. I also send silverware!!

Hahahahaha!!

Cloth napkin and silverware sound so proper. I had a friend who would do that for pizza. She didn't like getting her hands dirty. Very proper and polite.

I send it because it's washable, not because it's proper.

Oh, I know, I get it. It just reminded me of my friend. No one else did that back then.

DS doesn't like juice so he brings a water bottle every day and I pack him fruit in addition to the turkey lunchable (grapes, strawberries or oranges). Is this honestly so terrible?

The good news is that the damage you are doing now won't show up for decades. Your kid will be slightly more likely to develop athlosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, more likely to have a stroke...but on the other hand, they will probably be fine.

Well that is the difference. You believe lunchables are poison and I do not. We have scores of people in our family who have lived into their 90s. I just don't believe the organic hype. I feel sorry that your kids don't get to eat any treats. However it's your family and your business.

I don't believe lunchables are poison, I do give my kids treats, and I don't eat organic. I do try to feed my kids nutritious food though, including whole grain, fruit and veg.
Look, there is no point in arguing about this, the science is very clear. The nutritional value of lunchables is quite poor. The are high in sodium and low in vitamins. More important, you are establishing poor eating habits which may hurt them in the future.

I don't get it. Is it hard to pack a lunch that doesn't all come in one box? This task is just not so overwhelming that I opt to give my kids the nastiest available product instead of spending 5 minutes doing it.

I was thinking the same thing. I pack my kid's lunch every day and it takes less than 5 minutes to make a sandwich, put some fresh fruit in a baggie, grab a yogurt, add a couple of cookies, fill up her water bottle and throw everything in her lunch bag. It's not that hard.

The plastic encasing the yogurt will disrupt your child's endocrine system and make them fat, eventually give them man boobs if they are a boy. I don't wish this for your child BTW.

OMG I have no words

Wow, you would think that three decades of children eating yogurt would have convinced you that this is not a crisis waiting to happen. Now scoot, you need to find a wooden toothbrush with natural bristles. Man boobs!!!!

I think the pp was kidding, but your reasoning is, in general, very flawed. There is a crisis. The status quo is not good!

I grew up on TV dinners (we are TV people too) and Kool Aid and I am just fine. If there was anything wrong with Monsanto, Roundup or GMOs, they would not be allowed in the food supply, they are just fine. I have the right to choose to feed my family whatever I want, organics are for suckers. My kids are not fat, but they refuse to eat much veggies, and I am very busy so Lunchables a few times a week is NBD.

All evidence to the contrary.

No. I ate a lunchable once and thought it was disgusting. What you give your kids matters and can lead to bad eathing habits down the line. My parents let me eat whatever I wanted and I ate a lot of snacks and few veggies. Odd enough I have always been very skinny.

Sure enough in my 30s my health started falling apart though.

Yep learning this the hard way now.

Eh, there are too many people living too long now. We don't have enough money or people to take care of the old ones. People used to live to a ripe old age of 60 and that was good enough.
