[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leftovers from our regular dinners. Same thing the adults eat.[/quote]

^^ this. Asian here. Kids eat the same as adults, once they have teeth.  Packed lunches are leftovers or extras of food made that day.  i.e. cook would make lunch in the morning, and kids would eat that at school that day.

We would never dream of packing a [b]peanut butter sandwich[/b], potato chips, or even juice.  [b]That's junk[/b].[/quote]

Really? A good source of fats and protein combined with whole grains you're going to call junk compared to say, the carbohydrate bomb someone else listed earlier of dumplings and white rice?  :roll: [/quote]

If you go to most of Asia, they all eat white rice.  And they are generally less over weight than our pbj eating US kids.  BTW, my kids eat pbj and white rice.  [/quote]

[b]I love how the jam magically disappears from the nutritional breakdown of a PBJ [/b]to prove a point.

PBJ = sugar + fat + more sugar with very little by way of nutrients..[/quote]

The fat in peanut butter is good fat.   Almost the same unsat/sat fat ratio as olive oil.    Kids need fat.  [/quote]
