This sounds like a terribly sugar filled unhealthy lunch. I am surprised the school hasn't confiscated your DD's lunch and sent a letter to you.

Oh good grief. Just wait until they are old enough to pack their own lunches if you really want to be horrified.

So you don't supervise what your kids pack?

Teenagers leave the house before 7am and do not need helicoptering to pack a lunch. They pack what they like, not what you like.

Thanks for the laugh PP. Bon Appetit's suggestions are hysterical! Shrimp rolls! homemade sushi! So easy and fast! How about I make my kid a turkey and cheese sandwich, throw in a pouch of unsweetened apple sauce, a banana and call it a day. Have fun with your prepping your kid's pesto shrimp skewers. Bet those smell great after sitting around in the lunch box for a couple of hours...

Here's a fabulous response to the Bon Appetit suggestions:

These are hilarious!!!!!

I thought the ham and cheese quesadillas looked good (even with the mustard), but the other comments were awesome.

And are we doomed to have that poster who's obsessed with how crappy peanut butter is on every post about lunches? 'Cause I get it, lady, you don't like peanut butter. Given that nuts are a recommended source of healthy fat and protein, I don't really know what your beef is, but whatever, can you just post once on a thread and then stop?

peanut butter is not a problem per say, it's the combination of garbage above. Maybe instead of fruit snacks apple slices or orange, instead of crackers how about some cheese or carrot sticks etc... the entire lunch seems full of pre-processed carbs, sugar and bad fats.

If you can buy your entire kid's lunch in a snack vending machine, you are doing it wrong

Your prescribed low-carb lunch will leave your kid hungry all day. Save it for yourself, not a growing child who needs energy.

I personally like all the processed preservative food.

It gives me reassurance that my kids' lunches are never going to spoil, after sitting out at room temperature for hours, even if the class AC goes out. Now if I were packing shrimp, raisin and mayonaise delight, it would be an entirely different story.

You should be thankful that parts of her crappy lunch are missing. Fruit snacks and cookies? Really?

There are so many freaks on here. There is nothing wrong with those snacks. Why waste your time spewing crap on this thread.

Go start a thread about how to make your own granola.

I wonder about this.

My child's lunch is 1/2 way between obese/process mom and hippy/freak mom. Call me moderate mom.

But I do pick my kid up every day and she's hungry. She gets a turkey sandwich (with provolone) on homemade bread. An apple, cheese slices, a granola bar and fruit snacks. What am I doing wrong?

She gets a snack at school.

"Ah, nothing says "YUM" like shrimp that's been sitting in an airtight, warm lunchbox for 5+ hours. Good luck making new friends when your lunch smells like sea snatch."

Ask her if she is really eating all of that food or if some of it winds up in the trash. It's actually a lot of food to eat at once. I used to put extra food in my kids' lunches because I thought it wasn't enough and they asked me to stop. My middle school boys get a ham and cheese sandwich, a bag of pretzels, and three Oreos (shut up). Yes, there is no fruit or veg because they tell me they toss it out when I include it. They don't get a snack but obviously they come home pretty hungry. My 3rd grader gets a ham and cheese sandwich and three Oreos. He asked me not to include anything else, however I do provide a snack for him to eat late morning - a bag of Goldfish crackers. He's not too hungry after school because of his very late lunchtime.

I hate hippies but I don't hate my kids so I would have a much healthier lunch than fruit snacks (basically candy), oreos (candy again), PB and J (barely nutritious).

If you can't see what's wrong with this picture you suck as a parent.

As I recall, DCUM has established definitively that there are actually lots of kids who love seaweed. Including my kids, who don't get seaweed nearly as often as they would like.

Meh, I think it's fine. It's better than sitting in class starving. And PB and J is a classic and is plenty nutritious.
