[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is cultural. Americans throw PG and J in their crappy brown paper bagged lunches and wonder why obesity is so rampant. Stop that crap and cook a real meal.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

I could spend hours making a soufflé she could eat, and it would be less healthy.  The amount of time spent on making the meal is not related to the nutritional content of the meal.  If it were, then carrot sticks / celery sticks / hummus would be a very unhealthy meal, and it isn't.  Your soba/stir-fry isn't impressive.  The noodles are just nonnutritive carbs, and the stir-fry probably is packed with sodium and chemicals (unless, of course, your chicken is organic).  My natural peanut butter on whole grain bread is no worse.  And my nowhere-near-obese kid will actually EAT the PB sandwich.
