[quote=Anonymous]Stop making a big thing out of the 5-6 fruit loops folks. It's because the dip container in the lunch box is small and there's nowhere else to put a treat/dessert if you want to do a standard lunch of sandwich, 2 fruits/veggies, and some kind of nuts or grains. We probably have the same lunch box. My kid's treat is usually something like 3-4 mini marshmallows or a couple very small cookies (Trader Joe's has seasonal mint chocolate star cookies right now that will fit in there).

Also, my kid's school gives candy and other treats as rewards all the time so I'm not super worried that she doesn't get enough sweets during the day. I don't see "food issues" in OP's post -- she's just curious about what others do and whether the lack of variety is a big deal. In my experience, a consistent lunch works really well for kids at school, especially in ECE or early elementary. It's one less thing for them to worry about or have to adjust to. As long as it's a balanced meal, I see nothing wrong with sending them in with the same lunch every day. You can incorporate variety in other meals and on the weekends.[/quote]
