[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We survived the 80s without insulate lunch bags or ice packs. I brought my lunch in a paper bag every day. Your kid will be fine.

I also bring my lunch to work every day. it is always some sort of leftover/prepped meal. I leave home at 7am and do not refrigerate it. Eat sometime after noon and I am still alive to tell. [/quote]

This.  I put an ice pack in my chrildren’s lunch, but it doesn’t keep it refrigerated temp.  Just slightly colder than room temp.  I put it in because it makes the food taste fresher, not because I’m worried about spoiling over the course of a few hours. I took a deli meant sandwich nearly every day to school in a paper bag. I lived.  Sometimes I pack my kids leftovers in a Thermos (gasp, even rice).  I put boiling water in first, then heat the food and put it in.  I’m not temp checking anything though.  I have no idea if it reaches 160.  Per my kids it’s warm at lunch but not hot. It’s fine.  They have never been sick. [/quote]
